Discussions on Mental Health Awareness!
As you may all be aware, Monday 6th February marked the start of the Children's Mental Health Week and our students participated in a multitude of different activities centring around the importance of mental health awareness, and what role we can play as individuals in ensuring that everyone around us feels safe, secure, and happy! From changing mindsets, to exploring our feelings, our students truly immersed themselves in the importance of mental health conversations.
Our Sponsored Readathon!
Instilling the love of reading is crucial to nurturing a child's imagination, their creativity, their reading proficiency and their writing. During this half-term holiday, our PTFA is introducing a sponsored readathon where our students are challenged to read as many books/chapters as they can! So read, record your sponsors, and raise as many funds as you can! Read. Record. And Raise! And feel free to join in with the children! Happy reading everyone!
Year 5 - Trip to the British Museum!
The British Museum is home to one of the largest and most comprehensive historical archives in the world, comprising of 8 million permanent pieces, and our Year 5 students were thrilled to take a trip down to Bloomsbury to view the Ancient Greek collection stored in the museum as well as taking a look at their Islamic History exhibition! And since we've got some Ancient Egypt topics coming up in the near future, we encourage all parents to visit these fantastic Islamic History displays over the half-term!
Year 2 - Making Castles!
As a follow up from last week, our Year 2 classes have started to make castles out of completely recyclable materials such as cardboard, paper and more, and though their creations may not yet be complete, they're already beginning to look like castles fit for royalty! We cannot wait to see how their end products turn out!
