Councillor David Francis joined us as a special guest in our assembly. He is a local councillor who is a member of the Green Party. He talked to us about what inspired him to want to make a difference in his local community and then presented the Eco Warriers with the Eco -Schools Award flag and certificate.
We look forward to welcoming him back to school so that he can find out more about our Conservation themes.
The theme of this Years Mental Health Week is ‘Let’s Connect’. Connection is vital for our wellbeing. Let’s Connect is about making meaningful connections and Miss Smith from the Healthy Minds Team came into school to today and delivered and assembly to encourage our children (and staff) to connect with others in healthy, rewarding, and meaningful ways.
To celebrate Mental Health Week in school and to raise awareness of the importance of children’s mental health we have completed lots of different activities in class through out the week.
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.
In our May The Force Be With You theme, Year 3 have been investigating which objects a magnet will attract and repel. We decided the best way to do this was to have a magnetic hunt around school! We enjoyed visiting the corridors, the sensory area and the library and used our magnets to investigate which objects will be attracted to the magnet and which will repel.
We had lots of fun!
Breakfast Club
Due to the rise in the number of children attending breakfast club and the need to increase staffing levels in the hall.
From Monday 27th February, any child attending breakfast club must arrive before 8.30am. After this point the breakfast club doors will be closed.
Thank you
Well done to our Attendance Winners!
Some of our Year 3 children attended the South Tyneside Multi-Skills Festival at Temple Park this week. The children took part in events such as football shooting, basketball dribbling and throwing & catching. The children had a great experience and won two of the events – the target practice and the football shooting. Well done everyone – it was a real privilege to take you along and your behaviour was exemplary.
