Mrs Docherty HWB Key Messages for our Children: Day 1 9.6.20

Good morning everyone,

The theme for this week is counting on each other. For my blog posts this week I will be looking at providing your children with a key theme and poster to help motivate them and to support them to recognise things they can do to help others and also support their own wellbeing.

A great website to support this is Action for Happiness where there are super ideas and messages of hope, some of which I have been sharing with you over the past few weeks.

Today’s first theme is Acceptance:

 

 

I have also added a link below in green where you can download the poster as part of the pack over the coming days if you would like to display these.

In school we always talk about what makes us special and that each and every one of us in the St Ninian’s family bring their own unique talent and skills to help make our school great. These are celebrated at Assemblies, through our committees and of course through our day to day learning.

We are looking forward to everyone returning and sharing their special talents and skills with us again because they are what makes each and every one of you, you, and makes you a special part of the bigger St Ninian’s picture.

Boys and girls, keep being you, you are special in every way.

 

Mrs Docherty

Mrs Docherty Positive Song for the Week: 8.6.20

Good morning everyone. As we start a new week of online learning I hope you have managed to have a lovely weekend with your families. One of my favourite things is deciding what song suits who we are as a school and as a team.  We are a very special team made up of you as parents, our staff, and of course and most importantly your children.

One song that immediately came to mind was Bruno Mars: Count on Me. If ever there was a song that applied to who we all are at St Ninian’s it is this song. Please have a listen I’m sure you’ll agree:

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yc6T9iY9SOU

 

Just like the quote above the words of the song absolutely ring true:

Find out what we’re made of
When we are called to help our friends in need

You can count on me like one two three
I’ll be there
And I know when I need it I can count on you like four three two
You’ll be there
‘Cause that’s what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah

 

We have certainly found out what we are all made of during this time. We have been there for each other, counted on each other and showed trust and respect towards each other. This has been evident from the amazing work shared, the messages of support and the touching base asking how are you, and how are you getting on that have been permanent fixtures of our connectedness.

All done with a real sense of compassion and care. What a team St Ninian’s, we are certainly NUMBER 1!!!

Have a great day everyone full of care and compassion,

Mrs Docherty

Numeracy

Try to think back to completing your numeracy challenge this week and answer these yes/no questions.

  1. Did you get at least 10 different ways to make 8? If you haven’t, why not look at your work and try to think of another way to make 8.
  2. Did you try to find a really interesting way to make 8?
  3. Did you check over your answers to make sure they were accurate? Try to solve your calculations to make sure they all make 8.

Did you use any of the same ways as I did?

3 + 5 = 8        7 + 1 = 8       15 – 7 = 8           20 – 12 = 8         2 x 4 = 8

Mrs Docherty Positive Thought for the week: 5.6.20

Good morning. Wow, it is amazing that we are that the end of our first week in June. I hope that our theme of happiness has continued for you all throughout the week.

Happiness comes in so many forms and throughout the week I have been sharing ideas on how to promote positivity and support your children in having positive experiences in their day. I think that main message for the week has been that:

There has never been a time in our lives that makes this message more important as we have all sat down and really appreciated what we have. The most important thing to us is our family and friends in life as they are the constants for us. Other things will come and go but connections that we make stay a lifetime. This has certainly made us stop and think about the amazing connections we have formed and cemented as a school and the happiness and support this has given us.

So going into the weekend I have given you a poster that you can look at to help you remember what happiness really is and how it can be part of every day for us.  I have also included a lnik so you can print the poster if you like.
