Mrs N’s Notes ~ 4th May 2018
We’ve been learning a new song in school over the past week. It’s called the SHANARRI song. It goes like this:
Hello sunshine. Hello blue sky
S-H-A-N-A-R-R-I
We’re safe and we’re healthy and achieving
We’re nurtured and we’re active every day
Respected you can see. Responsible are we
When everyone’s included we can be happy!
Looking back at the past week, I can see that we are not only singing these words, we are actually LIVING the lyrics! Take a moment to look at the photos of our adventures this week and you will see examples of each one of these Wellbeing Indicators running through each of our days at school or nursery.
We have certainly been demonstrating healthy lifestyles and a desire to be active over the past few weeks with our commitment to the Big Pedal. Hopefully this will have encouraged some of our learners to continue with healthy journeys to school. Fingers crossed the weather will remain favourable over coming weeks to allow this to continue.
However, there is more going on behind the scenes that may not be obvious to the wider Kirkshaws community. We have pupils opting to take on more responsibilities on a regular basis: in a few weeks a new lunchtime book club is starting, run entirely by a group of our senior pupils; the Eco Committee are currently organising a plant growing competition; the Playground Committee continue to meet once every two weeks to discuss playground issues and iron out any problems that may be cropping up; monitors and playground buddies volunteer to support younger learners EVERY day; the RRSA Steering Group are preparing to run a whole school assembly in a few weeks.
Can I also take this opportunity to thank you all for your generous donations this week. We were delighted at the response to both our Fundraisers’ Afternoon Tea and the donation to Sustrans today. Your generosity is much appreciated.
As we launch into our long weekend, why not ask your child to teach you the song…I guarantee you will LOVE IT! All together now…
Hello sunshine. Hello blue sky
S-H-A-N-A-R-R-I
REMEMBER WE HAVE A LONG WEEKEND – SCHOOL, BREAKFAST CLUB AND NURSERY OPEN AT THE NORMAL TIMES ON WEDNESDAY 9TH MAY!
