Mental Health Awareness Week 2023

15th May 2023N Fada

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week. It’s a chance to think about our mental health and what we can do to protect it.

The place where we go to for comfort and to feel calm is very important as it often helps us to feel better when we are experiencing worries.

Where is your ‘happy place?’ At the beach listening to the waves, walking in the woods, cooking something delicious, spending time with your family, walking the dog?

We would love you to send us some photographs throughout this week showing us the places that make you and your child feel happy and calm.

Surprise Pizza Delivery For Year 6!

12th May 2023C Campbell

Year 6 completed their final SATs today and what better way to reward the children’s herculean efforts than with a pizza party!

We are exceptionally proud of the children and it was lovely to see their surprised faces when the pizzas arrived!

Well done everyone!

Gardening award!

This half-term, our gardening club have already achieved their Level 1 award, from the Royal Horticultural Society!

Working in the school garden, we are aiming to get some edible produce (fruits and vegetables) planted, ready to harvest and taste test ourselves.

Adding to our level 1 award, we have also officially been given our School Gardening member plaque and are continuing to work our green fingers, to reach levels 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Well done gardeners, keep up the fantastic work!
