Last week as part of our 50th celebrations every child received a birthday bag with some treats. Thank you to past pupil Trevor McGerrigle for this lovely poem that we were able to put in the birthday bags.
This week we had lots of fun again with Kathleen. We sang a new song about a bunny for Easter and Kathleen treated us with some music by playing her ukulele as we sang along. We explored fast and slow music too. Thank you for another fantastic session Jo and Kathleen. 😁
- The children in Year 2 and Year 5 have been enjoying Parental Involvement in Numeracy. The children had the opportunity to take home numeracy games to play with their parents. Well done to all the children and grown ups!!

Today we had our 3rd week of Families Connect. We talked about the importance of giving your child praise and we also looked at the different types of praise.
It made us all think about how often we actually praise our children and the different ways in which we do it.
When the children came to join us, they spent some time making a Superstar Award with their Mummy. They will use this at home to pick someone each day to be the Superstar and they will talk about why that family member deserves to get the award.
Praising our children will help develop their self esteem and self confidence so let’s all think and speak positively to our children. 💙
