CHILDREN’S MENTAL HEALTH WEEK!
Good morning everyone,
I hope that you have found the resources shared this week helpful. Tomorrow, the children will all be completing some tasks within the classroom. Look out for any posts about this from the teachers!
I am going to leave this final resource in the hope that it helps! Positive affirmations are a fantastic tool to support children with a variety of emotions. They help children think positively which can support a change in mindset.
Take care,
Mrs Ollerenshaw
Staffing
As we reach the end of this half term I would like to thank Mr Tipton for all he has done at NJS whilst covering maternity leave. He has worked closely with many of our current Year 4 children and of course 3T and I know they are all grateful for all he has done. We send Mr Tipton our best wishes for the future.
We are also grateful to Miss Parker who has been teaching in 6K this half term and thank her for all she has done for NJS. Mrs Kerr will return to school following the half term break.
We also welcome back to school Mrs Pearson and Mrs Wheat after half term following their maternity leave. We are very much looking forward to having them back. Mrs Pearson and Mrs Wheat will share 3T (3PW from after half term) with Mrs Pearson working Monday to Wednesday and Mrs Wheat Wednesday to Friday.
Thank you to our school family for all of the support you give to our school staff.

We had an amazing time at the T&W Indoor Cricket tournament today. We were the only school to enter two sides and we competed well during the tournament.
CHILDREN’S MENTAL HEALTH WEEK!
Good morning everyone,
Today, I am going to share some fantastic techniques to support children when needed. The first is a breathing technique and helps children focus to support feeling calm.
Another technique I would suggest is the 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 grounding method. This is great for helping children stop and focus on what is around them. This is really useful if children feel overwhelmed and can support helping them to stay calm.
5 4 3 2 1 – Grounding Mindfulness technique
I hope that you find these useful!
