Lego Plea

Dear parents/carers,

As part of our School Improvement Plan, the Health and Wellbeing champs have been looking at creating clan Health and Wellbeing boxes.  We are issuing a plea for donations of unwanted Lego that we will put in to these boxes.  If you have any Lego at home that does not get used, even kits with missing pieces, we would be so grateful if you would hand this in to the office by Wednesday 20th March.

Thank you so much.

Building Resilience in Bluebell

This term in Bluebell, we have been looking at how we can build our resilience through purposeful play and discussions about “bounce-backability”. This week we tested our resilience by trying to lift a plastic cup without touching it.

We had to lift a cup by only using string and an elastic band without touching the cup. To be successful, everyone had to work together and try different strategies until we found one that worked. It was very tricky but when we worked together we managed to do it.

  • Firstly we had to cut a piece of string for everyone in the group.
  • Secondly we put the pieces of string through the elastic band. We then pulled the string to stretch the band over the cup.

It was such a fun activity to do together.
