GET ACTIVE!
 
Our children, particularly in Key Stage 2 will be very familiar with lots of these events. We have had great success with Sportshall Athletics over the past few years. This might be worth a try at home to keep everyone fit and healthy.
 
I can’t wait to hear about some of your wonderful results too. Give it a try!

Tips for dealing with separation anxiety

  • Create quick good-bye rituals. No matter how you say goodbye, keep the good-bye short and sweet. If you linger, the transition time does too. So will the anxiety.
  • Be consistent. Try to do the same drop-off with the same ritual at the same time each day you separate to avoid unexpected factors whenever you can. A routine can diminish the anxiety and will allow your child to simultaneously build trust in their independence and in you.
  • Watch yourself — and your emotional cues “Children can sense when you’re anxious or concerned about something; it’s called social referencing”.  Children pick up emotional and facial cues from their parents. So if you’re worried about something, though you may not verbalize it, your child may pick up on that vibe and become anxious themselves. So as anxious or sad as you feel, put on a smile and keep going!
  • Practice being apart. Take your child off to grandma’s home, schedule playdates, and allow friends and family to provide child care for you (even for an hour) on the weekend. Also practice your good-bye ritual the same as if you were saying goodbye at school. Give your child a chance to prepare, experience, and thrive in your absence.

Good Morning Year 6! 😀🌈📝
Hope you’re all well and staying safe. We all miss you so much and feels like forever since we were at school.
I have prepared some more work for you all – you need to log in to the Stanhope Primary Platform and look in our Google Classroom for the work. You will find the icon along from the drive at the top of your screen. If you check your school e mails you will find an invite there to join the classroom if you haven’t done so already. From here you should be able to access your own copy of the work for you to type on etc. When completed the file should automatically save or you should be able to click ‘turn in’ at the top of the page. I can’t wait to see how you all get on. I will be checking and setting work on a weekly basis.
 
I have been checking up on Reading Eggspress, Mathletics and Times Tables Rockstars to see who has been logging on – keep doing these activities please, you can access these everyday with your log ins.
 
I do hope you are all coping well at home and doing some other lovely activities too.
 
Stay safe everyone and enjoy!!
 
Love from Mr Rogers, Mrs Craig, Mrs Wardle & Mrs Ainslie xx
