Our Wellbeing
Autumn 1 - Year 1
The children explored how taking part in physical activity can help to support well-being and promote positive mental-health. Throughout the day they took part in chair yoga and PE sessions. They further explored other activities that can be used to help to keep them calm and happy: mindful colouring, breathing and music.
Autumn 2 - Year 6
For our Thrive at Throckley day, we explored our ‘well-being.’ The children created messages of positivity and delivered them around school for children and staff members to find. We wanted to boost someone’s day with kind words.
Spring 1 - Year 5
Year 5 have been exploring their physical wellbeing as well as their financial wellbeing. During a trip to their local Sainsbury’s, children looked at food labels to see how healthy packed lunch items are and also how much they cost. Children compared the cost of a packed lunch to a school dinner and designed their own, healthy, cost effective packed lunches.
Spring 2 - Year 4
Year 4’s Thrive Day this half term was all about ‘Our Wellbeing.’ The children focused on being comfortable, healthy and happy by attending school in their pyjamas or comfy clothes and practicing mindfulness activities such as colouring and painting with an Easter theme. Year 4 absolutely loved their food and nutrition unit in DT this year, so to spread happiness throughout the cohort, the children made chocolate crispy cakes and decorated with mini Easter eggs!
