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.

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.

Star Breathing

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!

3T W/B 5th Feb

Dear Parents/Guardians of 3T,

I would just like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your support since the children started at NJS in September. They have all made a brilliant start to their time here and I have truly enjoyed teaching them. I am confident that they will enjoy having Mrs Pearson and Mrs Wheat too.

As you will be aware, next week is very busy so please see events below:

Monday: Swimming

Tuesday: Safer internet day. PE. The class in the afternoon will have chance to spend time with Mrs Pearson.

Wednesday: Beech’s Base in the afternoon so as always please send your child in outdoor clothing suitable for the forest. Please ensure the children have suitable footwear (ideally wellies).

Thursday: Wax work museum day. The class will also have chance to spend time with Mrs Wheat after lunch before the wax work museum.

Friday: Please have PE kits in school as I intend to do some extra PE with the class. Break for half-term.

Thanks,

Mr Tipton 🙂

Class 3B Important Messages and Dates

Dear Parents and Carers,

Last week, 3B won our in-school competition for registering on time, called ‘Beat-the-Bell’. As a reward, (children in 3B only) can wear MUFTI this Friday (2nd February) – well done everyone!

On Tuesday 6th February, children in 3B will have Beech’s Base in the afternoon, and can come dressed in their Beech’s Base clothing, appropriate for the weather. Please send them in with boots in a bag, and waterproof, warm clothing. They MUST have a change of footwear for the morning session.

Finally, if you have already provided your child with a card backdrop for their Waxwork Museum display work, thank you very much – some of these look amazing already. Children are really excited to show you what they have done in class to add to these. We would be really grateful to those who haven’t if they could find something for their children to present their work on – any large cardboard / large cardboard box to deconstruct will do!

Thank you all for helping with this,

Kind regards,

Mr Butler

Class 3B PE kit needed tomorrow (Thursday 1st February)

Dear Parents and Carers,

Just a quick reminder that PE kits are required on Monday, to be left in school and taken home on Friday. Thank you to all those children who did have their kits today!

Today, five children did not have PE kits in school, which creates a supervision issue,  and also deprives those children of learning new skills / knowledge.

For tomorrow, children will need their PE kit for an extra lesson, with Mr Humphries. Please ensure they have their kit, and are prepared for indoor OR outdoor PE, bearing in mind it is cold outside! (bring joggers and sweatshirt as well, just in case).

Thank you for your continued support,

Mr Butler
