WELL-BEING

The first fortnight of school will have a focus on Wellbeing and Mental Health. . The children will be participating in lots of creative activities which will help them to express themselves and discuss their feelings.

ENGLISH

As part of our Wellbeing fortnight for English, we will be focusing our work around the book 'The Secret Sky Garden' by Linda Sarah. This lovely book will give the children the opportunity to demonstrate their writing and reading skills and will link well to our focus on Wellbeing.

After completing the wellbeing fortnight, we will be reading the book 'Traction Man' by Mini Grey.
