This week the children in Rowans attended a workshop which is based on the book Kitchen Disco. The children had lots of fun and absolutely loved the show.
On Tuesday, we started anti-bullying week with odd socks day. The whole school looked amazing wearing their odd socks to show how we are all different but we all still work well together.
The theme of this year’s anti-bullying week is “Choose Respect”. During our PSHE lessons, every class talked about how we could act towards each other to be respectful. All children completed work where they promised to choose respect by behaving in appropriate ways. There were some great ways to show respect, shown in the photographs below.
We’ve had a great day in school raising money for Children in Need.
School Council organised a t-shirt competition where children designed and made their own Pudsey t-shirts. Each class had a winning design and the children won a Children in Need water bottle.
School Council also arranged a cake sale. We raised over £100, which has been donated to Children in Need.
Well done everyone and thank you for your generous efforts.
In Mindfulness Club we have been exploring sensory activities, and really enjoyed playing with the water beads.
We also enjoyed ‘taking the pencil for a walk’, creating patterns and making friendship bracelets.
Mindfulness Club is every Tuesday in Acorns classroom, and is supported by Mrs Malone and Pat.
We do a range of activities to improve and develop our mindfulness skills, including yoga, playing with playdoh and fidget toys, listening to music, mindful colouring and creating things like beaded friendship bracelets.
We chat, play and have fun, and always leave with a great sense of wellbeing!
We had a visit from ‘Tides of Change’, where we learned about fire safety, toasted marshmallows and made delicious s’mores. Everyone had lots of fun!
On Friday 18th November, School Council arranged “Break the Rules Day” to raise money for Children in Need.
School Council established a list of rules which could be broken, designed a poster to be displayed around school and promoted the day across social media.
The whole school had lots of fun breaking the rules and we raised nearly £250, which was donated to Children in Need.
Here are some photographs showing the excitement around school…
From 13th – 17th November, as part of our ongoing PSHE work, we recognised “Anti-Bullying Week”.
All classes across school have completed work around the theme of “Make a Noise” to encourage children to speak up if they feel they are being bullied or know someone else who is.
Many classes looked at the definition of bullying and talked in detail about how to be a good friend.
Here is a selection of photos showing work from the week…
This week in Mindfulness Club we enjoyed using the new ‘balance snake’. We had to remove our shoes and focus on staying balanced as we walked along the snake. We had great fun but it was quite tricky!
We also did some mindful colouring, concentrated on solving wordsearches, and listened to some lovely relaxing music with beautiful underwater images.
We had some very special visitors to Mindfulness Club – Lauren’s rabbits!
Everyone was very gentle and careful when meeting them.
We hope they visit again soon, thank you Lauren!
