What a brilliant week we have had celebrating Children’s Mental Health Week. Every day we have explored different activities and talked about feelings, especially about recognising different feelings and things we can do when we feel a certain way.
We have encouraged and supported good deeds and developed deeper friendships. As always we’ve been delighted that James has been able to join us via Zoom.
On Monday we tried mindfulness.
On Tuesday we made badges to give to the special people in our lives. We also spent the afternoon in the Yurt where we played games together and ate the gorgeous banana cake we made in Food Technology.
On Wednesday we made Sensory Bottles.
On Thursday we introduced “Keep the Beat on the Cheap” a programme of activities which uses household objects to develop a sense of beat and promotes personal, social and emotional development. It was great that James could join us and Chester his dog was also involved.
And on Friday the children came to school in any outfit they wanted as part of “Dress to Express” day. We ended the week with a special visitor for the afternoon.
Phew, what a busy week and we loved every minute. We all really needed a feel good week.
We hope you have a good week end. Last week next week promises to be just as busy.
Year 3 Team.
