Easter Celebrations 🐣
Congratulations and well done to all the children who particpated in the Easter Bonnet and Easter Egg decorating competition. It's always enjoyable to watch the creativity of our children flourish.
WORLD BOOK DAY 📖
We really enjoyed World Book Day. Coming to school in pyjamas is always a good day. The best part of the day was, Stop, Drop and Read. When the bell rang, no matter what we were doing or learning we had to simply stop drop and read. Even our youngest children in school took part demonstrating regardless of you reading age and level sharing a story together is always enjoyable.

The children have been working with the With Me in Mind team as part of Children's mental health week.
Our mental health ambassadors set up workshop activities to support having positive mental health and wellbeing.
They got lots of children in school to join in activities, thinking about emotions and how we can handle these. They used the Inside Out 2 characters to help to discuss emotions and completed arts and crafts activities and games.
PE

It's important to ensure all our children have the opportunity to shine. Opportunites linked to Physical Education often give many of our children this opportunity.
Y3 and Y4 represented Rotherham at the English Institute of Sports. They tried a range of inclusive sport activities and were so resilient.
Y5 and Y6 represented school as part of the Let Girls Play initiative. They learnt rugby skills as part of school sports games.
Y3 girls took part in the Let Girls Play initiative and were invited to Wath Academy to develop their football skills. The children worked really hard on developing team work skills, along side children from other schools.

This term our Year 4 children took part in swimming lessons.
This was a bg achievement for many of our children some of which had limited experience of going swimming and managing so many independent skills on their own.
We have seen huge progress for all our children not only in their swimming skills, but also in their confidence.

Ways to Support
Ways to Support
Here are some links and resources to help support children with SEND/SEMH.
Useful Links
The Worry Tree App- Worry Tree helps you to take control of your worries, transform your thoughts and feel better using CBT techniques and sensory practices.
Chill Panda - Something new I have found to support anxiety, worries, and calming strategies. May be a good one to support some of the children to develop strategies. Available on GooglePlay and AppStore.
Worry Monsters - these are recommended by psychologists and teachers to act as a 'waste bin' for fears, troubles and woes that children don't always talk about
