Children have the right to protection and freedom from war. To celebrate how lucky we are to live in a country where we are not affected by war, and to show our respect for those who have lost their lives or thought for their freedom, we are decorating poppies and displaying them around school.
This week classes in school have been watching videos and doing activities from Buckfastleigh Abbey. In year four we talked about what makes us happy and had some quiet time with some happy music.
In year five we watched some videos about calm places and talked about where we can go to help calm down. Hopefully you did some exciting or calming activities too!
Today everyone is dressed in yellow for Hello Yellow day. This is to remind us that we can all find time each day to find happiness and do things that make us feel calm. The money you donate today will go to help young people and children who are finding this hard. Young minds is a group of lovely people who are helping young people and children find their happy place. They do lots of work to look after these children and teach them skills to make their minds healthy.
