Hello Yellow Day – Friday 9th October

HELLO YELLOW IS BACK! 💛Friday 9th October 💛

We’re excited to be supporting YoungMinds Hello Yellow again this year, raising awareness of children and young people’s mental health.
💛 Wear Yellow!
We’re asking all children to come to school wearing something yellow on Friday 9th October to help us turn our school yellow and show young people that they’re not alone with their mental health.

This could be a yellow T-shirt, jumper, socks, hair accessory – or as much yellow as you like!

Our School’s Christian Values – Truthfulness

Our School’s Christian Values – Truthfulness

Dear Parents/Carers,

At Myddle, our Christian values guide and inspire us each day. This half term, we are focusing on the value of Truthfulness — being honest in our words and actions, acting with integrity, and building trust in our relationships with others.

Through our worship, lessons and daily interactions, we will encourage children to reflect on truthfulness by:

– Learning from the example of Jesus, who taught the importance of truth, honesty and living with integrity.
– Exploring why telling the truth matters, even when it is difficult, and how honesty helps build trust and strong relationships.
– Encouraging children to be truthful in their choices, take responsibility for their actions, and speak with kindness and respect.

We invite you to join us in exploring this value at home by talking about the importance of honesty and trust in everyday life. This could include discussing how it feels when people are truthful, how to make things right after a mistake, and how being honest helps us grow. Please see the link for ideas on how you can explore this value together as a family.

Hello Yellow – World Mental Health Day

Dear parents and carers,
Our school will be taking part in Hello Yellow on Friday 10th October (World
Mental Health Day) to raise awareness and funds for YoungMinds, the UK’s
leading charity for young people’s mental health.
No young person should feel alone with their mental health and that’s why
Hello Yellow matters. We’re taking this opportunity as a school community to
come together and show our students that we’re with them and they’re never
alone with their mental health.

We’ll be taking part by wearing YELLOW on Friday 10th October.

You can also donate to support our school’s fundraising YoungMinds – Myddle CE Primary School

Most importantly, we want to share the resources which YoungMinds offer to
support parents and carers if you ever need help and advice to support your
children. This includes:
• online resources (www.youngminds.org.uk/parent/)
• a phone line, open 9.30am-4pm (0808 802 5544)
• an online chat for parents and carers to speak to trained
professionals if you’re concerned about your children’s mental
health (www.youngminds.org.uk/parents-helpline/)

 

Growing and growing!

Over the past couple of weeks, Pandas have been exploring many different life cycles and finding out about how things grow. The class tadpoles are currently enjoying their time – Pandas are helping to take good care of them. A couple of the froglets have been released into their new home in forest school.

We have potted a few of the beans which sprouted in our greenhouses – hopefully they will grow big and strong!

Pandas have been learning about lifecycles of frogs, butterflies and honey bees. They have been fascinated to see the eggs and they develop. We enjoyed making and eating honey sandwiches yesterday in the sun!

Another fun week!

Pandas were really lucky to have a surprise visit from fire fighters on Friday morning. They brought their fire engine and the children all had a sit inside. Friday afternoon was very busy too! Pandas and Snow Leopards invited special ladies in to celebrate Mother’s Day. Cakes and sweet treats were enjoyed in the sunshine.

Pandas have been exploring patterns – they have been continuing patterns, identifying patterns in everyday life and creating their own patterns. On Tuesday we created decorative crosses to hang up at Easter time. The children were great at winding wool and thread around twigs to make their crosses.

Super Writer of the Week is proving to be very popular and is really motivating the children to be brave and have a go at writing independently! We have seen some amazing examples of using phonic knowledge to sound and write familiar and unfamiliar words. Keep up the great work Pandas!

Amazing animals!

Pandas had such a busy week last week. As part of their journey into the lives of pets and vets, they were lucky enough to have a range of furry (and not so furry) visitors. The children were excited to meet fun and energetic sausage dogs, a wonderfully calm cockapoo, a beautiful pony, a terrific tortoise, a lovely lamb and a little piglet too! Wow! Very lucky Pandas!

The vets role play is a popular choice during child initiated time. Pandas are really enjoying all of the enhancements around the classroom and outside. The outside area is taking shape and it’s lovely to see some beautiful plants growing in a variety of pots. Pandas are making sure they are watered and well cared for. The construction area is being developed along with a fun, outdoor creative station. Pandas are making great progress in their phonics and they have been trying hard to use their phonics knowledge to write sentences – even using capital letters and full stops! They are all working really hard to be ‘Super Writer of the Week’.

Keep up the great work, Pandas. We are looking forward to another fun packed week.
