Mrs Docherty Positive Thought For The Week: 29.5.20

Good morning as we approach another weekend and look back at what has gone we think of the word Friendship and realise that it has never meant so much as it means just now. As our Positive Song of the Week was I’ll be There for You we think about all of those whio have been there for us during th past 10 weeks and those who have supported us and each other in many different ways. The meaning of a true friend is summed up beautifully below:

A true friend is a friend who is always there for you. They standby you consistently both when you are present and when you are not.

Friendship can mean so many things to so many people but for us as a School, Friendship is one of our core values and one that is at the heart of everything we do and say. It is about support and kindness and this has not changed because we are not together. Indeed we have formed a stronger friendship as we all realise how important it is to be there for each other and how the smallest of things and the simplest of words can brighten up someone’s day or week. Just knowing that we are supporting each other and that we are always just a phone call or email away has meant we have been able to sustain and strengthen the bonds we have in our school community. As we continue to move forward and plan for the next stage please know that we are grateful to you and to your children for all you do to continue to make our school a special place to be in with special people to work with. Thank you.

Have a great weekend everyone and as always stay safe and look after each other.

What will you make?
How big will it be? What will it look like?
What purpose will it serve?
Who will you invite to help you in this project?
What could possibly go wrong with it? What will you do to prevent this?

How are you getting on with your health and wellbeing this week? I find Sports Charades really funny. Here is an activity to help with your mental wellbeing:

Let someone you love know how much they mean to you. You could draw them a picture, help them with something or phone them if you can’t see them just now.

How are you getting on with your typing using Dance Mat Typing? It’s on the ‘Something Fun’ section of your learning grid this week.

Literacy

Your writing challenge is all about Lego this week. I have found these interesting facts about lego on the National Geographic website. I picked my favourite three facts for you to read. Enjoy reading them!

The name “LEGO” came from taking the first two letters of the Danish words ‘leg godt’, meaning “play well“.
The famous LEGO brick that we play with today is more than 50 years old. The bricks made way back in 1958will still fit perfectly with those you play with today!
Laid end to end, the number of LEGO bricks sold in a year would reach more than five times round the world.

Here is a game all about number patterns. You need to complete the number pattern by dragging numbers to the correct place.

Mrs Docherty HWB: Feelings 27.5.20

Good morning everyone. This week’s Health and Wellbeing theme will be feelings and how we can explore them with our children. There are so many feelings for children to name and recognise and it is good to encourage our children to begin to both recognise these and how they make us feel.

I have included a lovely link below for a story all about feelings called In my Heart. Please listen to the story and share it with your child as a way of supporting them to recognise feelings:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIfLgHBwYx4

For today I thought it would be good to share ideas about how we can talk about feelings.

Knowing your Feelings:

It is easy to talk ab out feelings when we know how we feel and why we feel that way. Some ways to achieve this with your child include:

Think of the name for how you feel. (Maybe you feel upset.)
Think of why you feel that way. (Maybe you feel this way because of how much things have changed for us and because our routine is different)
Get your child to put these two points together into words. (Say to yourself, “I feel upset about Coronavirus.”)
If your child doesn’t know why they feel a certain way, you can still talk about it. You can say, “I feel upset but I don’t know why.”

Pick someone to talk to:

It is good for your child to choose someone to talk to. In school we do this using the helping hand approach. On each finger the child identifies someone they can talk to. Try this at home too. It is a good way for your child to know there will always be someone to talk to.

Let them know that the other person will listen
They might give them advice or they might even make them laugh
Let them know they have someone to share their worry or indeed their excitement with as all feelings are good to share.

Taking time to talk to someone and taking the time to listen is such a key part of allowing your child to explore and identify their feelings . I hope you have enjoyed the story and if you try any of the ideas please let me know.

Have a great day everyone,

Mrs Docherty
