At least once every term, sometimes every half term, we practice what to do if there is an emergency in school. Sometimes when the siren goes off it is really noisy, but we know what the siren means!
If the siren goes off there maybe a fire somewhere in the buidling so we have to walk quietly and quickly to a safe place in the school playground. Our teachers call out the registers just to make sure we are all out of the building, and that we are safe.

Easter bonnets – from start to finish
We celebrated all the wonderful Easter bonnets that the children made with a fashion parade in a special assembly. The parents couldn’t believe how the children had used all the recycled materials to create such amazing hats!
Who Do You Think Made the Best Easter Bonnet?
In each class the children decided which bonnets they liked – and how important the influence of recycling was on their particular bonnet and how this made theirs the best. Each bonnet was made with recycled materials that the parents helped to collect and the children bought to school.
St Faith’s Recycles
Easter is a big Christian celebration at St Faith’s every year. Every year part of the celebration is always an Easter bonnet parade, and we love an Easter egg hunt! So this year we decided to ‘go green’ and made our Easter bonnets with only recycled materials. In fact, we thought of all sorts of ways in which we could help our environment.
In Year 6 we had long discussions about to help our environment. We even went online to search the internet for ideas. These are some of the ideas we came up with:
- Walking to school
- Picking up litter
- Recycled food
Year 5 came up with an Eco Charter last half-term – you can listen to our ideas in our video (above) and take a look at the Charter here.
Our 5 Important Rules
We have come up with 5 important things that help us learn to live together happily. We hope you like our ideas!
St Faith’s Behaviour
We expect our pupils to be able to:
- Move quietly around the school, not running inside the building
- Be silent in the hall before the start of worship and when walking in and out of the hall
- Allow others to speak without interruption
- Remember that when addressed by an adult, they stop, look at the person, listen and answer using that person’s name where possible
- Open doors, hold doors for adults as well as for each other
- Take care of their own and school property and value other people’s property
- Be on time
- Display good table manners at lunchtime
- Treat each other with respect and care
Our 5 Important Rules are:
LEARNING
We come to school to learn and to support the learning of others.
RESPECT
We respect everyone we meet, children and adult alike.
SUPPORT
We build people up, not knock them down.
SPACE
We keep our hands and feet to ourselves.
MANNERS
We always say please and thank you.
When Stories Meet Recycling!
Ms Mumford inspired the learning on Eco Day. We started off our day reading stories to each other, and during the day changed the atrium into an explosion of creativity. We recreated our stories with recycled materials – our entire atrium became another world, full of fantasy and fun! See if you can tell what stories we recreated with our recycled materials?
