Yesterday we we did some role in PSHCE. We looked at different scenarios that might happen in school and role played how we would solve them. Apparently Miss Woodward’s acting is not very good according to the Robin’s class, she’s too dramatic!

On Friday, Robins and Starlings gathered together to read their letter that they had done in reply to the crayons. We had some fantastic letters from each class and it was really enjoyable to hear what Starlings had been up to.

We were talking about being a good friend in PSHE today when Mrs Lenagan asked us to squeeze out toothpaste…and then put it back in! We explained that we can’t do that and then compared this to unkind words said to other people. Just like the toothpaste, the words that we say, once out are irreversible to take back.

In Kindness Week, we talked about how we can be a kinder friend. We talked through scenarios and what the best response would be. We also made a friendship web. This involved saying nice things about others in class. We enjoyed reading Kindness in cooler, Mrs Ruler!

On Tuesday it was Safer Internet day. In Puffin’s Class we discussed rules for staying safe online and also talked about how it is important to be able to choose what we want to like online without being judged or judging others. We created profiles practicing our Safer internet rules. This included not using our full names.

This week we have been learning all about Mental Health under the theme of Find your Brave. We have listened to The Lion Inside story and talked about when we have been brave and how we felt before and after. We have also raised the profile of this by wearing our jumpers inside out…because inside matters too! The children have identified a trusted adult who could help them find their brave because being brave doesn’t mean that you have to do things all alone!

Outdoor counting in 2s, 5s and 10s.
The children had a great time grouping pebbles, conkers and drawing around fingers and feet to count up in 2s, 5s and 10s. The children were then challenged to cover up the number in the sequence and their partner had to work out which number was missing.
