20In PSHE we have discussed ways of keeping safe at home, in school and when out and about.
20During Diversity Day class 4 looked at “a shelter for sadness” by Anne Booth. The book is about a small boy who creates a shelter for his sadness, a safe space where Sadness is welcome, where it can curl up small, or be as big as it can be, where it can be noisy or quiet, or anything in between. The boy can visit the shelter whenever he needs to, every day, sometimes every hour, and the two of them will cry and talk or just sit, saying nothing. We discussed whether you should ever pretend you don’t feel a certain emotion.
18The class listened attentively to the importance of Martin Luther King Jnr today, in a week where his inspirational life was remembered in the USA.
17As Holocaust Memorial Day approaches this week, the children of Class 2 listened attentively as they learned about this time in history and the theme of discrimination.
19The class enjoyed listening to author Lucy Farfort this morning, after enjoying her book ‘In our Hands’ – a book about hope, unity and positivity! They also drew characters who would transform the world! The book links in well with the upcoming Mental Health and Wellbeing Week.
14We were visited by Everton FC football players, Lewis Dobbin and Joao Virginia who took the time out of their busy training schedule to visit school to play a competitive game of bench ball with some pupils.

48The children discussed the importance of being safe online this afternoon and the need to make common sense decisions and always speak to a trusted adult.
12The children learned that their voice matters – by expressing their feelings and understanding their rights, children can improve their mental health.
10During Diversity Day class 3 looked at the book “Buster the Bully” by Maisha Oso. The book is about a fish that picks on and bullies other little fish. He then goes out to sea and gets bullied by a shark and killer whale. The book gives both perspectives of being the bully and bullied. We discussed what it feels like to be bullied.
17This diversity day, we used the story ‘Walk Tall’ as our stimulus to explore the P4C question ‘Do people always know that they are bully?”
The children discussed strategies on how to deal with worries this afternoon – why sharing worries is important and which adults can be trusted to speak to. The class also watched a 1Decision clip before choosing the best action.

8Our PSHE lessons have been focusing on the emotions of worry and anger this half term.
8For Diversity day class 3 read the book “Talking is not my thing” which is about a autistic girl who uses non verbal communication to communicate. We explored different ways we can communicate and what ways we can help.
11The children thought carefully this afternoon about the things that should and shouldn’t be shared online. They made a common sense decision using the 1Decision clip!
