What a wonderful start to the new year! The children have come back ready to learn! So many happy faces, fresh and eager to get stuck in!
Alongside important classroom routines we’ve jumped straight into the learning. We’ve made rainbow blowers, which are on our RE display, and will feature in our retelling of Noah’s story. We’ve learnt all about the New and Old Testaments - ask us how many books make up each!
GOING DEEPER IN CONVERSATION
At the beginning of every year we start with our Safeguarding lesssons for children. These help the children to know how to keep safe. This week (session 1) we have reflected on feeling specifically “yucky” feelings. This does not mean the feelings are bad - it mean they are telling us something is wrong. Ask your child what the “yucky feelings” are and what they can do if they have them.
The key message - tell your trusted adult. Here is s letter about the lessons and what we did today
LET’S CELEBRATE
As agreed, through our school council, our learning awards will no longer be handed out in assembly on Friday. We now have mini certficates for learning which can be given when we spot amazing learning in class. Keep an eye out for these - many will be coming your way!
The Virtue Star remains and will be awarded next week. We are trying to be Loving and Compassionate.
