Children across different year groups were fantastic as they competed in one of the Mendip Cross Country events. As well as being brilliant runners, our children had a fantastic attitude, wonderful determination too and represented our school really well.
Children loved taking on the role of the teacher during our recent learning showcase. They enjoyed showing their grown ups what they have been learning and sharing with them some new strategies and methods.
Year 2 Magpies loved their workshop from the South West Heritage Trust!
They started their day with a Toys and Games Workshop and the children learned so much about Victorian toys and games by listening, exploring and playing too! What brilliant history detectives! 
Children loved taking part in 'Dress To Express' as part of Children's Mental Health Week. Each class took part in a range of activities to promote good mental health and positive wellbeing. We also had a fantastic bake sale ran by our oldest children and members of the 'Wellbeing Action Group' to raise money towards funding a new well-being teepee. We are still waiting to find out the final total!
Children across Falcon class and Owl class have been enjoying weekly forest school sessions!

Children at St Aldhelm's have enjoyed creating a Christmas Nativity Video this year.
Last week, children took part in England Rocks 2021: an opportunity to challenge themselves with their knowledge of times table facts.
Anti-Bullying Week is coordinated in England and Wales by the Anti-Bullying Alliance and is taking place this week, the 15th to the 19th November 2021. This year, it has the theme One Kind Word. The week began with Odd Socks Day which is supported by CBBC and CBeebies star Andy Day and his band Andy and the Odd Socks. We encouraged the children to join in and highlight Odd Socks Day on the first day of Anti-Bullying Week by wearing odd socks.
On the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month, children and staff of St Aldhelm's shared an Act of Remembrance together.
On Tuesday 9th November, children from Falcons took part in the second cross-country race. The Mendip Athletics event, which takes place every month during the cross-country season, was held locally at Collett Park, Shepton Mallet.
Families of St Aldhelm's showed tremendous support for the Salvation Army in Shepton Mallet again this year. Despite not being able to go ahead with our Harvest Service in church, it was wonderful that families were still able to donate items that had been requested by the charity. It just goes to show that even though many of our families have had a challenging year themselves due to Covid, we can dig deep to continue to support others in our community.
Well done to all classes for completing the One Run Global challenge on Friday 15th October.
