On Friday, we created box exhibit in the hall with all of the children's memory boxes.We all had a chance to see everybodies memory boxes and discuss them.
Brilliant Brains (2021)
In June, the children spent the morning learning all about our brilliant brains.They learnt about the hippo campus where all our memories are stored, the cerebellum part of the brain that helps us to move, the pre frontal cortex which controls our behaviour, personality and decision making and the cerebrum which helps us to think and speak and the amygdala which controls our emotions.They donned their Science lab coats to undertake various brain experiments (not real brains!) They discovered that the brain weighs three cans of beans, they did a brain quiz and made brain hats.A fun morning was had by all and the children learnt some interesting brain facts!

These included, a fireman, nurse, hairdresser, author, vet, a geologist and police officer. Each of them talked about what they do in their jobs and what we have to do to become on of them. After this, we researched the different jobs that we want to do when we are older to help us to know how to get there.

Times Table Rockstars Day (2019)

Mental Health Awareness Day (2019)
On this day, we learnt all about how important it is to look after your mental health as well as your physical health. We started the day by joining in with Joe Wicks live as we had discussed the benefit that exercise has on your mind. Throughout the day, we discussed lots more strategies to help to ensure that we looked after our mental health.
As a school, we wore yellow to represent our support for those suffering with mental health.
Mental health awareness day also saw the introduction of the newest members of our school family, Toffee and Marshmellow. The friendly guinea pigs were introduced to help children in the school who may be feeling worried or anxious at home or at school to encourage them to open up and to help them to take their mind off things, having something to love and care for. During the day, we created instructions on how to look after and care for the guinea pigs.
