Year 3 used their observation skills today to carefully dissect a flower. They removed each part and matched it correctly to the section on their mat. They also learned about the role of bees as pollinators and how flowers grow into the fruit we eat!

On Friday morning we took time out of the timetable to focus on British Values. The children drew around their hand and as we introduced each value, they wrote this next to a finger on their hand. Fr each value, the children learnt about what it meant and then took part in an activity to help them to understand the concept.  Democracy - We have done a lot about this over the last month when voting for various things across the school but today the children had the chance to vote for a story to read at the end of the morning. We talked about each person having a vote and that this was the fairest way to make a decision when finding out the majority decision.  Rule of Law - The children gave examples of laws they knew of in our country and then school rules. We compared them and found that some overlapped and were generally consistant, but the majority were there to keep everyone safe, happy and healthy. We talked about the consequences of people not following the law or rules, consequences for them and the people around them.  Tolerance - We have done a lot of learning on this subject in PSHE and so the children were already knowledgeable. They did a 'find the person who...' activity where they walked around class to find children who did certain things. This showed how diverse we are and that this is exciting and should be celebrated. Mutual Respect - For this the children played a game where they heard a comment e.g. Chocolate is the best flavour of ice-cream, and put their hands on their head if they agreed and hands on hips if they didn't. We discussed that it is ok to think differently to others, this is what makes us unique! Individual Liberty - We looked a photographs of a variety of people in different clothes, with different skin tones and hair colours and discussed how important it is to stay true to who you are and feel free to express yourself and the kind of person you are.  Right at the end, we learning a 'rights' song that was produced by Unicef about the rights of people. Please click on the link below to listen.

We’re looking forward to welcoming you to our Celebration of Learning event today from 2:50pm. As usual: * Nursery, Reception and Year 1 parents should sign in at the front office. * Parents of pupils in Years 2 - 6 should enter through the hall doors, where staff will tick you off the register. Please remember to let your child’s class teacher know before taking them home so they can be signed out correctly. We hope you enjoy celebrating the children’s learning with us!

📷 We have completed the band photo shoots for all 9 of our fabulous QSOR bands today 🎉 (dodging the downpours this afternoon!)....and what a brilliant load of Rock Stars they were! All the photos will appear on the QSOR Facebook page soon and will be sent to families when they have been edited.  All the bands were a credit to the school and we have told Mrs Hopkins how impressed we have been. A very special shout out to Year 3 band 'The 4 Blades of Rock' who we had the pleasure of working with this afternoon 👇 - we had so much fun with this lovely group of Rock Stars and it was wonderful to see how much they support one another! Well done Woody, Maisie, Ben & Isaac 👌
