Living and learning : Mental health (recognising emotions)
We have begun a topic on mental health in our Living and Learning lessons. This week, we have talked about our feelings. Knowing that it is fine to have different emotions, that they change frequently and that they don’t last forever can help children manage their own feelings and behaviour.
Can you guess the emotions that the children were showing?
Certificate Celebration
Harry for demonstrating outstanding tactics in our team game.
Leiyah for a fantastic homework project promoting her brand new cereal.
Ella for dicussing her feelings maturely and showing gratitude to others.
School Photo Day- Wednesday 14th October
Thank you to one of our parents who has spotted that school photo day falls on a PE day!…
Please send your child to school in their school uniform not their PE Kit on Wednesday 14 October.
This will ensure we capture them looking super-smart in their first school photo 🙂
Living and Learning : Friends and family
In our Living and Learning lessons we have been talking about recognising how others are feeling. This includes spotting signs that show us that our friends are happy or sad. We watched this video about Elmer and his friends. We talked about how what we do can affect other people’s feelings. (This is a YouTube link. Top tip for watching YouTube with your child: go to the settings cog along the play bar and turn off autoplay – this avoids an inappropriate clip coming up automatically, and helps to discourage your child from passively watching clip after clip.)
Writing Instructions – How to have a happy and healthy class!
We’ve been working on writing instructions in Year 3/4 this week.
In pairs, we worked collaboratively to write a set of instructions on ‘How to have a happy and healthy class’.
To improve our sentences, we have used adverbs.
We are very proud of our writing – here are some examples:
Science – leaf classifying
Year 5 and 6 have continued to work on classification keys this week. They were looking at a range of leaves from British trees and plants and initially had to identify them. Following their discussion work, they then created their own classification keys using scientific questions, that other children could use to sort and identify leaves. The children did a great job of using their scientific vocabulary. We are now leaf experts!
