We rounded off a very busy wellbeing week with a day of Circus Skills Workshops with Dance Fusion Circus. Everyone got the chance to have a go with a variety of different pieces of equipment and to have a go at mastering a new skill or two. The perseverance shown by each and every child was incredible to see. Witnessing the joy on their faces as they shared their successes with each other was an excellent way to end a busy half term.

We had lots and lots of entries into our wellbeing-themed colouring and drawing competitions last week and it was very tricky to narrow all of those down to a few of our favourites! The successful children were very excited to choose a prize from our big box of goodies. Well done to everyone who entered and an even bigger congratulations to our winners.

Today has been action-packed and full of wellbeing activities. The morning began with some live music, where the children sang and danced their way to break time. Our ambassadors then ran a wellbeing treasure hunt at lunch time. This afternoon, most of the school gathered in the hall for a movie, colouring and flapjack making. What an exciting day!

We would like to also say a special thank you to our wonderful Friends of School who kindly purchased musical instruments for our children to play at lunch time. They used them for the first time today and we can already tell that we are going to have some amazing musicians in school. @fos_chardstockprimary

Today was day three of our wellbeing week. We enjoyed an extra disco at lunch time, we also had our bubble machine out and then this afternoon our older children enjoyed a buddy reading session with our younger children.

Yesterday was day two of our wellbeing week and a non school uniform day with a theme of 'wear what you love'. The children were super excited to be able to eat their pudding first if they wanted to at lunch time. They also enjoyed some super sports activities which were planned by our play leaders. This included running races, hurdles and penalty shoot outs. We were then very fortunate to have a visit from Rev'd Nicky who came to hold a special wellbeing worship.

Yesterday we kicked off wellbeing week! The oldest children also took part in a mini End-Zone tournament during their lunch break. We also began our colouring and drawing competition. The highlight of the day though was getting to sit WHEREVER THEY WANTED in the dining hall. It was great to see so many classes muddled together and lots of laughs and conversation happening.

We were very lucky to attend a whole school trip yesterday to watch Jack and the Beanstalk. Two of our pupils were picked to go up on stage and we could not be prouder of all of our children for the brilliant way in which they represented our school. Special thanks must go to Miss Williamson for organising this trip and to our volunteers and staff for making it possible.

We want to say a huge well done to our wonderful superstars in Reception and KS1. They put on an incredible performance for their nativity this year and we could not be prouder of them!

Yesterday, our wonderful Friends of School team came in to school to support the children with making their Christingles. We were then joined by RVD Nicky who came in to school for worship to teach the children about what each part of the Christingle represents. Thank you to all local businesses who donated items for these.
