🧣💛 Scarves on for SCARF! 💛🧣
Today we wore our scarves to kick off Children’s Mental Health Week, linking to our PSHE programme, SCARF.
We also took part in a live assembly all about belonging, which is the theme for this year. The children had some really thoughtful discussions about feeling included, valued and supported, and how we can help everyone feel that they belong 💬🌈
A lovely way to start an important week focused on wellbeing and kindness.
🌟 What a fantastic morning! 🌟
Our Year 1 children had a wonderful time at the Multiskills Festival at Stourport Dome this morning. They took part in lots of fun games and activities, showing brilliant teamwork, enthusiasm and smiles all round!
We’re so proud of how well they represented our school.
Year 2 have been creating their own dance inspired by Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers 📖✨
They have been working on an 8-count focusing on building and repairing the boat, using movement to show teamwork, effort and care 🚤💛
A lovely mix of storytelling, creativity and dance!
Today, Miss Branagh spent some time teaching the Primary SCITT students about maths, with a little help from Bear 🐶📐✨
Bear was very supportive… right up until he decided it was nap time and got bored of maths 💤😄
Even teaching assistants need a rest! 💛
🐶💼 Bear is back at work! 💼🐶
After 4 weeks off, our favourite furry colleague has returned and everyone is very happy to see him… but not as happy as Bear himself 🥰
There have already been lots of smiles, cuddles and tail wags today.
Bear will also be having his official return-to-work interview with Mrs Bartlett later — got to keep things professional 😉🐾
We’re so glad to have you back, Bear 💛
