I want to start by saying a big “THANK YOU!” for all the wonderful photos that you’ve sent in to me this week to show the resilient moves you’ve made to mark Children’s Mental Health week. The theme this week was ‘Express yourself’ and I’ve really enjoyed reading all about the different goals you have been setting yourselves, the reflections you’ve made and I’ve particularly loved seeing the different things that you have got up to to express yourselves. Despite this extremely challenging time we are all facing, each and every one of you has demonstrated just how resilient you are - you really have been looking up to find that rainbow! I’m so proud of you all and I can’t thank you all enough for the continued hard work that you have put into your home learning and those of you who have been working so hard in school.
Take a look at what your friends have been up to this week (I had to make two videos this week as we had so many photos come in) …
Please continue to share the resilient moves you make (year5@our-lady.blackpool.sch.uk). Although Children’s Mental Health week is over for another year, it is still so important to continue to set yourself goals each week and to set aside time to do things that you enjoy and to make time to learn new life skills and start new hobbies. I too will be trying to set myself some goals… I don’t usually find the time to bake but so many of you have inspired me to make some time to do a bit more of that.
A catch up…
On Tuesday I am hoping that you will all be able to catch up with us on Google Meet. It has been a long half term since we were last all together and as next week is our last week before half term, I thought it would be lovely to have a bit of a catch up to see how everyone is getting on. We have all missed you terribly in school, so it’ll be lovely to see your smiley faces again - even if it is just through the screen! We look forward to seeing you all!
Safer Internet Day…
On Tuesday it is also Safer Internet day. We always mark this day in school each year and this year, with the increase in online use, it is even more important that we do so. On this day we will explore reliability online. The internet has an amazing range of information and opportunities online, but how do we separate fact from fiction? On the home learning timetable you will find the lesson dedicated to this and an audio video of me guiding the children through the activities.
Next week’s home learning can now be accessed from this link .This will be available each week by the end of school on a Friday .
Have a wonderful weekend and see you all next week!
Mrs McVey, Miss Evans and Mrs Connolly
