The Earth Matters
The students sang, acted, involved their audience with a trivia game and informed us about the recent news happening worldwide to protect the Earth.
Well done to 4B for their excellent presentation and acts in the assembly!
Odd Socks Day
They came to school wearing odd socks to show their support for anti-bullying and had a lot of fun too! Here are some pictures from Odd Socks Day.
Astronomy Club Trip
We went to Xyliatos dam, which is situated away from the light pollution of our big city. It was the peak of the Leonid meteor shower and although there were patches of cloud, we had the opportunity to see some shooting stars. We also observed the ring nebula, the andromeda galaxy, star clusters, binary stars and planets with our telescopes too!!!
It was pretty cold up there at night, but we will be going again soon, it was amazing!
Reach out
It doesn’t stop with young people. From teachers to parents and influencers to politicians, we all have a part to play. Reach out to someone you trust if you need to talk. Reach out to someone if you know they’re being bullied. Reach out by being the change you want to see.
It takes courage, but it can change lives.
Let’s come together and REACH OUT to stop bullying…
By Year 4 and 5 students 2022-2023.
Many thanks to Sky Drone Cyprus and Komis Komninos photography.
Year 1 Anti-Bullying Initiatives
November is Anti-bullying month at our school and in Year 1 we focused on the following prevention strategies:
- Assembly on the theme ‘Reach out’ – This year’s theme is geared towards promoting a respectful ethos and treating each other with kindness.
- Assembly on understanding the definition of bullying, the impact on children, and the roles involved – we spoke about the negative effects it can have on one’s mental health and the roles we each play, or could play, in bullying (bully, target, assistant, reinforcer, defender, and bystander).
- Odd Socks Day – Often children are bullied due to perceived differences, because they ‘stand out’ more than other children. While coming to school wearing our odd socks, we celebrated what makes us all unique to help prevent this happening!
- Motivational quotes – Our students researched motivational quotes relating to bullying, remembering the theme ‘Reach Out’. Then, they chose one that means the most to them and created posters displayed at Lloyd’s building.
- Thank you cards – finally, we created thank you cards for peers, teachers and family members to show our gratitude to all those who made a big difference to our day with one small, kind action.
