Wellbeing Ambassadors

Introducing our new Wellbeing Ambassadors. Our participatory budget was spent on a Wellbeing Training Program for children. We have had a great afternoon learning the Five Ways to Wellbeing and look forward to planning ways to teach the rest of the school about this.

We learned the importance of being active to improve our wellbeing.

We enjoyed some mediation and a hot drink to calm our brain and to take notice of how we feel.

We practised gratitude.

We helped to shape the role of Wellbeing Ambassadors at Longridge Primary School.

P3/2 and P2/1 police visit

This morning we had a visit from the community police officers. We learned all about the role of a police officer, how they keep us safe and then we got to try on some of their uniform and kit.

Building Thinking Classroom

In P3/2 we have been developing a thinking classroom. During maths we have been working on solving different problems using our critical thinking, collaborating and communication skills whilst using Math Talk Moves – Turn and Talk and Wait Time. Today P3/2 co-created our success criteria, which helps us understand how to be successful in a task. Miss Smith was super impressed we came up with all of these by ourselves. We then used our success criteria to successfully solve the problem.

P3/2 STEM

This afternoon P3/2 used all of our amazing collaboration and creativity skills to build a house fit for the 3 little pigs. We worked in small randomised groups using different materials to build a strong house that would withstand the ‘wolf test’! We then spoke about the pros and cons of each material.

P3/2 French

P3/2 have been learning French words and phrases for the weather. We played pairs today, trying really hard to read the French phrases and match them to the correct picture. Tres bien!
