What a busy, busy day... Fishbourne Primary has been a hive of activity! Our teachers have spent the day moderating children's writing, our LSA's have spent the day saving lives, our amazing FOFS team has spent the day delivering wood chips, Mrs Whitaker has changed up the library and Mrs Day has been planning CREW sessions for after half term!
Each and every one of the team has been setting out to make the world a better place to be! It was wonderful to welcome so many of our Sea Horses families to join a Valentines themed stay and play this afternoon! Today we welcomed Nick from Papaya to come and work with our little fish in year groups 4, 5 and 6.
Workshops were informative and interactive, finishing with each of us making a personal pledge about our own relationships with screens. Do chat to your children about what they learned and how they may feel differently about their screens.
Plans are coming together for Nick to come back and lead a workshop for parents too so do look out for information about this in the coming weeks!
