On Tuesday it was Mental Health Day we had a lovely day filled with lots of different activities.
We discussed the importance of looking after our minds and bodies, by finding out how we can stay healthy and we helped Rodd learn about getting enough sleep if we don’t, we can become forgetful and it can affect our mood.
First we drew something that made us happy, something we were good at and something we enjoyed. Then we loved our yoga session with Little Yogis. We read Ruby’s worries and created our own, thinking about things that made us feel worried and what we can do to help us feel better.
We thought of things we were grateful for, said what had gone well for us on Tuesday. Went on a mindfulness walk around the playground with a partner, where we had a chat and discussed our surroundings. We made collage rainbows to remind us to stay calm and take a deep breath, drew our happy place, created and coloured in our own colour monster, made feeling faces with playdough and on the computers, listened to music, danced before lunch. Worked together to pass a spoon with water on to each other and finally at home time listened to ‘be the pond’ the fish are our feelings if we remember to be the pond and not the fish they can swim away. The children were told their secret friend, they made sure they were extra kind and we guessed who they were today.
The second group finally went on our Geography school trip, we had to look for human and physical features around St Annes, and they were brilliant. We even enjoyed a few games on the beach before coming back to school.
We have been busy in Maths and English continuing our more than, equal to and less than symbols and we started to look at what whole meant ready for next week. We have also started to partition numbers up to 7 practically and writing our answers down in a part part whole model. We made up our own actions to retell ‘Where the Wild things are’ and wrote the begining of the story. We also started to mark and edit our own work! Focusing on full stops, finger spaces and capital letters, we did this in pairs and decided if we had met the objectives and what our next steps would be when we finish our story next week.
We loved sharing our Purple Mash homework in class and have enjoyed our computing lessons, please practise logging on and off independently as much as possible so we can spend more time on our lesson and learn new skills.
