Lots of you are doing some great things this week – maybe you could write a list of all the things you are grateful for. While these are difficult times, there are many things we are thankful for. Here is also another short mental health clip to watch too!

Dear God,

We thank you that you have made us stronger than we think.

We thank you that we are able to do and achieve far more than we think,

because you have made us in your image.

Thank you that you have promised us your help and wisdom and strength,

whenever we need it.

Amen.

This week is children’s mental health week and the theme is ‘Express Yourself’.

You can send me a picture and I will create a display for when you all return to school.

Friday update

Here we are at the end of another week. Well done everyone for keeping going when I am sure that each day brings more challenges and struggles. You are sending in some fantastic work and we are so proud of all our families.

Next week is ‘Children’s Mental Health week’ and we are going to be suggesting activities you can do. The theme is ‘Express Yourself” so any children in school on Monday 1st Feb can come in their own clothes but they must be warm enough. We would love to see all children on their Teams meeting in their own ‘Dress to Express’ clothes.

Here is the link for parents

Look out for your class activities next week.

Have a nice weekend everyone.
