🚒🔥 Cleveland Fire Brigade Visit – Bonfire Night Safety 🎆
Yesterday, we welcomed Cleveland Fire Brigade into the academy to teach our children all about staying safe this Bonfire Night.
Children in Reception and KS1 enjoyed their own assembly, followed by a separate ...session for our KS2 pupils. Both assemblies were packed with interesting facts about the fire service and important advice about keeping ourselves and others safe.
The children learnt some valuable safety tips, including:
🔥 Only adults should light bonfires.
🔥 Only wood should be burnt on a bonfire.
🔥 Bonfires must be carefully managed to prevent fires from spreading.
🦔 Always check for hedgehogs and other small creatures before lighting a bonfire.
🎆 Never return to a firework once it has been lit.
✨ Sparklers must be handled with care. Did you know that a sparkler can reach temperatures around 20 times hotter than boiling water?
Our children also made a very important promise to become Mini Fire Wardens, helping to share their new knowledge and remind their families how to stay safe during Bonfire Night celebrations.
A huge thank you to Cleveland Fire Brigade for visiting us and sharing such important safety messages.
🎇 Enjoy Bonfire Night, everyone, and remember to stay safe.

🌿📚 Little Adventures, Big Learning! 💜
From zooming down the slide to sharing stories in our cosy outdoor reading area, our 2-year-olds love making the most of their outdoor learning.
We especially love those little moments when a story sparks a conversation, a familiar ...song or a lovely interaction with a trusted adult. 🥰
These everyday experiences are so important for developing children's communication, language, confidence and love of learning.
So much more than just play. 💜🐾

Weigh, Stay and Play – a little time to play, explore and connect!
Our Weigh, Stay and Play sessions are proving really popular, and it’s lovely to see so many families joining us!
Our last session had a Pumpkin Patch theme, with lots of autumnal fun in our tuff tray for our... little explorers to enjoy! 🧡
These relaxed sessions are a lovely opportunity for children aged 0–5 to play and explore, while parents and carers can meet other families and chat with a member of our Early Years team. Our health visitor is also available to weigh little ones and answer any questions, if you wish. 💕
Everyone is welcome, and there’s no pressure – just come along, enjoy some playtime and have a chat! ✨
Our next session is Tuesday 3rd November, and the theme is Little Sparklers! 🎇
We’d love to see you there! 💛
