Mental Health Awareness Day 20222- 'Growing Together'

 The children spoke about what activities they enjoy doing when they are experiencing emotions such as stress, sadness and anger. 



"When I feel sad I play football with my Dad."

"When I feel angry I like to play rugby to feel happy."

"When I feel anxious I like to do art."


"When I feel stressed I like to talk to someone"


Making cave art

 To make the cave art we covered the cardboard with rice and lentils to replicated the rocks on a cave wall. 

We then painted the cardboard to make it the same colour as a cave wall. 

Finally, we drew pictures of animals and cave people hunting on our 'cave wall' - year 3. 



















Stone Age WOW day

 


Year three work collaboratively to make 'Biscuit Henge'














We made a fire and toasted marshmallows around the fire. 




"We turned the tables over and drew on the paper to draw cave paintings.

Lion in Paris

He was a big lion.  A young, curious and lonely lion.  He was bored at home on the grasslands, and so one day he set off to find a job, love and a future. He arrived in Paris by train, without any luggage.  It was the first time he had been in a big city.  Naturally it was a little scary.

The lion waited to see if he would terrify anyone.  He wondered if people would start screaming, if they would step aside in horror as he passed or if they would pursue him with rifle shots. The people were hurrying around with a strange kind of sword under their arms, but nobody thought about attacking him.  That surprised him.  

Puzzled, the lion went down into the Metro.  The people on the platform hardly even glanced at him.  So then he roared very loudly to make them turn around and look at him.  More than anything, the lion liked to be noticed and he thought it was very sad to be ignored.  When he went out into the street, it started to rain.  That made him think of his lovely sunny grasslands and he felt sad.  He turned all grey and shiny like the roofs around him.  In the middle of a square he saw a huge factory, with workers going up and down in a transparent pipe.  The sun came out again, making the building explode into a thousand stars of light.  He stood there gasping at it.

At last a girl noticed him and her eyes followed him for a while with a loving, tender look. The lion’s heart was beating very fast as he continued his long walk.  At the top of an endless flight of steps he saw a white castle.  “It looks like a cream cake, doesn’t it?” said an old lady, smiling at him.

“Grrr!” replied the lion.  They went back down all the steps together. Then he came to an enormous iron tower and he trembled with fear.  He climbed right to the top and the people below looked like ants.  He absolutely loved it. The city that had appeared so dreary and frightening now seemed to be smiling at him with all its windows.

 

At a big crossroads, he stopped abruptly.  There was a beautiful plinth standing in front of him.  The lion climbed up onto it, put his two paws together and gave a loud roar of joy “Roaaaaaaar!”  Then hundreds of cars tooted their horns to welcome him. “This is the place for me,” said the lion, grinning.  He looked into the distance and decided to stay.  Perfectly still and happy.

Today you are going to write the story of what happened to Toki in your own words.
