Our Spring term so far…
With the evenings beginning to be lighter and the bulbs which we planted in the autumn beginning to grow, it definitely feels like spring is now well and truly on its way. It has been a busy first half term back at school with the children taking part in a variety of different activities. We have started work towards being accredited as an ‘Outstandingly Happy School’ by completing workshops on gratitude and how to fully engage with other people to build great relationships. The children loved getting involved in this and learning new skills. We will continue to work with The Art of Brilliance on this award. Local business Tomorrow’s Forest came and spent a day working with each class discussing the importance of trees and the life of the forest and how it works with other aspects of the natural environment. This was a fascinating day for everyone, learning about different trees and the nature we are surrounded by. As part of Children’s Mental Health Week, the children were treated to a day of Samba workshops, supporting the theme ‘My Voice Matters’ to help them to be heard, and understand how to express their emotions in alternative ways. We were delighted to be able to share this with you at our assembly earlier this week. We have also been busy weaving our thoughts onto the school fencing, we hope you enjoy reading these. Thank you to Mrs Phillips for helping with this project, on a very cold day too! ‘Inspiring Change’ was our theme for Safer Internet Day this week and we learned lots about staying safe online. We have delivered our very own Forest School to Year 3 this half term and are very excited to be planning the development of this site. The PTFA have been busy planning lots of events to raise much needed funds to support the children’s learning. Intra house competitions within our houses finished off a wonderful, fun packed half term today. Don’t forget to check out our blogs and gallery items on the school website to see our learning and experiences here at Hazelbury Bryan Primary School. Thank you for all of your support this half term, we look forward to the final part of our Spring term with you after our break next week.
