Odd Socks Day 13.11.23
Tue 14 Nov 2023Many of our children and staff wore odd socks today to signal the start of Anti-Bullying Week. We started the week by wearing odd socks and participating in an Anti-Bullying Assembly. By wearing odd socks, we are saying that it is ok to be different and that we stand up against discrimination and bullying.
During the assembly we discussed:
- A definition of bullying
- What to do if you are being bullied
- What to do if you witness bullying
- Who to report bullying to
- Why we should make a noise about bullying
- Why it is important to keep everyone safe
Some great colourful socks!

International Day
Thu 29 Jun 2023On Thursday 29th June we celebrated the Mass of St. Peter & Paul with Fr. Danny.
We also celebrated the diversity of our school community by holding an International Day to acknowledge and recognise the many different nationalities we have at St Margaret Clitherow.
Children were invited to come wearing their country's national dress or items that represented their country/culture. Many of the children also brought in food to share with their class mates.
Many of the children thought that it is important to celebrate our diversity to ensure that all feel welcome and included in our community.
The children stated:
It was good to try new foods – Rafi Yr5
We got to show our cultures and beliefs – Josh Yr5
Fun to try food from different nationalities – Maria Yr6
I enjoyed wearing clothes from my own culture – it made me feel proud – Nisa Yr6
It was fun to see the national dress of other countries - Ansh Yr6
We enjoyed learning about the countries that other children are from e.g. how far away they are, what they do etc. – Logan & Isabelle Yr6

Charlie Bear came to visit us too whilst we had our special picnic. The children all have a special bookmark to commemorate this occasion in school, which they will bring home tonight.
