National Poetry Day 6.10.22
This year's theme is the environment, so we wrote poems to an object from nature. This was the first step - contemplating and making notes about our thoughts and feelings. We then went back to class and wrote a poem called 'We are friends.'
September 15th Scooter Day
What a fantastic day! We heard how it takes resilience and perseverance to keep going and succeed at something, then we all had the chance to put that into practice.

Today we started our wellbeing journals. The children have lovely notebooks and gel pens, and can draw, write or doodle their thoughts on a specific topic. Today we were reflecting on our holiday and thinking about our goals for the year ahead.
