Take Care Tuesday (2nd February) – Mental Health Week Assembly

Here is the link for the live assembly for Mental Health week. You need to scroll down the page to click on it. It’s quite long so there are ideas for when to pause it and have a discussion.

Have some off-screen time this afternoon and do some baking/cooking? What will you do today?

I will always try to respond to emails as quickly as possible. This week I will be offering the following Teams meetings.

Tuesday 9.30am: Whole Class Well-being meeting ( A chance to check in with everyone, celebrate our achievements and discuss the learning for the week).

Wednesday 1.30pm: Year 2 Maths lesson on Statistics for anyone that is struggling with the learning this week and would like some extra input.

Wednesday 2.15pm: Year 3 Maths lesson on Statistics for anyone that is struggling with the learning this week and would like some extra input.

If you would like your child to attend one of the Maths sessions on Teams, please let me know by 6pm on Tuesday so that I can set up the meetings.

If your child would benefit from a phone call or a short individual Teams meeting, let me know and I will try my best to arrange this after school.

Have a lovely weekend, Miss Pinches

Mental Health Week

This week is children’s mental health week and the theme is ‘Express Yourself’. So, take the time to do some things you enjoy like: painting, listening to music, dancing, craft activities, cooking, riding your bike or anything else that you really enjoy. You can send me a picture and I will create a display for when you all return to school.

Here are a few things you might also like to do:

Young Voices

I know lots of you have missed practising the songs going  to Young Voices this year. However, there is a Young Voices at Home  which is live every Thursday at 11:00am. Sadly, we are unable to do this at school as singing is not allowed but why not practise the songs at home?

Home Learning for next week

Well done everyone for working so hard this week! Thank you for your lovely emails and for sharing your work with us.I am posting the remote learning today so that you may look at it before Monday if this is useful. In English this week, the children will be focusing on writing description. There is a lesson from Oak Academy for each day and the children will listen and respond to a story called ‘How Coyote brought fire to the Earth’. In Maths, both year groups will be learning about money. Year 2 will use the lessons from Oak Academy and Year 3 will use the White Rose materials. If your child requires extra material or finds it easier to work offline, I am adding some work books below that can be printed off.

Year 2 Money Workbook

Year 3 Money Workbook

Have a great weekend!

Best Wishes, Miss Pinches

Worship- Tuesday 19th January

Yesterday, we learnt about Martin Luther King Jn and how he had a dream to change the future. He wanted everybody to be treated equally and fairly. Today, I would like you to think about yourself and how special you are. What makes you unique and special? What makes you different to your friends? Is it your hair colour or your height? Is it the number of brothers and sisters? Your family structure?

Now think about what makes us all different?

We are all humans, people with feelings, hopes and dreams of our own. Watch this video about a happy dancing sheep who is full of beans and the love of life until things change. What messages can you learn from the story?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WyR4AqRweY

This video always makes me smile and some of you might have seen it before. The sheep learnt an important lesson thanks to the jackaloupe- what do you think the lesson was? There might be more than one!

I think the sheep learnt that it didn’t matter what he looked like. By dancing and being happy, he brought joy and happiness to his friends. he jackaloupe taught him to be proud of who he was and to be positive in this world of ups and downs.

Have a quiet think about times when you have felt down, sad or lost your confidence. What could you do to help you to ‘bounce back’ and put a smile on your face?

Dear God

Thank you for all the different skills and talents that you have given us.

Help us to make the best use of our skills and be determined to think that we can do good things

Help us to be the best person that we can be

Amen
