What Parents and Educators Need to Know about Worry and Anxiety
At times, growing up can be a stressful experience. It’s not unheard of for young people to fret about things that could potentially go wrong in their lives – and what implications this would have for their life. In some situations, this can go beyond feeling uneasy about the future and become full-blown anxiety, which affects their mental, emotional and even physical wellbeing. While worry and anxiety can originate from many different places, it's immensely important for parents and educators to understand the effect this can have on youngsters – and how best to support them if they’re going through a difficult time. This guide provides insight into the ramifications of worry and anxiety, and how you can help children manage – and hopefully overcome – these challenges.
Year 5 Nurture
In our Nurture lesson we looked at keeping safe over summer. Year 5 researched stranger danger, fire and water safety and train line safety.They made a powerpoint to show others how to keep safe.
Reception RE: Eid.
Reception had their last RE lesson on the topic of "Special Times" and had fun learning about Eid. They took things out of the Chatterbox that were related to Islam such as prayer beads, a prayer mat and prayer hats. They were able to talk about how each thing was used. Then the children who celebrate Eid explained how it was a time to eat and have a party after Ramadan (when they fast from eating, singing and dancing.)
Pre School- Graduation 2024
The children have celebrated their Graduation this week. The children's parents came into nursery to celebrate this special occasion, remembering all the special experiences and progress they have made over the last few years. The children are ready for their new adventure to big school.
Pre School- UTW- Celebrations
We have had lots of fun at our Pre School party. We played party games, popping bubbles and catching balloons with our friends. The children enjoyed being together and sharing the experience of doing different activities for the day.
Nursery- UTW-Celebration
We have had lots of fun playing party games in Nursery. Learning to play pass the parcel and musical chairs and trying to understand that we might not always win. We developed our fine motor skills popping bubbles with our fingers and catching the balloons when they went up into the air. We enjoyed sharing the celebration with the Pre School children.
Year 6 Nurture Lesson
In their nurture lesson, Year 6 created presentations on their chromebooks about how to keep safe. They first chose a specific topic such as water safety, fire safety or stranger danger. After doing some research they then created a powerpoint to present how to protect themselves from dangers.
Year 4 Skills Builder Lesson
Year 4, during their Skills builder lesson, considered the legal system and how people deserve to be given a fair trial. After considering a case, the children debated if a person was innocent or guilty based on some initial facts given about a crime. The class was divided regarding what they thought and one person was brave enough to say they did not know either way. The class then had a debate on what should be the youngest age someone could be sent to court for a crime. The ages ranged from 13 to 20 and the children were excellent at giving the reasons for their arguments.
Year 5 Skills Builder
In our skills builders lesson we used listening, speaking and teamwork skills. Year 5 had to explore three crimes: cyberbullying, vandalism and theft. We had to make notes, including the Mitigating and aggravating circumstances. Then we had to write the most important facts about the crime ready to share with the other groups, using the evidence that we found we formed arguments for and against. They talked about what argument might the prosecution or defence come up with for this point in the crime report. We had to decide on three main arguments you will make in court.
Year 3 French
