This week we revisited the rights of a child, making links to our learning with Miss McKay in Term 1 and 2. We will now focus on the following rights; Article 17 (right to get information that is important to your well-being) and Article 24 (right to the best health care).  As a unit we began to discuss the difference between our physical health and our mental health.  This work will continue and will look further at our feelings and how these impact our mind and actions over the next few assemblies. It will lead into a focus on resilience.

At home any discussions about feelings (naming them, recognising them, knowing what it does to our body in terms of how we feel and look) and how we manage these feelings looking particularly at coping strategies for resilience building, would be very useful.  I will share the strategies we focus on in school!

The P2 pupils have been offered the opportunity to put themselves forwards as leaders for the units. I will be looking for 2 pupils from each P2 class and these will be chosen in class by the rest of their classmates. Some have been chosen already! I really look forward to working with the small group closely and will ask the children to share what they are doing through my blog so that you know what they are up to!

Star Assembly Class: Congratulations goes to P1/2 this week! As a team they sat very well and we had one of their classmates up as a volunteer which was very appreciated! It was hard to choose a class this week as they are all working hard in assembly!

Star Pupils: Congratulations to all our star pupils this week. I am very proud to see people working hard in their learning and trying their very best.
