A Visit From the School Nurses

By

The school nurses came into reception this morning to talk about the importance of washing our hands. We listened to a lovely story, sang a song and talked about when and how to wash our hands properly.

The nurses also talked to the children about the importance of looking after our teeth by eating healthy food and brushing them twice a day.

 

 

Worry Monster

By

We are currently in the process of setting up access to a ‘worry monster’ in each classroom. This is a place where they can write their name on a post-it note with any worry they may have and “feed” it to the worry monster. This can  happen throughout the day and teaching staff regularly check the worry monsters, find a quiet place to talk to the child and address any worries that they might have. This is an opportunity for the children to share any worries and for us to try and help and offer support.

While the children are not at school, we are aware that they may still have worries or questions that they might want to share or ask. We want to be able to continue to offer this type of support as much as we can while we are currently not in school. So, we have now set up a dedicated email address. This is for the children to use. They can email us with any worries or questions they may have. Mrs Welsh, Mrs Devine and Mrs Mackley will all have access to the email service, so we will hopefully be able to address any worries.

The email address is ineedtotalk@st-bedes.s-tyneside.sch.uk

Reception Visit Hall Hill Farm

By

Reception (and staff) had a brilliant day at Hall Hill Farm yesterday. They got to go on a very bumpy tractor ride, feed the animals, hold rabbits, guinea pigs and chicks and even bottle feed a lamb. Of course the highlight of the day was lunch, which we enjoyed together in the barn!  The children were so beautifully behaved and loved every second of the day. It was such a lovely way to end our year together. Also, a big thank you to our lovely parent helpers.

A Jubilee Celebration in Reception

By

 

Reception have had such a special day today celebrating the Queen’s Jubilee! They came to school wearing red, white and blue, made flags, crowns and even took part in a corgi treasure hunt! This afternoon they sang a song from the 60’s in front of the whole school and enjoyed a picnic and a party. What a brilliant day we have had!

Red Nose Day in Reception

By

Reception have had a brilliant day raising money for Red Nose Day. They got the chance to come to school wearing something red and to buy a red nose and a delicious cake! We talked about how all of the money raised would go to children and families who aren’t as fortunate as we are. Well done Reception!

Special Visitors in Reception

By

Reception had some very exciting visitors this morning! Mr and Mrs Foord very kindly brought their 8 chicks into school; the children absolutely loved holding and stroking them. The visit from the chicks was extra special for the children as we are learning all about Easter and signs of new life in Spring.
