We all returned to the classroom before Easter after a long 3 months of remote learning. We were all very excited to return to school, but it can still be very challenging adjusting to ‘normal’ school life again. We talked about the 5 ways to help our mental well-being.
Evidence suggests there are 5 steps you can take to improve your mental health and wellbeing. Trying these things could help you feel more positive and able to get the most out of life. One of the five is exercise. Before Easter we decided to take part in an exercise challenge!!!
This week, over the course of 4 days, we will be skipping for one whole hour!
Check out the video and photos from today! Mrs McClelland is joining in too of course but she isn’t half as fit as the Y5/6 boys and girls!
Our challenge will be documented here every day so stay tuned!
This week we have enjoyed many fun Easter activities starting off with listening to the Easter story. After listening to the story about Jesus dying on the cross and being raised to life again we wondered why eggs were such a big part of Easter, eating them, decorating them and even playing hide and seek with them! Did you know that eggs are a sign of new life? We learned lots about how eggs activities come from church leaders not eating eggs during Holy Week and they needed to do something with all of the eggs at home so they decorated them and distributed them to the children.
In school we enjoyed decorating our eggs and creating fantastic scenes which had been extremely well-planned at home. You will see our pictures below of what we have created!
The next day we decorated Easter cards to hang around our houses, we made beautiful eggs using paint and used old cardboard tubes to create a bunny. You won’t believe what happened next! As we hung our Easter bunny up to dry by the window we heard a knock, to our surprise it was the Easter bunny waving us outside, so we followed him! He had hid so many eggs around the school and our job was to find the colour he left for our class. What a busy few days it’s been!
Have a lovely Easter everyone, stay safe!

We were so 'eggcited' today when Thea noticed somebody outside in our playground....THE EASTER BUNNY! We couldn't believe that he came to visit us today and he even left us some treats in our playground. Look at all of these happy faces.
Happy Easter boys and girls :)
Well done to all of the boys and girls for their hard work making their wonderful egg creations. They were all fantastic but we had to choose some winners in each class. Samantha and Cherry from the kitchen had the very difficult job of choosing a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in each class.
Well done to everyone for taking part.
Happy Easter :)
Year 2/3 were very busy this week creating their egg masterpieces. We also loved having a look around the hall at all the other egg creations. Have a look at our photos and see if you can find your child’s egg.
Making the most of the beautiful weather today and making fun memories with our friends ❤️
Y5/6 were all working so hard this morning, when all of a sudden, there was a knock at our classroom window! It was the Easter bunny! We were all invited outside to hunt for all the pink eggs!
It was all very exciting 🤩🤩🤩
Check out our video and photos!
All the boys and girls were busy doing their work today when they heard a big knock at the window. Mrs Pollock opened the blinds and what a surprise we got when we saw the Easter Bunny looking in at us. The Easter Bunny left everyone a little chocolate bunny and we had to search on the playground to find them. We had so much fun 😊
