Building Resilience

Resilience is a key factor in protecting and promoting good mental health. This whole-school programme aims to look at ten different things that can help support children to develop resilience.

The programme will run over a three-year period. Each theme is introduced with a launch assembly and the key messages are followed up in class activities and at follow-up assemblies. A parent and carer information leaflet will be provided for each theme.

How you can help:

Each theme has a ‘Talk It Over’ section to encourage you to share some of your life’s learning with your child. There is also a related ‘Home Activity’ to support learning at home.

Our first leaflet can be found at the end of this newsletter.

Open Afternoons

Thank you to all the parents and carers who attended our Open afternoons. What a great turn out! It was so lovely to see the community back in school, sharing in our learning.

Here are a very small collection of some of the lovely comments left in our Golden Book:

‘Great to see all the work going on in class. Keep up the great work. You’re all superstars.’

R1 Parent

‘What a beautiful classroom. I loved seeing everyone work.’

R17 Parent

 ‘Thank you for inviting me into your classroom to see all your wonderful hard work and beautiful pictures. You’re doing really well. Keep up the great work. You are making us all proud.’
