Starting Friday 5th February, we're excited to introduce....

Wellbeing Wednesday and Feel Good Friday

On these two afternoons each week, we are encouraging the children to reduce their 'screen time' and take part in a range of meaningful activities which they will still learn a lot from, but will also support their wellbeing and encourage positivity. 

On Wednesdays and Fridays, your child's class teacher will not set a project / non-core subject lesson on google classroom. There will still be English, Maths and Guided Reading which the children will be expected to complete, but the below activities will replace any additional lessons on these days and encourage them to put the laptop / ipad / tablet down, often get outside and take part in something different. 

We will be continuing to add to the menu of activities below, and also be including some links to sites with suggestions, pictures, examples, how to's etc to support them. 

Children should choose one activity from the list below every Wednesday and Friday afternoon. We would love to hear / see how they get on. Please feel free to share photos with us which we can tweet / put on our school website with your permission. These should be sent to your child's class email address, e.g 3p@rosehill-juniors.co.uk for Mrs Pritchard's Class. 

Thank you and enjoy!
