Mental Health Day

Today Class 14 have been discussing mental health and how we can help others. This afternoon we made our own positive thought jars to help others. Whenever we feel upset or down we can read the messages to help pick us up. I am so proud of class 14 for how mature and brilliant they all were throughout the lesson. #it’soknottobeok.

Forest school 🌳

Forest school for Year 5 has begun!

Last week all three crews enjoyed their first session outdoors using some of the equipment.

Just a reminder that children can come into school on a Thursday morning ready for forest school – wearing clothes suitable for outdoors. Children will need their uniform to change into after the session. Remember to bring a spare pair of shoes as it can get wet and muddy.

Fantastic Homework!

Jamie and Tyler have been busy at home with their homework and linking it to theme. Jamie has made a beautiful wand linked to Harry Potter whilst Tyler has been busy making a circuit which inflates a sandwich bag. Well done boys!

It explores their changing relationship from Lilly’s initial recognition that there is something wrong with her grandma, through the unfolding challenges and final acceptance and understanding of the disease.It explores the wider impact on family, the need for support and understanding within our communities and the importance of memories and relationships within our lives and how to keep and treasure them.The plays supports early diagnosis and shows how it is possible to live well with dementia.
