Sharing Our Work in Y6

Some highlights from well-being week - 7th - 11th February

We were lucky to welcome Luke Rigg JP into Sycamore class to speak about the role of a magistrate. The children came up with amazing ideas such as: they support people in the area, they want the world to be at peace and they are a leader in the community.

Luke not only spoke about his role but also about being 'criminally responsible'. This prompted many questions linked to what happens to people who commit a crime.

Luke was very impressed with how we link our Christian and British Values to our learning and the level of questioning from the children.

Zoe, from the mental heath advisory service took us all through various techniques we could use if we are feeling stressed, anxious or frustrated. The idea is to give yourself a distraction to focus your thoughts in the present.

Everyone looked great in their pyjamas today. The children commented how relaxed they felt, not too relaxed to learn though!

This week we have shared and discussed our positive thought of the day, these include:

Always believe in yourself.
Never, Never, Never give up.
Don't be afraid to be great.
The best way to get something started is to begin.
Be the reason someone smiles today.

The children also had a daily dance, which is a great way to wake ourselves up for learning.

Bollywood comes to St Nicholas for Wellbeing week - 9th February 2022

Smiles all round as Sycamore class took part in a Bollywood workshop today. Everyone, including adults, had a great time learning a real Bollywood routine taken from a film.

See if you can spot the 'Lotus' hands' a shape that communicates within the dance, like sign language.

A definite feel-good activity as part of well-being week.

Church Visit

It was a very wet walk to church however the children kept on smiling and were fantastic ambassadors of the school. Head Boy and Girl, Sahil and Zanetta read from the letter of St Paul to the Philippians. Both Henrietta and Yezan read prayers. After the service, the children were treated to a drink and a biscuit along with the wonderful opportunity to talk to the congregation.

It was so lovely to be in amongst the community after so long away.
