In our Year 5 confidence groups, we have been looking at how we can build up our resilience. We used a tree model to think about what grounds us (the roots) and what pushes us over (the wind).
The children thought hard about the things they love, care for and do to help them when things are a challenge, all the things that keep them standing tall.
They then thought about all the worries, challenges and fears they have that make them doubt themselves.

Our Wellbeing Room has been up and running since November. It is a special place in school, created for a calm, informal, confidential, safe and secure place for pupils to share their thoughts and feelings and to seek help and support.
Ms Clarke also carries out small group work in here with some children who need support to build up their resilience, self-efficacy, positivity and motivation.
Baking is a fun way to entertain everyone!!

Give this quick and easy play dough recipe a go to keep you entertained.
There’s something weirdly therapeutic about kneeding this squashy substance into shapes that makes it irresistible to join the little ones and release your inner creativity.
In fact, play dough has proven to be so relaxing for both kids and grown ups alike.
Step one
Add the flour, salt, cream of tartar and vegetable oil to the saucepan.
Step two
Add some food colouring to a cup of water, then pour into the saucepan.
Step three
Stir over a medium heat, until the mixture becomes a sticky, combined dough. Allow it to cool.
Step four
