Transition
This time of year can see anxieties raise in parents and children with the apprehension over changing classes. This year is particularly difficult with Covid regulations meaning that we are not able to run the usual transition activities. I am providing whole class transition support to years 3 and 6 and teachers will be running activities to support children as much as possible.
Please find below some useful information about supporting your child at home and a lovely booklet of summer holiday activities.
If you would like paper copie of any of these please contact me before the end of term.

Mental Health and Well-being
Looking after our mental health and well-being is vitally important to help us live happy and fulfilling lives. The current situation can put extra stress on our mental health and has highlighted the importance of looking after the mental health of ourselves and our children.
Many of the ways to improve are mental health are simple:
Talk to people about how you are feeling.
Give yourself goals and treats.
Be kind to yourself – make time for something you enjoy every day. Even if just a quiet hot drink, some knitting, reading or a walk.
Use strategies to calm when feeling stressed.
If you have any concerns or need some support for yourself or your children please contact Mrs Hull:
