See the timetable below for the activities ran by the Family Hubs over the October half-term. There are lots of lovely Halloween related events however most are bookable so don’t leave it too late incase they fill up!
For World Mental Health Day 7 Blue have been learning that our feelings are important and discussing how to care for ourselves and each other.
We made a Kindness Wheel, gave it a spin and it revealed a random act of Kindness that the children had to complete. I very proud watching them all being super kind to each other by giving complements, writing kind notes and making cards for each other. This made us all feel very happy. Well done 7 Blue!
If your family have had experience within Children’s Services, there is an event to get your views and personal experiences across. This can be to talk about the positives and negatives during their involvement. Senior Managers from the service will be present to hear your thoughts and answer any questions.
Where: Hedworth Hall, 35 Dean Road, South Shields, NE33 4EA
When: Thursday 6th November
Time:10am-1pm (Lunch and refreshments will be provided)
7 Blue attended a Primary school 10 Pin Bowling tournament organised by South Tyneside School Sport Network. We were one of seventeen teams from across South Tyneside.
The children represented the school excellently, eventually finishing in second place, with plenty of strikes and spares! The whole team were thrilled with their silver medals. Well done everyone!
This morning we had a visit from Reverend Ian at St John’s church. He talked about how God created people in his image. He talked about how people are special and how you see their images on coins etc. He then talked about how everyone is special, how we have to treat everyone with kindness and look after everyone.
7 Blue had a great first week in school. Everyone was in school on time, looking smart and ready to learn.
The children enjoyed exploring their new class, making new friends and completed some fantastic work! We read the book POW by Neil Clark, the story promotes lots of resilience and the importance of having a growth mindset.
After reading the book the children designed their own superhero then went on to create a comic strip showing their superhero helping someone.
We ended the week discussing the power of positivity and exploring a range of strategies we can use this year to help us manage any ‘big feelings’ we experience.
I am really looking forward to the year ahead and can’t wait to see what the children achieve this year when they put their positive mindsets into practice!
