February Half Term

Fri 17 Feb 2023

Thank you for your generosity with our non-uniform day for the NSPCC today.

So far we have raised over £270. Donations can still be made on your ParentPay account.

The children have all taken part in a Speak Out Stay Safe assembly in class today.

If you want any further information please see their website:

We return to school on Monday 27th February.

Please note - *School will be open on Wednesday 1st March.*

The focus for Children's Mental Health Week this year has been 'Let's Connect'. The aim has been to look at making meaningful connections with others and how this connection is vital for our wellbeing.

Within school our 'Heart Smart' lessons this week have followed this theme and the children have taken part in various activities to enable them to connect with and think of others.

Some examples of the activities the children have taken part in are:

Year 1 and Reception have shared an afternoon together getting to know each other.

Year 2 have made paperchains to help them think about what makes them feel connected to people and the things they care about.

Year 3 have decorated puzzle pieces to connect together and make a whole picture.
