My Happy Mind and Zones of Regulation in Reception, by Mrs Bailey
Date: 14th May 2024 @ 6:21pm
Congratulations to our Reception children who all recieved their Relate certificates today as we finished our Relate module this afternoon. This module focused on friendship, particularly on being a good friend. We learnt about active listening, particulalry focusing on looking, nodding / acknowledging and asking questions.
This week we are practicing doing kind acts for others as our tool for Zones of Regulation. This afternoon we all wrote a kind note to someone else. Some children wrote to their parents or family members, some to other children in their class, some to other children in school and some to staff. We were very busy!
Counting Colours - Zones of Regulation strategy, by Mrs Bailey
Date: 27th Apr 2024 @ 3:02pm
Reception and Year 1 children have both been practicing Counting Colours as their Zones of Regulation strategy this week.
This strategy can be done anywhere and at any time! The idea is that you stop, think of a colour, look around wherever you are, and see if you can find things that have that colour on them. You might want to have a focus e.g. Can you find 10 things that have yellow on them?
This strategy can be helpful if you are feeling a bit worried, upset about something, if you are feeling lonely and also if you feel you have too many thoughts going on in your head.
Active March, by Miss Jones
Date: 1st Mar 2021 @ 3:24pm
Being active everyday not only helps our bodies to be healthy but it is also important for our wellbeing. Doing something active can make you smile and feel good. Why not try the Active March challenge with your family? These are quick activities that you can do daily throughout February. There are even 3 levels of challenge if you like to challenge yourself.
Children's Mental Health Week (1st - 7th February), by Miss Jones
Date: 31st Jan 2021 @ 7:33pm
From 1-7 February 2021 schools, youth groups, organisations and individuals across the UK will take part in Children’s Mental Health Week. This year’s theme is Express Yourself.
Expressing yourself is about finding ways to share feelings, thoughts, or ideas, through creativity. This could be through art, music, writing and poetry, dance and drama, photography and film, and doing activities that make you feel good.
It’s important to remember that being able to express yourself is not about being the best at something or putting on a performance for others. It is about finding a way to show who you are, and how you see the world, that can help you feel good about yourself.
For Children's Mental Health Week 2021 children (and adults) are encouraged to explore the different ways we can express ourselves, and the creative ways that we can share our feelings, our thoughts and our ideas.
Here are some activities that everyone can enjoy this week and beyond.

Year 3 have started to develop their ability to count in 4s and 8s.

We look forward to seeing as many families as possible to the Adrift performance this Tuesday evening in school. The performance is pitched at Key Stage 2 children and will take place in the school hall. Families and children are welcome.
Oldfield Primary School, Action Transport Theatre and the Ignite Teaching School Alliance would like to invite you to our community showing of Adrift:
Two children are in a boat. One is rowing. One is fishing. They dream about a land, a beautiful land that’s waiting for them. A safe land. Adrift is a poignant and important play from acclaimed children’s theatre company Action Transport Theatre. Told from the perspective of two children adrift at sea fleeing conflict, it is a celebration of the resilience and imagination of childhood.
Time - 6.30pm on Tuesday 29th January 2019 at Oldfield Primary School.
Doors open at 6.10pm, refreshments available both before and after.
Please join us after the show for a discussion about the play and how we can develop our curriculum to support our children in their learning.
