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!

6B art

Year 6 have been looking at the topic of ‘self portraits’ in art. This week 6B were looking at the artist Julian Opie and were trying to create their own self portrait in the style of Julian Opie. I was very impressed with their paintings. Well done!

6J Guided Reading – Making powerpoints

As part of our final lesson in Guided Reading, 6J were tasked with creating an information powerpoint explaining all about parkour/free running which was the main theme in our recent book: Jump by Ann Evans.

The children really enjoyed using the laptops to research information and learned a lot about how to present information in an appealing fashion.

Mr J was very impressed with their hard work and attitude toward this lesson! Well done 6J!
