It really has made a difference to local people. #SchoolCouncil #Community #PSHCE

Here is Year 3 taking part in meditation and yoga for Mental Health Day. #Year3 #PSHCE

This morning, in 4B, we read a book called 'Scrambled Heads'. We discussed how we feel today, what mental health is and how we can help ourselves or others if our thoughts and feelings are negative. This afternoon, we also took part in a LIVE lesson with BBC which discussed all about growth mindset and mental well-being. We took part in activities and had an afternoon of mindfulness. We hope to see these fabulous, smiling faces as much as possible. TOGETHER WE ARE STRONGER! :

In 4B, three children have done a fantastic job at presenting why they should be School Councillors. 4B described their presentations as: Great because they said what they would improve about the school. Amazing because they all did their best. Surprised but in a good way because they all did REALLY well! We loved how the presentations were all different. We are proud of them all. The votes will be counted and the results will be announced in assembly tomorrow. #English #PSHC
