A big thank you to everyone who came to ‘tea and talk’ today. I really mean it when I say that it is so valuable to have your support and input into how we can support the mental health of our young people and put wellbeing at the heart of what we do. It was then lovely to invite the students in to do some mindful colouring with us!

Morning all

Over the coming week all secondary students (and some Primary classes) will be receiving their own school email account. Students will be learning about the responsible use of email to communicate online.  Staff may be using email to send work home where appropriate.

Students have been excited to receive their email accounts so please encourage your child to use their email in a responsible manner.

Thanks

Mrs Beckham

To all parents, carers, family, friends… Mr Davis and I are hosting a ‘tea and talk’ afternoon at 1:30pm,Tuesday 8th October at school. This is a chance to hear what we are doing in school to support mental health and well-being for students, staff and the community. It is also a chance to do some mindful colouring with your child at the end of the afternoon. Come along for a cuppa and a chat!!

Hello we are the Head Students at Croft Community School.

Our names are Logan and Orhan.

We were selected by our peers to represent them, our school, and create and make this blog.

We will be updating this blog regularly with events happening in school and any other news we need to share.

Our primary children have been learning all about our primary values,  Our first value was ‘respect’  and we have tried hard to respect each other and to respect the environment.

These children worked particularly hard to show respect around school.

In P1 we have been finding out how to look after our bodies.  We have used the mirror to look at our teeth.  We then followed the instructions to brush some very big teeth!

We practiced being Doctors, nurses and receptionists and found out how to take care of our patients if they were not well or were hurt.  We made sure we washed our hands first so that there were no germs.

P4 have been learning about the value of each digit in numbers. We used lots of concrete apparatus to help us visually see the values. We are very proud of the progress we are making in maths.

P4 were visited by the school nurse as part of our topic, ‘Good to be Me’. The nurse discussed ways to keep our bodies healthy. We came up with some brilliant ideas and there was lots of discussion.

We talked about hygiene, eating healthily, exercise and looking after our teeth.

P4 have been learning how to use inverted commas in English. We learnt the skills by making human sentences and adding body punctuation to the sentences. We then used our new skills in our writing using pictures from our novel, The Demon Dentist as a stimulus.

P4 have been reading The Demon Dentist by David Williams, as part of English lessons.

We have been thinking carefully about the characters in the story and how they were feeling at different points. We used drama to ‘hot seat’ the characters. We really enjoyed taking on different roles. We also used ‘role on the wall’ to discuss emotions and dilemmas within the story.

We can’t wait to find out what happens next!
