Message from Jo and Rachel

Happy Friday! It has been so lovely today seeing all the children and staff in their bright clothes, shining brightly for Children’s Mental Health Week. The children really enjoyed the bubbles and the music at the gate this morning; it was a very happy start to Friday. During the week, the children have taken part in Emotional Wellbeing workshops with Young Hackney. They all learnt about ‘Five to Thrive’. These are 5 key things we can all do to help keep our minds healthy: Connect, Stay Active, Take Notice, Keep Learning, and Giving.

Next week, we break up for the half term holiday on Friday 14th February at 3:30pm.

We hope that you all have a lovely weekend.

Jo and Rachel

Words for When Things Go Wrong 

Next week as part of our assemblies we will be focusing on integrity and respect for others. We will be teaching the children useful vocabulary to support them asking adults for help when things go wrong. Please see the image below for a helpful description of the difference between conflict, being rude, being mean and bullying. 

Safer Internet Day

Internet Safety Day will take place on the 11th of February and this year we will be learning about how to protect ourselves whilst online.

We will be holding a parent pop in to support parents with any questions or concerns about online safety on Tuesday 11th February at 8:30am.
