Dear Parent/Carer
Crucial Crew On Thursday, 3rd October, 2019, the Year 6 children enjoyed a day at Crucial Crew, The Lifewise Centre at Hellaby. This event is organised by South Yorkshire Police, together with other emergency services, to demonstrate scenarios which happen in everyday life and how to cope with them; what to do in an emergency, etc.
Mental Health Week On Thursday, 10th October, the children supported Mental Health day by wearing something yellow. All week the children explored five ways to wellbeing: be active, take notice, keep learning, give and connect.
Grimm & Co Over the last couple of weeks Grimm & Co have been set up in our hall inspiring the children with their literacy - they have been learning about the founder Graham Grimm and helping him to uncover his memories.
The Year 3 children received a letter from Graham Grimm asking if they could help make a potion to get his memories back. They created a plan for instructional writing to help and followed the instructions carefully. On Friday, 18th October the Year 3 parents had a wonderful afternoon having been invited into school to see the Grimm & Co Project Space and looked at the children’s work.
