As we will be extending remote learning, I would like any work completed to date to be left in the plastic trays in the front door of the school porch on Mondays for me to collect, quarantine then mark. When dropping off any completed work, be sure to take away anything new in the trays for the week ahead.

HWB – Gratitude
This week’s HWB focus is on gratitude.
Gratitude is one of our many positive emotions. It’s about focusing on what’s good in our lives and being thankful for the things we have. Gratitude is pausing to notice and appreciate the things that we often take for granted, like having a place to live, food, clean water, friends, family, even computer access. It has been scientifically proven that people who have a regular gratitude practice are happier – do some research online and prepare to be amazed at the health benefits and happiness levels of people who actively practice gratitude!
We can express gratitude in several ways…
We can say ‘thank you’ – a simple acknowledgement for what someone has done for you. It makes the person feel appreciated and that in turn, makes you feel good too!
We can talk about gratitude – For example, at dinner time we can go around the family and say, ‘today I am grateful for…’ this is a fun activity for everyone to join in and will reveal some surprises too! Find out what your family are grateful for!
We can express gratitude by giving a hug, drawing a picture, sending a card, singing a song for someone – anything creative you can think of which expresses your thanks for them or something they’ve done.
Here’s a little song to help you cultivate the feeling of gratitude – what are you grateful for today?
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to you all! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas break with your families. As we’ll once again be home learning for a few weeks, I’ll be posting some PE activities and also some mindfulness and health and wellbeing activities you can do at home to keep you active, happy and healthy in your body and mind!
Use this first activity as a ‘brain break’ for when you need to move about after sitting at the computer for a while; it’ll re-energise you! Click the link and have fun with these moves!

Roll Film
We have been studying another Pie Corbet story – Dragonory, similar to the 3 Billy Goats Gruff, it tells the tale of a plucky protagonist outwitting a grumpy Dragon.
These movie sets will be used as part of our stop animation depiction of the Dragonory Story.
Achievement Award
Well done to Charlie and Lou for their combined effort in story telling! Charlie crafted a story following the life of a woman from Shetland who was inspired to train as a nurse after witnessing the heroic deeds of other nurses during WWII. Lou helped Charlie to develop the charaters and round off the story before it was written up.
