“Children are made readers on the laps of their parents.” It was Nursery’s turn today as we invited parents into school to share story time with their child. All children went home with a reading buddy who loves bedtime stories! #stmarysradcliffeREADING @StMarysRCRad

Our KS1 children have been learning about trailblazers Bessie Coleman and Manchester’s own Louise Da-Cocodia MBE for #BlackHistoryMonth. We shared facts, reflected on injustice and wrote what we would do to stand up for equality. @StMarysRCRad #StMarysRadcliffeHistory

Today, we explored how to stay safe online and what to do if we see something that upsets us — stop, close the device and tell a trusted adult. We also read #Goldilocks to learn why we must be careful about what we share online. @StMarysRadcliffe #StMarysRadcliffeComputing

In preparation for Bonfire Night, we learnt all about firework and bonfire safety! The children created fantastic safety posters to help everyone stay safe while enjoying the celebrations. 🎆🧤 @StMarysRCRad #stmarysradcliffepshe

Class 10 just took safety to the next level! 💡 They created their own Firework Safety Rules to make celebrations fun and accident-free. 🚫🔥 Because smart students know — safety always comes before sparkle! #StMarysRadcliffePSHE @StMarysRCRad
