The children were surprised to realise that they had robots in their lives and houses already! @HelpPicture

Thank you @HelpPicture for your wonderful vocabulary word list. It really helps us to describe how the question of the week makes us feel.

It’s our @HelpPicture 1 year anniversary! These have been our favourite themes this year! We love using Picture News 😊

[Shelf J&I School @j_shelf]

Some children initially said they weren’t bothered because they wear trousers anyway, but one boy was quick to share that he felt worried about how some of the girls may feel if they couldn’t wear their skirts. 

So proud of our empathetic pupils at Shelf School!

[Shelf J&I School @j_shelf]

We shared this week’s Picture News in classes so we could really debate this week’s issue. The children really enjoyed the debate. One child in KS1 said ‘that she wouldn’t like to have to wear trousers as they are uncomfortable’. @HelpPicture

The whole school will be watching tomorrow morning as part of our ‘Children’s Mental Health Week’ work. @HelpPicture

@HelpPicture We are so proud to be accepted as a Picture News Ambassador. Can’t wait to share how we use this great resource at @j_shelf

Today we had the pleasure in taking part in the orienteering event at Old Brodleians. The sun was shining and the children had a great time. Even in this heat they managed to come runners up.

This week at Shelf we held an KS2 inter-house orienteering competition. Everyone got involved and had a fun filled afternoon, an added bonus was the beautiful weather. Thanks to Callum #schoolgamesorganiser
We are already looking forward to the next inter-house competition

On Friday our year 5&6 entered a dodgeball tournament. They worked as a team and played really well. We made it to the final, it was very a very close final but we finished as winners. We had a fabulous afternoon and to come away with a trophy too!
