PSHE and Personal Development Autumn and Spring 2023-2024

Our winter walk made me think of Frosty the Snowman. We saw ice and it was slippy so we were careful. Even the cows were still out in the field!

We love 'Bookvent'. We get to read a new book every day.

I loved making our Christmas crafts. I'll put it on my tree.

It was so much fun putting up the tree and playing with the tinsel.&#160;

It was chilly but I laid down in the snow.

Children's Mental Health Week

It helped children know how to make themselves feel better.&#160;&#160;

We learnt how to keep our minds healthy so we don't need to go to the doctor or hospital.

ROKT

Bouldering was my favourite. I was scared when I climbed the big wall but felt proud that I did it.&#160;&#160;

I really enjoyed the tunnels. It was very dark but we had helmets and torches. It's like going on a new adventure, you just need to try it out and you might love it!

Achievement Points

Year 6 Football Tournament

Our Year 6 football team put in an excellent effort at the tournament and made us all very proud!

Start of Christmas Assembly

I like that we all get together to sing and spend time together. We also get to make people smile at Christmas, who might not have much.

We really enjoyed doing this and weren't nervous at all because we practiced. We have been doing Hakuna Matata too!

Giving presents is a chance for us to be kinds and show the world that we look after others.

I loved it! It was my first one and it was nice to experience it.

Our final day started with a cruise on the River Thames.

I liked how they told the story of Miss Honey through Matilda making up a story in the library.&#160;&#160;

I went a bit green because it was so bumpy on the water. We got to look outside for the places as the guide spoke about them.

Loved it! I would go again. I thought the young actors were really good.&#160;&#160;

My favourite song was the alphabet one and the staging that went with it.&#160;&#160;

Turn the page for our next stop...The Science Museum...

Christmas Dinner Day

All of the food was yummy and we listened to Christmas songs!

I love pulling the crackers with my friends.

It was nice to eat dinner with my teacher.

KS1 and KS2 Cinema Trip

EYFS Trip To Wonderland

I really liked playing with all the toys.

My present was a book called 'Brave Little Penguin'.&#160; It was good.&#160;

I got presents. It was a book and I've read it already.

School Council

Meet Our Ambassadors

It makes me happy and proud because I go to meetings where we talk about different ways to help school and our community.

We started our school representative groups to ensure we are listening to our pupils and using their ideas to enhance our curriculum. We love making sure our pupils are learning about things that interest them.

Our ambassadors complete an application before being selected for their important role.

We want everyone to know how to stay healthy.

Stay and Play in EYFS Spring 1

I like playing in the sand area with my daddy.&#160;

I played hide and seek with my mummy and my best friend, Noah.

Year 6 London Residential

Everybody was talking and sharing snacks on the way down.&#160; There were barely any sweets left for the room at night!

We stopped for lunch before heading to the Houses of Parliament.&#160;

I liked the workshop where Seph was Speaker of the House and we had to think of an argument and convince the other side to agree with us, e.g. ban smoking.

As we left we saw the Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak driving in.

We had a guided tour and learnt about the history. We had earphones in so the guide could speak quietly.

Book Hut

Every Friday afternoon, two lucky children from each class get to visit the book hut and choose a book to take home and keep forever

I like the book hut because you can get books to take home that you can read with your parents or by yourself. You can also share them with your friends at book club.

The book hut inspires people to read books and is a reward for behaviour.

I like the idea of the book hut so people get to read more at home and the books are really good.

The Great Big Dance Off

The best bit was performing and having fun with your friends.

I am very excited for the final and am already thinking about auditioning for next year!

Year 2 Forest School

You can have loads of fun exploring in a safe space. You don't always get to do things like that at home.

My favourite part was going in the forest and climbing trees!

I made a Nutella donut in a pan above the campfire. It was so yummy!

We made potions with food colouring and treasures found in the forest.

Santa Visits School!

Santa came to our class and brought us chocolate!

School Council Park Visit

Some children might not get to play out because the park isn't safe and they would have to drive far away to find a nice place.

It is important to help other people have fun in their local area.&#160;&#160;

The basketball court has a concrete surface. It needs something soft so that children can play without getting hurt.

We want to help the local community get new equipment and make it safe.

It was fun waving at the group in the other capsule. We spotted the BT Tower and Big Ben.&#160;

Rest Centre Visits

We went to sing Christmas carols at Brighouse Rest Centre and Bridge House Care Home.

It's good to go to the care homes to make them smile at Christmas and know that they're not alone.

I liked how happy the elderly people were as they listened to us.

The people we visited were really nice and welcoming. I liked how they joined in with the singing.

Attendance Award

Each week, classes with with 95% attendance or more are allowed to choose a treat from the hat.

Cliffe Hill Values

I like it because you get a chance to have a fun treat in class.&#160;&#160;

It encourages people to come to school and learn.

I think it's great, even when other classes win.

Year 1 Forest School

The smores were really sticky but I could have eaten lots! We made popcorn too.

When you feel good about yourself and your achievements, you feel happier.

I know what is special and important to me and I know what my goals are.

It is important that we listen to each other and don't talk over each other so that we feel heard and respected.

Stay and Play in EYFS Spring 2

It was fun. I showed mummy what I play with.

My mum joined in with story time. We pretended to be the animals in the story.

We headed out on the overground and the Tube. First stop...The Tower of London.

I really liked going to the top and using the interactive games.&#160; The archery game was the best.

Coming back down the steps for the tower felt like it was going on forever and it was so narrow.&#160;&#160;

I liked it but it was far too short a journey. I thought we would be on it a lot longer. There were so many people, squished together!

Christmas Preparations

We all had a go at putting decorations on the tree.&#160;

Year 4 Forest School

The smores and pizza were my favourite.&#160;

You get to make things that you don't normally make and we played in the mud!

Boccia Competition

It was fun and nice to see other schools.&#160;

It was something new and I enjoy trying new things.

You should help your friends and work and play together.

We saw a lot of different machines and inventions from different periods of time.

Everybody got the chance to meet Santa and receive a present. Luckily, he said we have all been good this year!

I was excited to meet Santa and I told him what I want for Christmas.&#160;&#160;

We grow as people; learning new things, becoming citizens of our world and developing high aspirations.

PSHE and Personal Development at Cliffe Hill 2023-2024

Anti-Bullying Week

Bullying can happen online and it can be hard to stop because you might not know who it is.

It's good to be aware of what bullying is and how to stop it.

Team work is all about working together and helping each other to be successful.&#160;&#160;

Dance Off Rehearsals

I like making things. I like using paint and sticking with glue.

Rehearsals have been going great. I'm excited to try my costume and I wonder what it will be.

It was fun trying to copy the Chinese numbers in the sand.&#160;

Remembrance

We decorated poppies. They are to remember the soldiers who died.&#160;

It's important to give respect to the army who served for us and protected us.&#160;

Stay and Play in EYFS

I played with lots of mums and dads. I showed them all of our toys.&#160;&#160;

I liked it when my grandma came and we made Christmas cards.&#160;

I like my mum coming and playing with me.&#160;&#160;

My grandma came with my sister, it was really fun.

If you are a bully, you will get told off.&#160;&#160; If you bully it is not nice.&#160;

You should know that if you are a bully, it's never too late to change.&#160;

If you are being bullied tell the teacher or another trusted adult. Keep talking to them if it doesn't stop straight away.

Community is the people you spend time with and who you live or work with in a group. We want to look after our community and be as one.

We played in the trees. The hammocks were very comfortable.

The bubble wands were lots of fun. I am going to try it at home.

Year 3 Forest School

I enjoyed looking in the forest and also making the magical potion.

You get to climb trees and collect things from nature.

Book Hut

Watching a film after school is really relaxing.

It's so wonderful to get a new book because you get to read it with your mum and dad.

The hard part now is choosing my favourite!

I am getting a lot faster at answering questions and my heat map has more green boxes.

Chinese New Year in EYFS

I liked trying the food. It was really good.

There were animals in the story. They had a race. The rat won by pushing the cat in the water.

Harvest

Harvest is important to give good food to people who might not have any.

After School Clubs

It is a time to relax and be with friends at school. I love getting to draw!

Clubs always keep our bodies and brains active, helping us to stay healthy.

It's really good exercise and I get to do it with my friends!

You get to learn new skills and I like it when we work as a team.

My heart beats fast at football club so I know I am getting good exercise.

Judaism Talk by Ivan

It was fun to learn about another religion. We found out a lot about Shabbat and Hanukkah

He was really good and it was kind of him to go into every class.

I liked looking at the Hebrew letters and trying to say 'Shalom'. Did you know they read from right to left?

Children In Need

We got to dress in non uniform and donate to help other people. I think it is fun but also kind to do it.

We helped the children. We are kind to people and want to help them.

We raised money for children who don't have as much as us so they can eat and get medicine.

We had a debate and Seph was an excellent Speaker of the House.

It was great to have rooms with our friends.&#160; We could play games and chat.&#160;&#160;

It was so exciting to see the buildings we had been learning about in real life.

I liked getting to play games with my friends outdoors.

On the last day, I nearly ate all of the bread. It was too nice.&#160;&#160;

It is fun do learning outside the classroom and I loved making the tasty bread.&#160;&#160;

I liked making the smores and the fire. The marshmallows were yummy.
