I’ve shared the slides from the session this morning with our parents and carers for those who were unable to attend, so everyone can access the helpful information and support at home.
The next scheduled coffee morning are;
9th June- 9am – Internet Safety
7th July -2.30pm – Mental Health Awareness focus on year 6 transition to high school
This morning, we hosted a coffee morning where we welcomed parents and carers into school for a workshop on children’s mental health, delivered by Healthy Schools. The session gave families an insight into understanding children’s mental health, recognising early signs of difficulty and learning ways to support a child who may be struggling. It also highlighted the importance of looking after their own wellbeing as parents and carers.
In PSHE this week, Year 3 learned how to manage risk and keep themselves safe. They explored the difference between positive and negative risks, sorted situations into high and low risk and discussed who they can talk to if they feel unsafe. The children showed great understanding and are growing in confidence when making safe choices.
During our PSHE lesson, Year 1 explored the importance of staying safe both at school and in the wider community. Working in teams, the children examined a range of pictures and discussed the rules they should follow in different situations. They also identified trusted adults and people who can help them in various settings, developing their understanding of how to keep themselves safe and who to turn to if they need support.
This week the children have enjoyed taking part in Mental Health Week activities. They came to school wearing clothes that represent ‘My Place’ this years theme. The children enjoyed taking part in artwork and calm activities where they shared what and where makes them feel safe, happy and have a sense of belonging.
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.
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.
Friendships play a huge role in your child’s wellbeing, confidence, and happiness—both in and out of school. As children grow, they begin to learn what it means to be a good friend and how to build relationships that help them feel safe, valued, and supported.
At school, we teach children what positive, healthy friendships look and feel like. Here are some of the key qualities we explore, along with how you can help reinforce them at home.
A healthy friendship includes:
These qualities are important both in person and online. We remind children that the same rules apply in games, messages, and any online interaction: be kind, be respectful, and keep yourself and others safe.
By talking about these principles at home, you can help your child build strong, healthy friendships that will support them as they grow.
The children made a ‘wanted poster’ with the main qualities they would like their friend to have.

Foxes Class had a fantastic time taking part in Road Safety Week. They learned all about how to stay safe when out and about and created their own eye-catching posters during their PSHE lesson to help share important safety advice with others. Well done Year 3!
Since returning to school, Foxes Class have been busy exploring Bonfire Night in English. The children enjoyed using their imagination to write their very own kenning poems, filled with creative descriptions and exciting imagery. They then designed bright and informative firework safety posters to remind everyone how to stay safe while enjoying the celebrations.
We also had fun in outdoor PE, practising our football skills and working together as a team.
