World Book Day – 4th March

Settling Back into School with our Friends – 8th March

This week, we are spending lots of quality time helping children settle back and we have been enjoying some activities to rebuild friendships. This morning each child coloured their Spring flower and then we had a circle time and presented each other with a flower. The children said something nice about the person as they handed over their flower. During another part of the day the children have started to learn about their brains and the different functions. (They are using a model of their hand to help them understand). Tomorrow, they will learn what to do when they ‘flip their lids’ and how to use some of the ‘Ten a day’ strategies to help relieve stress and anxieties
