This week is Children’s Mental Health week! We are going to be taking part in lots of activities in crew all linked to this years theme – Let’s Connect!
We started this morning by using lots of objects around our classroom to make connections! Great team work everyone.

We had a busy crew meeting this morning! We have been thinking about why it is important to be not just physically healthy, but mentally healthy too. We created an anchor chart – we have pledged to try as many of the things on our mental health list before the end of the year! Great job Crew Parsons xx
We started our morning yesterday reflecting on how we were feeling using our zones of regulation. Next we thought about how the characters in our core text might be feeling at different points in the story. We had some very mature conversations – great job year two.
This morning in crew after we had shared our roses and thorns from over the break and we recapped what collaboration is. Next we used those skills to play ColourBrain – we decided the key to collaboration was to communicate!
Today we have ticked the next mission on our bingo board. We thought about everyone in our community who we wanted to thank – we made cards and have been busy delivering them across the campus! Check out the rest of our photographs – there is a special card for our parents and adults at home too 🌟
Kindness doesn’t just stop when we finish school. Willow and her mummy have been busy spreading Christmas kindness by making Christmas hot chocolate bombs for everyone in class 5. Just look at all these happy smiles all caused by a little kindness ❤️
Keep it up class five! You’re making our class a very special place to be 🌟

We have been set a bingo mission to spread Christmas kindness across Norton Infant School.
We started by writing all the beautiful things we could think of about our school. We sneaked into Miss Tunney’s office and stuck them all over her door.
Keep an eye out for our next Christmassy act of kindness 🎁

We spent our Mindful Monday crew thinking about human rights. We had a chat about the difference between wanting something and needing it. We discussed what our rights are as a human and we learned that in some parts of the world people are not living with access to their basic human rights. We are eager to spend some time in crew thinking about how we can make a difference to these people.
Our guiding question in crew today was ’What makes a good friend?’ We thought about Andy and Woody, Lilo and Stitch and Mr Bean and Teddy and what made them such good friend. Then we worked together to sort different scenarios into whether they were things that would make us a good friend or a not so good friend.
We finished off with reading The Selfish Crocodile – maybe you would like to watch it again? https://youtu.be/0-NhjfJ_RZI
Our check out was sharing what makes us a good friend – we felt really proud hearing our friends say such lovely things about us.
