We have had another quiet week in school!
This morning in school, all children joined together to make bird feeders with Alex from ‘Where the Wildings Are’. These have been placed around our school grounds to encourage more wildlife.

Children’s Mental Health Week – will take place from 5^th – 11^th February 2024. The theme this year is ‘My Voice Matters’.
In school, during this week, we will be focussing on the importance of having our voices heard and looking at positive affirmations using the book “The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse” by Charlie Mackesy. If any families have a copy of this book, please feel free to bring it into school (named) on Monday.
On Friday, we would like to share some of the work we’ve completed in the hall from 3.15–3.45pm for parents to come and see. Mrs Jones (mental health lead) will be around if you have any questions or concerns regarding children’s mental health.
We would love this week to be an opportunity for you to chat with your children about mental health and we’ve attached some information.  
We would like to invite children to join in and wear their scarf to school on Friday 9^th February.
