On Monday, the children came to school dressed in bright colours to raise awareness for Children's Mental Health Week. In class the children have been exploring different feelings and when they have felt this way. We have talked about who can help us when we are feeling sad or angry. 

Last week, the children in Year 1 met author, Laura-Joy Newman. They listened to her read her story 'The Worry-o-saur' and asked her some questions. Some children bought a signed copy of her book. 

For the start of our learning on traditional tales, the children enjoyed reading different tales with their learning partner. They helped each other identify features of the tales. 

The children have settled back well after the holidays. They have enjoyed playing in our florist role play area, where they have been placing orders and making bouquets using pipe cleaners, tissue paper and ribbon. 

The children in year 1 had a visit from a very important man... Santa. Santa and his helpers delivered some presents for the children. They were all very excited to see him.

As part of our PE lessons, the children have been learning a dance with Katie. Today (Monday 13th December) the children performed their dance dressed as a variety of animals.
