• World of Possibilities visitor - radiologist

  Tue 18 Feb 2025

  Dr. Youssef Mentias came to see us. He is a radiologist which means he looks at x rays and diagnoses what is wrong with patients. He told us that he loves his job because he loves problem solving. We had lots of questions for him and he was very interesting to listen to. Youssef is originally from Egypt and trained over there but has worked here for quite a few years now. 

  

• Mental Health Week

  Fri 07 Feb 2025

  We have had a brilliant week for Mental Health Week. On Monday we had an assembly with Mrs Abbott. She taught us that knowing ourselves is very important and this week we have been asking ourselves the following questions:

  What am I good at?

  What brings me joy?

  What makes me fearful?

  What makes me anxious?

  We need to pick the right emotion for the right situation to be a healthier, happier person. When we know ourselves well, we can grow our resilience. Mrs Abbott shared with us that she started to learn to roller skate a while ago but gave up on it. She thinks she should have been more resilient so she has been trying to practice more. See the picture for proof!

  This week reception have been thinking about ways we can relax - they had a lovely relaxing time cloud watching and having a mini pamper session! 

  Today (Friday) we all wore bright clothes to school - wearing bright colours can boost our mental health by stimulating positive emotions. Mrs Sands boosted the mental health of all of us by coming to school in extra specially bright clothes! Head over to our school website to see some pictures of our work.

  

• World of Possibilities visitors - Women in Property

  Fri 07 Feb 2025

  As part of our ‘World of Possibilities’ project we welcomed four visitors into school on Thursday of this week. The four ladies came to chat to us about lots of different jobs and encouraged us to think about the stereotypes sometimes associated with them. We often think of builders, architects and estate agents as men but we thought about how this is not necessarily the case. These are career paths open to everyone.

  After a whole school assembly we all enjoyed a workshop where we thought about some of the key skills needed to work in the property and construction industry – focusing particularly on teamwork, oracy skills, creativity and developing ideas. We all designed our own buildings, created them using construction materials and evaluated them. What could we have done better?
