This week is Children’s Mental Health Week. The theme was ‘your voice matters’. In class, children learnt about what makes them unique and special. Children learnt why it is important to express themselves and look after their mental health and wellbeing. We discussed why we should feel proud of who we are.
Simply sharing something we are proud of can help us celebrate ourselves and each other. It does not have to be a big thing…. It only matters that it is important to you.
It was lovely seeing children dressed up today for Express Yourself Day.
On Tuesday, we celebrated Safer Internet Day with thousands of people across the UK working together to champion youth voice and engage in conversations about how we can all work together to make the internet a great and safe place. The purpose of the day is to inspire change, make a difference, and navigate change online. Listen to our digital leaders share a poem about how to be safe online.
Safer Internet Day is a great opportunity to focus on online safety with your child, whatever their age.
Application forms for our school Nursery are available at all times from the school office. If you have a child who is turning 4 between 1st September 2024 and 31st August 2025 they will be entitled to 15 hours a week of free nursery education. Some families may be entitled to 30 hours of free nursery education a week. You are encouraged to complete the form at your earliest convenience so they can be added to the waiting list. Applications close on 1st May 2024.
We have been updating our wellbeing page on the website. This page has information about how we can support your child and your family. It also has information about upcoming workshops we are running at school.
Thank you to all the families who donated dressing up outfits this week. The children have really enjoyed using the costumes and being creative with role play.
Week 4 (19th Feb): Outdoor clothing: wellies that are now too small, jackets, waterproof trousers, gloves etc.
We are continuing to work on punctuality. It is really important that your child is at school before the gates close so they are ready for learning. If your child is late this means they have missed key information that will help them with their learning and help them progress.
Getting to school punctually and every day is an important part of the school day. It is your responsibility to ensure that your child attends school each day and is on time.
We would like to start a Morningside PTA and need your help. Come along to our first meeting. Please come and get involved. Everyone is welcome.
When: Friday 1st March
Time: 9.15am, straight after Family Friday
Where: Office Meeting Room
It’s fine to send your child to school with a minor cough, common cold or sore throat. But if they have a fever, keep them off school until the fever goes.
Encourage your child to throw away used tissues and to wash their hands regularly.
Moments matter, attendance counts.
Each week, we will share the class, who has the highest attendance. This week, we want to celebrate 3M , who all achieved 99%. A huge well done and keep up the excellent work; it has a great impact on learning and progress. At the end of the half term, the class with the highest attendance will receive a special reward.
