Mental Health Awareness Week – Faye and Logan

Well done to Faye and Logan for doing some super activities to look after their mental wellbeing. They have enjoyed lots of mental health awareness activities whilst listening to the birds and rain outside. They also did feelings jenga, feelings word searches, emoji throwing and strengths bingo. What great ideas!

 

Yr 5 Swimming at Newport Town Pool

Usually at this time of year we have our swimming galas. Being not fully aware of children’s swimming abilities and with many children having missed traditional swimming lessons, we will not be holding our traditional galas. However, we will still be taking the children along for an extra swimming session.

We will be taking the children in house team groups with their swimming kits on:

Monday 17th – Yr 5 Red and Blue house children

Monday 24th – Yr 5 Yellow and Green house children

The children will be back at NJS for Norma collection times.

Yr 5 will be still swimming on Thursday 20th and 27th at NJS.

50 Years of Mr Men/Little Miss Week 24th-28th May

As part of our exciting Mr Men/Little Miss week the children will be creating their own book versions and characters. To do this we will need to look at different versions of the stories/characters. As a school, and from our own personal supplies, we have a few copies but not enough for the year group. If you have ANY of the Mr Men or Little Miss series of books please could you label them up and send them into school for one of the three Yr 5 class teachers, as they will all be used.

Please also note that on Friday 28th May it is our Dress Up day as a Mr Men/Little Miss character – this can be as a character they are designing and writing about themselves that week, OR as a well known character from one of the Roger Hargreaves stories.

If they are dressing as their own character then they may need to complete some designing/writing with you beforehand. You may wish to talk to your child about the features and attributes of all Mr Men/Little Miss character.

Thank you for your continued support
