Yr 6 Wax Work

Just a reminder that tomorrow is our Wax Work Day.

Yr 6 children have been told they can come to school in their costume, and bring along any accessories or props with them in a bag.

Children have had lots of time in lesson this week to finish their biographies and are very excited to show their work off tomorrow afternoon.

Please see the original website post from Mrs Moody for more information on the structure of the day.

See you tomorrow.

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!
