Year 5 Phasels Wood and sleepover at school
Fri 30 Jun 2023Yesterday, Year 5 had a fantastic day at Phasels Wood, getting involved in climbing, shelter building, crawling through dark tunnels and playing human "Hungry Hippos".
The day was a success, with everyone worn out, but it wasn't over yet....
Back at school the children got involved in preparing and cooking their own dinner, which was very much welcome. After dinner, they sang silly songs, had hot chocolate and watched a movie before settling down for the night. We don't think the children got a lot of sleep, but we are pretty sure they all had a great experience! Thanks to everyone who organised this amazing trip and sleep well...

Year 5 Visit to Watford Football Club
Fri 23 Jun 2023On Thursday, we went to Watford stadium for an outstanding school trip. We joined in with two main activities: a stadium tour and a workshop. On the tour we explored facilities such as the changing rooms which the away changing room was way worse than the home changing room. We sat in the substitute area and it was really comfy. We also learnt about the legends such as Luther Blissit and many more players. We also had a workshop about bullying and including people. In that time we had to draw a picture of anything you like and then when we finished we had to scrunch it up and then unscrunch it that taught us to not hurt someone's feelings.

Mental Health Support Team (MHST)
Fri 09 Jun 2023We are very excited to be part of a new Mental Health Support Team (MHST) in Watford. MHSTs work in partnership with schools and other services to offer a wide range of mental health and wellbeing support for children and young people, as well as parents and carers. We will have Charlotte Fletcher, a trainee Education Mental Health Practitioner (EMHP) based at our school for a day a week, she will be able to support parents and children in a variety of different ways. If you think your child is experiencing a mild to moderate mental health need such as anxiety, stress, low mood, lack of resilience and this is affecting them day to day then please contact Mrs Drake and she will be able to discuss the MHST process in more detail or signpost you to further support.
