The World Health Organisation recognises World Mental Health Day on 10 October every year. This year’s theme set by the World Federation for Mental Health is mental health for all.
The day provides an opportunity to raise awareness of mental health and encourages people to prioritise their mental wellbeing.
Miss Coils will be putting new activities on our Virtual Mindful Moment Classroom to support our children’s mental health – some will have a limited availability so do not miss out!
Parents are welcome to use this booklet to support their Mental Health.
Year 4 have had a very busy week…
English:
The children explored the different features of what makes a good persuasive advertising poster.
Maths:
We used the peg boards and loom bands to create symmetrical shapes with our partner. Can you spot which ones are symmetrical and show the line of symmetry? Can you spot any that are NOT symmetrical?
We even attempted to create a symmetrical repeated pattern later in the week.
Science:
This week we explored the differences between conducting and insulating materials. Firstly, we made a complete circuit, followed by introducing different materials such as paper clips, rubbers, plastic rulers, metal spoons to name a few. We made predictions, experimented and explained why they were/ weren’t good conductors/insulators.
On Thursday, Year 2 have really enjoyed their Art lesson.
The children are learning all about Aboriginal Art this half term. Today, they were creating paintings using the Aboriginal dot design.
Maths
This week Year 4 have worked with 2d shapes, looking for lines of symmetry. We used mirrors to help check the reflection, identify the lines of symmetry and we attempted to draw the reflection. We did a fantastic job!
History
Our topic this half term is the Mayan’s. We looked at their existence and development by arranging a time line. We did this in groups to support each other.
Spellings & Computing
Year 4 have been exploring a new way to complete our spellings this year (electronically). We have had a few hiccups over the last few weeks but we have finally cracked it! The children were very impressed and excited at using a QR code to access spellings this week. Well done Year 4! Keep working hard on your spellings and let’s see if we can get more children achieving 10/10. Remember you can find your spellings in your google classroom.
Dear Parent and Carers,
You will probably be aware that many school settings have been advised to close to particular ‘bubbles’ or year groups as they have been told to isolate. For the last few weeks we have managed here at Stanhope Primary, to run to capacity, however there may be a time in the very near future when we may have to close to a year group or year groups.
Unfortunately, a closure of this type will be at very short notice. You will be notified of a closure via our website, Facebook page, as well as our text messaging service.
We will all do our best to remain open however the safety of our children and staff is paramount.
Thank you for all your support since we returned in September.
Mrs L A Martin
