During this week’s Hummingbird Project workshop, we learned to identify our character strengths. We had to narrow down our many strengths to just 5. Some of us chose humour, forgiving, grateful, considerate and creative to name a few. We are always developing and building on our strengths.
Year 3 Blue had a session with Chris Reddy from the Bright Leaders.
Their focus was to use their own initiative and leadership skills.
The children worked in pairs, learning to take turns and showing the importance of playing their own part to complete their task within a time scale, also to consider the ideas of others.
year 8 children at Rivington and Blackrod High School are supporting Bolton Destitute Animal Shelter this Christmas. If you are able to donate a small toy or treat please bring to school by Friday 12th December. Thank you 🐶 🐈⬛
Today the children focused on how they can slow down and relax in a space. We used all of our senses to focus the mind. The children did a great job trying to guess some of the scents and then reflected in which ones they liked and didn’t like.
This morning, year 3 have been to St John’s Church to learn about how christians celebrate Christmas.
Year 3 had their session with Bright Leaders. We practised our listening and cooperation skills. We had to think about working together to complete tasks and learned that it is important to play our part, consider the ideas of others and do the right thing even when no one is watching.
Thank you so much to Dave and friends from Yunex Traffic who came to school today to talk to the children about road safety. As you can see the children were very involved with the session!
Yesterday, year 3 blue, attended an ICT workshop at Smithills high school.
The children paired up to make different robots using Lego and motor pieces, they also used an iPad to for programming to make their robots move and change colour and to add sound.
The children were amazing and really enjoyed their day.
Ian from MedEquip4Kids came in today to launch The Humming Bird Project. The children will have a session each week for the next 6 weeks to learn about ways they can help themselves to feel happier, look after their own well-being and build resilience.
Today, we focused on what makes us happy and discussed how life is full of ups and downs and that we can try to turn to the things that make us feel happy in life’s downs. We talked about how we can make choices if we feel sad, upset, disappointed and angry. There are things we can control and things that we can’t but we can always control how we react and respond.
Year 3 Blue discussed the leadership structure within school and realised that they play a very important role in making school a successful and happy place to learn.
The children practised stopping when ready and following instructions. They talked about role modelling the correct behaviour for their peers. Leaders in the making!
