  Reception find their way:        

  On Thursday 13^th October, Reception were set a challenge using the skills they have been learning in class. They needed to find hidden clues to write a shopping list, using their phonics sounds. They were given a simple map of the school site and had to navigate their way to find the clues. Each clue had a picture of an ingredient and the phonics sound to help them with their writing. The children all wrote their own shopping list of the ingredients that they needed to make cakes in school on Friday. They had so much fun and learned a lot about map work, whilst practising their writing. They can’t wait to make and eat their cakes!

   

  School Council:

  Our school councillors met on Thursday 13^th October and now have a lot to discuss with their classes. This term, they are considering how to encourage healthy snacks at playtime, how to incorporate more kindness, especially during anti-bullying week, how to work more closely with our neighbouring school, Castle Wood and how to follow and celebrate the football World Cup. Watch this space for more information!

• Year 4 Workshop

  Fri 07 Oct 2022

  On Tuesday 27^th September, our Year 4 children, participated in a mental health awareness workshop. This included giving the children strategies to help self-regulate their emotions. The children talked and learned about the fact that we don't always have control over our emotions and that's ok, however we are able to calm and self soothe. ourselves They learned strategies to improve and keep a healthy mind set by learning new things, acknowledging, and thanking others for helping us and going for walks or completing activities which keep us happy and positive. The children were very engaged and were keen to take the self-regulation sheet home to complete and keep as a help sheet.
