Our assembly theme this week was focused around the British Value of Democracy, and we discussed the elections that were taking place around the country. In Character Education we also discussed courtesy again, and we were looking out for children who showed impeccable manners around the academy; needless to say, we had lots of superb examples.

Children in 4S have been swimming each afternoon this week, and they have really enjoyed being able to resume this essential skill and have made rapid progress in 4 days.  Well done to everyone.

Swimming

5N and 5W will be going swimming next week.

Please ensure these children have their swimming costume/shorts and a suitable towel in the academy each day.

Multi Sports

Multi Sports after school will start next week in bubbles for 4S, 5N/5W and 6S/6W for those who have reserved a place. If you would like a place for your child, please could you ensure that your child returns their form on Monday and that children have their P.E. kits in school on the relevant days:

Tuesday 4S, Wednesday 5N and 5W and Thursday 6N and 6W (check days correct)

All clubs run from 3-4pm.

Mental Health Week

Next week is Mental Health Week, and the theme is Connecting with Nature.  We will be having an assembly to promote this and having discussions in class.

Meaningful May

The Action for Happiness calendar this month reflects around what gives our life meaning.  Being a part of something bigger than ourselves and focusing on things that we value is key to our wellbeing. So let’s take time to reflect on what we care about this month and keep these things at the front of our minds as our societies begin to open up again.
