Reminder – NSPCC PANTS workshop

We’re excited to let you know that our school will be hosting a PANTS workshop for parents/carers delivered by the NSPCC on Thursday 6th November from 2:30-3:00pm. This important session helps children understand the PANTS rules, which teaches them how to stay safe from abuse in a simple, age-appropriate way. Please note, this workshop is for parents/carers only. 

Before the workshop, children will take part in a PANTS-themed assembly, introducing them to the key messages in a fun and engaging way. Then, they’ll receive a very special visit from Pantosaurus, the NSPCC’s friendly dinosaur who helps make learning about safety memorable and enjoyable.

We’re also pleased to share that we’ll be launching more PANTS activities in January, continuing to build on the children’s understanding and confidence around this vital topic.

The workshop and follow-up activities are part of our ongoing commitment to safeguarding and empowering our pupils with knowledge that helps keep them safe both in and out of school.

If you have any questions or would like to learn more about the PANTS campaign, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with school.

Please see below flyer attached for details regarding the workshop. If you would like to attend, please book a free place via ParentPay.

EKO session

Welcome back. We hope you have all had a lovely half term break and ready for another exciting half term ahead!

Just a reminder that it is our EKO (Forest School) sessions this Wednesday (5th).

Please send your child in their forest school clothes and trainers. They can bring their wellies in a bag to change into when it is their session. As the weather is turning colder and wetter, please ensure your child is dressed in warm clothes and waterproof coats.

Thank you,

Year 3 team

NSPCC PANTS Assembly

This week, (03.11.25), children from Reception to Year 6 will be discussing the NSPCC’s PANTS rule as part of a class assembly, led by the class teacher.  During the assemblies, we will aim to teach our pupils the following important safety skills without giving explicit information.

We will be teaching our pupils the NSPCC’s underwear rule, using the ‘PANTS’ acrostic.

PANTS stands for:

  • Privates are private
  • Always remember your body belongs to you
  • No means no
  • Talk about secrets that upset you
  • Speak up, someone can help

The content of the session will be delivered in a way that is fully age appropriate.  The children will then complete additional class sessions in January as part of our ‘Share Aware’ week.

If you would like to know more about the NSPCC’s campaign, please feel free to book onto the parent/ carer workshop hosted by the NSPCC, taking place at Newdale Primary school on 06.11.25 (2:30-3:00pm). This can be booked via Parent Pay. Alternatively, if you have any questions, please speak to the class teacher.

Thank you for your continued support.

Welcome Back Reception

We hope you had a lovely half term! We are looking forward to welcoming you back and hearing about your break.

PE days and Forest School remain the same for this half term:

Wednesday – Outdoor PE (Please come dressed in PE Kit – uniform kit please, no branded logos).

Thursday – Forest School (Please bring warm kit, a waterproof coat and wellies in a bag to change into). We will leave kit boxes outside classroom doors to drop kit bags in and will put them back out at home time to collect kits from. Kit boxes have a coloured sticker for your child’s group so they are easier to place and find.

Friday – Indoor PE (Please come dressed in PE Kit – uniform kit please, no branded logos)

 

We will keep you updated if there are any changes to days as lovely events get booked in, in the lead up to Christmas.

 

Thank you for your ongoing support.
