On Tuesday it was Internet Saety Day. We started the day with a fantastic assembly led by our school Digital Leaders. They explained the importance of staying safe online and discussed different scenarios children may face online. In our classes we had fun making badges and posters to show what we had learnt.
Safer Internet Day in the Infant Department
Date: 5th Feb 2019 @ 3:47pm
Today was Safer Internet Day and the day started with the infant children listening to an assembly which was presented to them by the junior 'Digital Leaders'. This assembly was all about how to stay safe online and how it is incredibly important that we never share our personal information with others online.
In their classrooms the children enjoyed completing different activities linked to the theme of the day, which included making and designing their own Safer Internet Day alien badges and each child received their own wristband which will serve as a reminder of all the important messages taught today.

Today, we were lucky enough to take a trip to Stockley Farm. Whilst we were there we went on a tractor ride, groomed a horse, bottle-fed kids and saw lots of different animals like cows, goats, sheep and pigs. We were also able to feed the goats from our hands! What an experience! We went on a Woodland Walk and saw lots of natural habitats for animals like foxes, buzzards and pheasants. It takes a lot to care for so many animals and to keep the farm clean and tidy for them; there were tractors and farmers that help to keep the farm a lovely environment for the animals and we were so impressed. It was a very busy day down at Stockley Farm!

On Friday 18th May 2018, all year groups at St Vincent's gathered together on the school field to celebrate the upcoming Royal Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. We listened to some fantastic regal music played to us by some of the Junior children and we took part in singing 'God Save the Queen' altogether, it was quite a show! We then sat together and tucked into our packed lunches whilst dressed in our red, white and blue clothes. We felt very patriotic!

This afternoon, we had special visitors to Reception...the police arrived (not because we were in trouble!) with two huge horses and a police car. PC McNulty, and other officers, explained to the children about their uniforms and the equipment they carry with them at all times. We were then allowed to sit in the police car and also stroke the horses. The children listened carefully as the officers explained about the horses, why and where they are used. The sun shone which just completed our fantastic afternoon!

Over night, there was an incident in the Reception classroom. The children turned into detectives to work out what had happened and who had left a mess in each class. The children found some clues in the shape of footprints and deduced that there had been pigs and a wolf involved...

In the Infant Department we had a very busy and informative day for Internet Safety Day. The infant children enjoyed an assembly that was presented to them by the Year 5 digital leaders. The Year 5 children delivered online safety messages to the children through role play and drama.
In class the children then made their own online safety badges,which we are sure provided a talking point at home.
Year 2 children also made their own digital footprints and took part in a class quiz.

Today, we went on our very first School Trip to Tatton Park. We were able to visit the mansion and explore the rooms that were decorated to fit the theme of 'The Twelve Days of Christmas'. The song was even played throughout the mansion whilst we hunted for the hidden reindeer in each room. With our eagle eyes, we found all of them. We also went to the Farm and saw lots of animals including pigs, rams, horses and we even got to meet some of Father Christmas' reindeer! Whilst at the Farm we also went into the cottage where we sat around the fire and listened to the story 'T'was the Night Before Christmas'. We were told that this story was the favourite of a little girl who used to live in the cottage during the war. Her presents were very different to the ones we wish for today! We rounded off our School Trip with a visit from a very special person - Father Christmas and because we had all been so good, we even received a little present from him. It was a fantastic day and even the weather was kind!

Today we celebrated United Nations Day. In Reception we found out lots of information about France. During the day we took part in a variety of fun and exciting activities linked with this country. We made an Eiffel Tower hat and a French flag to wave. Later on, we had our very own french food tasting banquet, consisting of french bread, brie, pain au chocolat and brioche. It was delicious! We also took part in a parade with the nursery children to show what we had made. It was a 'French-tastic' day!
