  Year 4 experienced an emotional awareness workshop on Tuesday 8^th March, which gave the children a better knowledge and understanding of emotional regulation. It was acknowledged that we all have feelings, which can sometimes be big or small depending on different situations.

The children were very engaged and asked thoughtful questions throughout the session.

   

• World Book Day

  Tue 08 Mar 2022

  On Thursday 3^rd March, children across the school celebrated World Book Day by dressing up as their favourite book characters. We had some fantastic costumes, ranging from fairy tale characters to those from manga graphic novels. Throughout the day, children took part in live online workshops with famous authors and illustrators, which gave children an insight into the hard work that goes into their jobs as well as giving them the chance to write about (or draw) their own characters. Everybody had a great day and it was lovely to see the effort that went into their costumes – thank you for your support.

  

• Year 3 Workshop

  Tue 08 Mar 2022

  Some of our Year 3 children took part in a workshop on Wednesday 2^nd March, where they discussed different moods and why people may feel sad or unhappy. The children participated in an activity to help them understand the difference between thoughts and feelings and were given suggestions about how to change sad thoughts into more positive thoughts or to do something that makes them feel happy. They were also encouraged to think about who they could speak to if they feel sad or are experiencing a low mood.

• Covid

  We have had less cases in the week starting 24^th January, but we are still keeping our year groups apart to prevent any further spread of Covid. We would encourage you to test your children twice each week, unless there has been a case in their year group, when we would ask you to test them daily for the next 7 days.

• Mental Health Awareness in Year 4

  Tue 01 Feb 2022

  On Tuesday 25^th January, Year 4 were involved in a Mental Health Awareness workshop, in which they learned the difference between mental health and physical health. They focused on the importance of looking after their mental health, as much as their physical health. The class discussed different types of worries- big or small worries and talked about their five trusted people to speak to about those worries with e.g. friends, family or teachers. The children learned strategies to help them manage anxiety, such as the method to control their breathing whilst sketching around their hand. The class also shared other ways of calming themselves down, like colouring, drawing or exercise.  Year 4, were also reminded of the importance of sleep and healthy eating on their mental health, learning that sleep is key in helping the body to recover. Year 4, were engaged in the session and had a lovely afternoon, whilst prompting them to highlight the importance of talking about worries.

• Scratch in Year 6

  On Wednesday 19^th January, the children in Year 6 were visited by two Warwick University students. The students delivered a computing session in which they taught the children how to code a game using a programming tool called Scratch. By the end of the session, the children had made their own version of the classic game Pong. All of Year 6 really enjoyed the session and many said they would consider a career in computer programming in the future!
