7 Red explored lots of different activities during mental health week. Including talking about feelings, working together, helping each other and learning from mistakes.
‘How you feel inside your brain’ – a great way to describe Mental Health!
Unity In The Community is a lovely theme which teaches us all about our surrounding areas and to look at them in different ways. We have been looking at not taking our lovely area for granted and to think about it with positivity. We had a look at some very boring signs that we often see in the area around us and we decided to allocate each sign a sound. After a while we realised that we had become composers and had created a musical story. We then used 2Simple to generate our story and listened to our creations. Look out Top Of The Pops!
This week in our ‘Unity In The Community’ theme, we have been looking at the importance of crossing the road safely. We looked at the Green Cross Code and worked with our partners to design our own posters and discuss what is right and wrong about certain scenarios that we have witnessed both in the community and on the class videos.
This week in school we have been talking about children’s mental health. We discussed how it is just as important to have a healthy mind as it is to have a healthy body. We also thought about who we should talk to if we are worried, scared, cross or upset and how it is okay to have these feelings but so important to talk to someone about it. We discussed ways to help us keep calm, relaxed and happy. We used these strategies in class:
We gave each other compliments!
Here are some of our comments:
We are kind.
We give good cuddles.
We share with our friends.
We listen to our friends.
We make people laugh and smile.
We play with friends.
We look after everyone.
We drew using the Youtube tutorials, did some Cosmic Kids Yoga and read the story ‘The Dot’ discussing resilience and how we should not give up!
Our Reception Classes are really enjoying our ‘Little Movers‘ sessions this term. Working with Pip our specialist leader, the children have been learning a range of physical development skills to boost their movement, balance and coordination across the curriculum. The children have loved the games and songs too – they have been really fun to be involved with and the smiles on our children’s faces is lovely to see. Well done everyone!
It was a successful afternoon overall today at a sunny Hebburn Comprehensive School for our Year 5/6 Girls’ Football Team.
The girls are still at an early stage of their development as a team, but we won one and drew one of our four league games today.
Well done girls – you were all awesome!
Last week the School Council and Eco Warriors worked together on a bird feeder project. We had a visit from Groundworks who talked to the children about visiting the tip, why you would go and what the children had dropped off. We then discussed how we deal with rubbish and recycling and the importance of 3 R’s – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!
We learned the importance of keeping the earth happy and the damage of climate change. The teams made bird feeders from recyclable material and then we hung them around our gardens! The two groups worked so well together and were a credit to us all.
Year 6 were on litter patrol this week, showing pride in our school environment. We collected two bags of litter that the windy weather had blown into the playground and against the perimeter fence. We agreed as a class how important it is to recycle as much as we can and place our litter into a bin, taking it home with us where this isn’t possible.
Well done everyone!
This week in our Maths we have been matching numerals to its picture form then trying our best to write the number word. This has been very tricky, especially the writing of the word in its number form but we didn’t give up. We then used our great communication and language skills to explain to our partner what picture we were looking at. Our partner had to listen very carefully and draw what we had said, sound easy? Well we did it back to back so we really had to concentrate on our partners words and directions. It was geat fun!
