Birch class have had lots of interesting discussions about what mental health is and how to look after our own mental health. We thought about and drew the things and places that make us happy. On Wednesday, we had great fun with team games and problem solving in the hall thanks to Mrs Hyde.
Primrose class have done lots this week.
We made our valentines cards for someone special with “I love you BERRY much!” inside.
To support mental health week, we had non uniform day and did our “My special People” activity sheet.
For the end of the topic “Goldilocks and the three bears” we made our invitations and had our very own teddy bears picnic.
In owl class we have been thinking about different activities that we can do to make us feel better.
Yesterday year 4 Ash really enjoyed their PE lesson. We did some activities to link in to Children’s Mental Health Week, the children worked really well on building some team building strategies.
This week the children in Hedgehog class have been doing lots of different activities linked to mental health week. We have thought about things, people and places that make us happy and created some artwork linked to this too.
Today in Science, Fox Class explored how different movements use different muscles in our bodies. We discovered that every action — from stretching and jumping to twisting and bending — works specific muscle groups in different ways.
To put our learning into action, we were set an exciting challenge! Our important mission was to create a special dance for Investigator Terri to perform while inside the time machine. We carefully planned our moves to make sure we used a variety of muscles.
What a fun and active way to learn — fantastic work, Fox Class!
Day 3 – Children’s Mental Health Week
Today we celebrated Day 3 of Children’s Mental Health Week with a special non-uniform day. Everyone came to school wearing something that makes them feel happy and comfortable — some children even chose to wear their pyjamas!
Thanks to everyone’s support, we raised a fantastic amount of money for this important cause. During the day, we explored some thoughtful maps created by children, showing the people, places and things that help them feel safe and happy. Inspired by these, we designed our own wellbeing maps and did an amazing job.
Well done, Fox Class — you should be very proud of your hard work!
Squirrel class made some beautiful pieces of art based on paintings by the artist Jim Dine.
They designed hearts using pastels and thought about places and people they love and how these places and people make us feel.
Today, Fox Class took part in Safer Internet Day, focusing on how we can use technology — including artificial intelligence (AI) — in a safe and responsible way.
We talked together about what AI is and where we might see it in our everyday lives. The children shared thoughtful ideas about how technology can be helpful, as well as why it’s important to make safe and smart choices when using it. We discussed key messages such as asking a trusted adult for help, being careful about what we share online, and remembering that not everything we see or read online is always true.
To finish our learning, the children created their own posters shaped like smartphones, sharing their very own “smart rules” for safe use of AI and the internet. These posters showed fantastic understanding and creativity, and highlighted how confident and responsible Fox Class are becoming as digital learners.
Well done, Fox Class, for such sensible discussions and brilliant work on Safer Internet Day! 🌐📱✨
Day 1
We began Children’s Mental Health Week by reading the story Ruby’s Worries. This thoughtful book helped us explore some important questions together: What is a worry? Are worries the same for everyone? Where do they come from?
The children took time to really think about their answers and showed wonderful listening skills, respect, and care for each other’s ideas and opinions. It was lovely to see such open and thoughtful discussions taking place.
Day 2
On Day 2, we shared the book Our Class is a Family. With its heartfelt message and colourful, whimsical illustrations, the story helped us think about what makes our classroom a safe and happy place. We talked about how our class is somewhere we can be ourselves, make mistakes, and support one another as friends.
After some circle time, the children created their own posters showing “This is my place”, celebrating their sense of belonging within Fox Class.
