Library Visit
Today, we visited Wetherby Library. Madeleine, the librarian, showed us how to find books in the library and how books are organised. We have all chosen two books each to borrow for a few weeks.
Year 6 SATs Revision
It’s not long now until SATs week. Over the next few weeks, we will be revising so we’re fully prepared for the tests.
Here are some links so you can revise at home, too.
Living and Learning- Healthy Minds
This half term, our Living and learning theme is Healthy minds. Each week, we have a Living and learning statement.
- 23 April I recognise emotions in myself and others. Being aware of different emotions – both positive and negative – is an important basis for good mental health.
- 30 April I show empathy. Talk to your child about empathy, both in real-life situations and also when discussing characters in a book, film or TV programme.
- 08 May I can describe ways to calm down. We all get worked up from time to time – how do different people calm down?
- 14 May I use calming down strategies. Calming down strategies might include any of the mindfulness techniques children have been taught or counting to ten, going for a walk, getting a glass of water – discuss what works for you and your child?
- 21 May I recognise mental health is important. We want our children to be happy and healthy!
This text is a great introduction to the topic of mental health for children.

Sports Relief
We had a brilliant day yesterday, raising money for Sports Relief.
Well done to everybody who came to school in their sporty clothes and took part in lots of sporting activities throughout the day. We raised over £82 to share between Sports Relief and Unicef, our school charity.
