Headteacher’s Message 10.02.2023

We’ve had a fantastic healthy body, healthy mind week. On Monday, the lunchtime team had training in developing happy lunchtimes, looking at different activities and behaviour strategies. It was a fantastic day and after half term we will be making some changes to lunchtime activities. The safeguarding squad has delivered two assemblies about safer internet use. Thank you to everyone who has completed their parent questionnaire. They will use the results to plan future work on online safety.

Well done to everyone who has received a Headteacher’s award.  We had a lot to celebrate this week!

Today we watched a video about online games and have talked about ways in which we stay safe on the internet. The children discussed these and came up with fantastic ideas and they knew that if were unsure or something weird came onto the internet, they should ask for help.

Healthy Body, Healthy Mind Week – 8.2.23

Year 4 have been thinking about our physical and mental health this week. In English, we have written rhyming poems about ‘Hobbies for Happiness’ which were really great.  We have also thought about how staying safe online can help us to be happier. The theme for Mental Health Week this year is ‘Let’s Connect’ so we have thought about all the connections we have with our classmates. We completed Bingo cards that show our connections.  We have all enjoyed the week and hope to keep up the healthy things we have learned about.

How to ask for help – Base 3 08.02.2023

This afternoon, Base 3 have talked about how to ask for help. They have played a game where if they landed on the ‘help’ spot, they would have a scenario and they discussed what they should do. This is another activity we have done to celebrate Healthy Body, Healthy Mind week.

Fractions game – 8/2/23

Year 4 had a brilliant time working together to complete their fractions maths game today. Well done!
