This week bubbling volcanoes!

Fun science activity week 4

The purpose of this weeks activity is to bring awareness to ourselves focussed on Gratitude, Positivity and Connection

What benefit does a practice based on Gratitude give to us?

Studies have shown that it can….

Decreases stress and anxiety
Increases happiness
Makes us more resilient
Improves sleep
Reduces materialism
Makes us more socially intelligent
Strengthens relationships
Makes us kinder
And even makes us more likely to feel love.

What you need: Coloured paper to cut out flower parts, Glue, Scissors, Grateful hearts

What to do:

1. Find fun coloured paper for your gratitude flowers.
2. Start by cutting out a circle for the centre of the flower and write your name (or your child’s name on it). Make it big enough so that you have ample space to write.
3. Next cut out big petals for the flower. Be creative and experiment with colours.
4. Write down or draw the things you are grateful for on the petals. If your child is old enough, he can write his own; if not, then you can help him with that. You can draw pictures, too.
5. Glue the petals to the flower centre and you have your first gratitude flower!

If you have more than one child in your family then you can start to grow a ‘gratitude garden’. Send us your pictures of your flowers and we can grow a garden for Croft.

With big friendliness

Following the Prime Minister’s latest announcement regarding slowly increasing the numbers of pupils in schools, we are considering carefully how we can achieve this safely at Croft. We have been working this week on what school could possible look like and how it would work. As soon as we have a potential plan, we will let you know.

Hi all,

I am looking forward to positive times and being back at school (whenever and however this happens)

I would like each student to try and complete a task and bring it into school when we are back (if possible and if you are able to print this or do it on a computer.) If you would like one posted out let me know.

Attached to this message is a blank template for a piece of bunting. If all children could fill the bunting with something positive they have done during lockdown, a positive feeling they have had, something they have learned or appreciated or something they now have found to be very important. Be as creative as possible – photos, pictures, words, symbols….

Then when they all come back to school I will cut them out and make a giant bunting that represents the school community coming back together with a positive message on it.

Enjoy! Do more than one if you like.

Hi everyone,

Next week (18th-25th May) is Mental Health Awareness Week. The theme this year is ‘kindness.’

We know that this is a really tough time for people and the current situation may be impacting negatively on our mental health.

Students – when you are in school, you have Teachers, Teaching Assistants, Senior Leaders, Cleaners, Governors, Site Managers, Caretakers, ICT technician, reception staff. At this time, the people that are looking after you have to do all of these jobs and that is really tough!

Here are some ideas for how you could show kindness to them

• make a card saying thank you
• make them a nice drink
• help with the jobs around the house or garden
• say thank you
• give them a day off!!

Take some photos of your act of kindness and send to l.herkes@croft.school and I will post them up during Mental Health Awareness Week.

Watch out for some activities to do next week also!

Stay safe and keep smiling
