Hummingbird Project

Today the Hummingbird Project started in year 5 and 6. This is a 6-week Positive Education intervention, designed to give students the tools they need to be as happy, healthy, and productive as possible. It involves hour-long workshops, in which students learn about happiness, mindfulness, gratitude, kindness, character strengths, and resilience, and take part in fun activities that help them to understand how to put these ideas into practice. 


Afternoon Tea with Mrs Parker

These wonderful role models have been green all term and enjoyed afternoon tea with me. I loved it and we ate too much chocolate cake.Well done to everyone who has also been green - maybe next time it will be you!  


Reading Competition.

Today we had a wonderful surprise visit from Ms Lund the Assistant Headteacher at Rayner Stephens. She presented Sam with 8 books for winning a competition set on their Open Evening. Sam loves reading and this is the perfect prize for him. Out of 10, Sam said this was 11! Thank you to Rayner Stephens. 


Phonics Workshop

Today we held a phonics workshop for Nursery and Reception families. This had an autumnal feel to it and was wonderful to see families learning phonemes and reading together.

Macmillan Coffee Afternoon

We raised money for Macmillan at school today, with non-uniform and cakes. Thank you to all the families who donated cakes and also attended our fund raising. We will share what we have raised as soon as we know. Think everyone now needs a lie down from all the yummy treats we have had. 


Worry Wizard Visit

Today our Wellbeing Team met the Worry Wizard herself - Amy Smythe. They ate biscuits, talked about their role in school and played a wellbeing game. Our champions have more assembly ideas and have some great support in place for our pupils Aoife's idea is to travel away from her worries on a Chicken Mayo Wrap - which made us all giggle. Thank you to Amy for her time with our pupils.
