This week we shared a story called ‘Find Your Happy’. We talked about all the different emotions we have and practiced expressing these emotions with our faces. The children all made a picture drawing all of the lovely things they do or have that make them happy. 
 

The theme for Children's Mental Health Week 2026 is 'This is My Place', and the aim is to support the systems around children and young people to help them feel they belong.

Each child in class 3 shared how they feel they belong. They then designed a card all about them explaining the things…

We shared the parable of the Mustard Seed and talked about it’s important…

Fr Neale joined us for our RE lesson today! He came to answer our questions about the role of a vicar. He answered things such as:

What do you do on a Tuesday when church is closed?

Why did you become a vicar?

Did you receive a calling to change careers?

What is your most/least…

We’ve had a great afternoon exploring shadow. We looked at what a shadow is, how it is made and then had a go at drawing some.  It was not easy but the children did a fantastic job!
