Today years 5 and 6 have had an assembly to learn and discuss online safety.

This week in PSHE Class 12 practiced mindfulness breathing exercises. 

We also did light, moderate and vigorous exercises and discussed their effects on our body and minds.

This week, we discussed what foods can make a healthy lifestyle. The children looked at different food diaries, and different food labels, and discussed what snacks they thought each person should have based on their existing diet.

Today we looked at jobs and salaries.

We discussed different pay structures and hourly rates vs salaries. We looked at some different roles and their salaries.

To celebrate Neurodiversity Day, class 11 did some work along side the Pixar film Loop. 

We also enjoyed reading some stories about children with different needs.
