Year 1 and 2’s Visitor On Thursday 10th of October, Mental

World Health Day, Year 1 and 2 had a

visit from Nurse Suzy. She spoke to us

about keeping our bodies healthy and

also about what the parts of the body

do.

She was very impressed by the

knowledge we have gained this term

about the body

during our topic

'Heads,

Shoulders, Knees

and Toes'. She

showed us a gown

that a patient

would wear in

hospital. We also

had a go at

bandaging each

others arms.

Thank you for

visiting us!

Year 3 and 4 Terrible Tudors Trip

On Friday 4th October, we went on a school trip to a theatre and watched a show about

the Tudors, it was very good.

First, we got into our seats and watched a shadow of an axe go across a big screen. When

it started three people said that we were going to learn about the Tudors but in a fun

way. We all got ready for some fun.

Some stuff was scary, the most scary was

when the picture of Mary Queen of Scots

painting came out of the wall and her face

turned into a skeleton there was also a song

about King Henry the eighth and a frying pan

and food. After that, we had lunch and then

went back to school on a coach.

Write up by Jack C, Year 4

Reception In Reception, we read the story of ‘The

Mood Hoover’ and

we talked about our

different feelings.

We then used

different materials

to create feeling

faces to help us

think about how we

should be feeling.

Year 1 and 2 In Year 1 and 2, after the assembly about

Mental Health day, we read the story ‘This

is our House’ by Micheal Rosen.

We discussed how the characters in story

were feeling because of the actions of

others. Then we discussed respect and if

we showed other people respect then they

would not be made to feel this way.

Year 5 and 6 In assembly, we talked about what happens

when feelings of sadness, anxiety and

anger get too big. The children came up

with ideas to help when someone is finding

things too hard. They came up with lots of

ideas including exercise, talking to

someone, eating healthily, mindful

breathing, reading a book, thinking of a

happy place. The peer mediators and

playground pals stood up to remind the

children they can help when needed.

In Year 5 and 6, we watched a really

interesting film made by other Year 6

children about sharing our worries when

they get too big: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oz1S66_pYTw

Year 3 and 4 On World Mental Health Day, the year 3

and 4 class read a poem together called

“Healthy inside and out with Unique the

Unicorn”. The poem is about two best

friends, Unique the Unicorn and Rarity

the rabbit, who enjoy spending lots of

time together.

In the poem however, Rarity is feeling a

little down so she turns to her best

friend for some help. Unique offered lots

of advice to Rarity as to how she can look

after herself better.

At the end of the day, the class were

asked to think about how they can both

help themselves and others to make

everyone’s lives happier. The

children wrote their thoughts on

‘Helpful Hearts’ to help them

remember how important it is to

take care of ourselves and those

around us.

World Mental Health Day 2019

Nursery News

This week in Nursery, our story has been ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’. We will be looking at

this story over the next two weeks and we will be working with the children to see if they

can recall, act out and order events of the story.

During circle time, we have been looking at our colour of the week and talking about what

objects are green. Emily said “peas” and Jack said “grass.” The children have also been

learning facts about polar bears, such as; their habitat, the colour of their fur, and their

diet.

The children used cotton wool, pva glue and white paint fingerprints to create their own

polar bear art work.

In messy play, we explored with shaving foam with wooden shape blocks, using the shaving

foam to stick the blocks together like bricks. We also had pasta out in the tough spot with

diggers and cars, and rainbow rice with puzzle pieces hidden inside.

Reminders

Please can we remind all parents that it is 48 hours before your children can return to

Nursery after having sickness or diarrhoea.

What we are working on next week

Thank you for all of your support,

Nursery team
