Autumn Term 1 - Week 5:

This week, the children have begun to draft their newspaper reports based on the story of The 1000 Year Old Boy.  They have been thinking how they can incorporate both direct and reported speech so that quotes could be included within the journalistic report.  These will be edited and published next week as part of their English lessons.

The children have also continued their work on surrealism, sketching a design for their sculpture which they will begin to make next week. We also started our History unit on the Ancient Greeks, learning what started the Battle of Troy and what led to the Trojan Horse. 

On Friday, all the children came into school wearing green in recognition of World Mental Health Day.  Green is the colour that represents World Mental Health Day globally.  You could watch the below video to help support your child with expressing their emotions and feelings. 

Lucy's Blue Day - A Children's Mental Health Animated Short

⭐️Lucy's Blue Day - Animated Short⭐️ We are incredibly proud to bring you the first ever Lucy's Blue Day animation. This video, this story and this amazing little girl has been helping children express their emotions in a way they never knew they could. Please watch this video with your child and talk about how it is 'OK not to feel OK' at times and how powerful the act of talking is to help their emotions.
