This week has been Children’s Mental Health Week with the theme of ‘My Voice Matters’. Over the course of the week, we have been doing lots of different activities to encourage the children to talk about their feelings because ‘it matters!’ We ended the week with a dress up day where we all wore something to express ourselves!
To finish our topic of ‘People Who Help Us’, Reception were very lucky to have a special visitor from St Helier Hospital.
We got to meet a paediatric nurse (Evie’s daddy) and found out about their role and what they do day to day. We learnt that paediatric nurses look after children when they are feeling poorly both in the hospital and at their houses (in the community).
We got to explore some of the equipment they might use including a heart monitor and we looked at their uniform. Thank you Evie’s daddy, we had so much fun!
Our entire school recently took part in Storytelling Week, from 27 January to 4 February! 📖 This incredible annual event is a vibrant celebration of the power that stories hold, reminding us of the joys of sharing them. ✨📚
Stories have the remarkable ability to teach us about the world around us, letting us step into someone else’s shoes, encouraging empathy, and broadening our horizons. They also provide a means to relax and escape from the everyday, whilst nurturing essential literacy skills.
To kickstart the week, Mrs. Ryder and Mr. Gilbert, shared an enchanting tale during our assembly. They then set a thrilling challenge for the children: to learn and retell a traditional story over the course of the week! 📚📝
The culmination of this exciting week was a magnificent assembly, where each year group showcased their incredible storytelling skills. The performances were absolutely captivating!
Throughout the week, our eager students eagerly shared stories amongst themselves, and were treated to some mesmerizing tales from adults around the school. In addition to this, all parents, grandparents, aunites and uncles were invited in to school to read with their children and share stories.
🌟 We are immensely proud of all our students for their enthusiasm and creativity during Storytelling Week. Their dedication to honing their storytelling skills was truly inspiring! 🌟
Let's keep the magic of storytelling alive throughout the year, nurturing a love for tales that will last a lifetime! 💫📚
Meeting the real-life superheroes that keep our community safe 🦸♀️🦸♂️
Our children in Early Years had an absolutely amazing day on Monday! They were thrilled to meet three Police Officers from our local Police Station. 🚓 The excitement was contagious as they got a first-hand look into the incredible work they do to keep us safe.
💙 The children listened with awe as our local heroes talked about their role in helping people in our community. They were fascinated to learn about different aspects of police work and bravely asked questions.
But that was not all! The highlight of the day was sitting inside a real-life police car 🚔, trying on a variety of police hats, and getting their fingerprints taken. 🖐️ We could see the joy and excitement on their faces as they actively engaged in these hands-on experiences.
We are incredibly grateful to the friendly Police Officers for taking the time to visit our school and make this experience unforgettable for our children. 🙌 Thank you!
