Dormanstown Blog – 14th May 2021

Our assembly focus this week was on Mental Health Awareness Week whose theme was Connecting with Nature. We also looked at Forgiveness in our Character Education assembly.

1T had a fantastic experience on Monday, taking themselves back to Edwardian times and spending a day dressed up and re-enacting what a day at school would be like for a child over a 100 years ago.

Well done to 5N and 5W for another great week at swimming with lots of progress made in developing this essential life skill.

Mental Health Awareness Week

Children spent time using the theme Connecting with Nature to celebrate Mental Health Awareness Week. Our outdoor spaces allowed plenty of opportunities to see the benefits that nature can bring to our mental health.

HeadStart also focused their fortnightly newsletter around activities linked to this theme also. Follow the link below:

Attendance Awards

Yesterday year 6 enjoyed a film afternoon with southern fried chicken, popcorn, and sweet treats. This was an attendance reward for filling up their ‘AWESOME’ chart. This is the second class to receive this reward this year, well done!!

There are a few other classes close to completing their chart too so keep attending to win a reward afternoon!

We are having a whole academy push on attendance for the remainder of the summer term, letters have gone out to parents/carers where attendance has fallen below 96%. Let’s really go for 100% until the 6 weeks holidays and we can have many more rewards!
