This year Mental Health Week's focus was Growing Together. In Year 3 we discussed what it means to grow emotionally and how we can help each other to grow. We talked about different emotions and how to deal with them. We designed 'Grow your brain' posters that will be part of our PSHE display encouraging growing positive thoughts in the garden of our mind. We also made coping tools spinners to remind us of strategies to deal with different feelings.

Today we have been learning about soil. We looked at soil layers, talked about what you would find in each layer and created a soil profile.

Year 3 revised being SMART online and created posters. How can you stay safe online?
We looked at reasons for and against SCREEN TIME, remember screen times makes us think it's daytime so it is not a good idea to be on screens (tablets, phones, computers) before bed.
We have shared videos and photos on Seesaw.
Our pupils are working hard learning about keeping safe online, which also supports mental health week.
If families want to learn more, Parent Zone has a free Safer Internet Day Special Event on Tuesday 8 February, 4.30-5.00 pm, live on YouTube.
Stay safe everyone!
