During Mental Health Week before the half term, White Eagle Class embarked on a week long journey of activities to help understand what mental health is all about and help support their overall wellbeing through projects which taught them the skills required to recognise and deal with their emotions and take on a more positive mindset altogether. This has continued through into the new spring term and upon their return, children have made their very own ‘Positive Affirmation Jars’, with the objective to help promote self-esteem by encouraging children to keep positive statements in their very own special place. The Positive Jar included positive words, affirmations and their very own personalised quotes, in which they can go back to and look at whenever they may feel low, reminding them of all the positive and wonderful things about themselves. They all made their jars extra personal by decorating them using paint, glitter, colourful wool roving’s and jazzing them up by adding accessories such as pom poms, stickers and metallic ribbons. The intention is for children to go back to it whenever necessary to remember how special and unique they are as a person.

On Wednesday 24th and Thursday 25th January the Reception and Year 1 pupils took part in Pedestrian Training delivered by the STARs team. The children were spilt into small groups and learnt about the different hazards on the roads as well as how to keep themselves safe when walking on the pavements and crossing roads, particularly busy ones. Once they had received their initial training, the children put into practice all they had learnt on the model road inside the school hall. We hope that by taking part in the Pedestrian Training, this will encourage more children to travel to school sustainably (walking, biking, scooting etc.) as they will feel more confident about travelling along our roads.

The Nursery children have returned to school after the Christmas holidays and jumped straight back into various activities. The children used the interactive whiteboards to practise writing different sounds they have learnt, engaged in sensory play using the sandpit and soft foam, and attempted various Mathematics games to develop and reinforce basic numeracy skills. They were all thrilled to return to Nursery and were ecstatic to see their friends!

To celebrate the end of the autumn term and Christmas, the school organised a French-themed Christmas market, where our school council leaders had the chance to contribute to the organisation of this extravaganza. Children from KS1 and KS2 enjoyed using the target language to purchase Christmas presents and enjoy French patisserie. The event was part of our commitment to a local charity, and we raised around £500.
