Living and Learning – Mental Health
We have been talking about emotions this week and how they can affect how we feel, think and behave. We watched this video and talked about how we can help ourselves and each other with small emotions, and which trusted adults we might ask for help with big emotions.
We also listened to four different pieces of music and talked about how they made us feel, what colours they made us think of and what shapes they created in our minds.
Year 2 SATs and Year 1 Phonics Screen
There are statutory tests approaching for both Year 1 and Year 2 children.
A letter has been sent home this week explaining the Phonics Screening Check. Help at home by reading with or to your child every day if you can (even if it is only for a few minutes).
The Year 2 children will also be taking the end of Key Stage tests (SATs) during May. Help at home by ensuring they are in school every day they can be. More information can be found here.
Cricket – Chance to Shine All Stars
Today, the year 1 and 2 children enjoyed some professional cricket coaching delivered by Nick Boyes from Yorkshire Cricket. He was promoting the Chance to Shine program which aims to give KS1 children the chance to experience cricket and hopefully transition into a club environment. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it!
Golden Star
Well done to our Golden Star from this week.
Egg-cellent Easter fun
Thank you to all the parents and carers who sent decorated hard-boiled eggs and Easter-themed headwear today. We had great fun rolling our eggs and well done to the bonnet parade winners.
Living and Learning – table manners
We have talked about table manners in our Living and Learning lessons this week. The children shared lots of ideas about how to behave at mealtimes.
We have to use a knife and fork.
In my family, we ask before we can leave the table.
We wait for everyone before we start.
We watched a video about Crawford the Cat and table manners too!
Wizard of Oz
The children enjoyed the performance of the Wizard of Oz today. We will be using it to inspire some writing.
Living and Learning : Body Image
We have been learning about body image over the last few weeks in our Living and Learning lessons. We have discussed how we view ourselves and what makes us ‘us’. This also led to conversations about protected characteristics and equality.
Gold Stars
Well done to our recent golden stars!
