Year 2 Become Story Detectives!
This week, our Year 2 children have been diving into the enchanting world of traditional tales. As part of their literacy focus, they became “story detectives,” carefully analysing the classic structure of traditional tale stories. They explored familiar openings and endings, key characters, settings and problems, developing a deeper understanding of how these timeless stories are created.
Ramadhan Activities!
Over the holidays, children took part in a variety of creative Ramadhan activities. They baked delicious suhoor and iftar recipes and made beautiful handcrafted lanterns to decorate their homes. Many also completed a “Good Deed Jar” by carrying out daily acts of kindness and designed Ramadhan quizzes or scavenger hunts for their families. These thoughtful activities helped the children reflect on gratitude, generosity and the true spirit of Ramadhan.
Year 3 Create Ramadan Mubarak Cards!
Year 3 enjoyed designing and creating beautiful Ramadan Mubarak cards. The children carefully selected colours, patterns and thoughtful messages to celebrate the holy month. This creative activity allowed them to reflect on the importance of Ramadan while showcasing their artistic skills and spreading kindness through their handmade cards.
Children’s Mental Health Week Activities!
During Children’s Mental Health Week, pupils across the school took part in a range of meaningful activities to support their emotional wellbeing. Our Nursery children explored creative colouring and simple breathing exercises to help them feel calm and express their feelings. Reception developed their understanding of emotions and empathy through circle time, calming activities and role-play. Year 1 focused on the importance of sharing feelings and supporting one another, taking part in mindful colouring, peaceful painting and ‘circle of friends’ discussions. Year 2 also enjoyed a dedicated day of mindfulness and wellbeing activities. A lovely reminder that looking after our mental health is important every day.
