Parents & Carers
This week is Mental Health Awareness Week. This is an area we constantly give lots of attention to in school (in an age appropriate way), particularly over the course of the pandemic.
Below links to a nice resource with some suggested activities that you and your child may like to do together at home.
The theme for this year's Mental Health Awareness Week is nature.

This year we have been involved in the Sheffield Healthy Minds Project. Part of this project involves recruiting a team of 'Healthy Minds Champions' to work together to find ways to improve the support for emotional well-being across school.
We asked for children to send in their application, explaining why they were interested in becoming a Healthy Mind Champion. We were so impressed with the creative videos, songs, posters and poems, where children explained how they would help others keep a healthy mind and stay happy and positive.
Due to so many applications from children so keen to help others we had to go to an election process. Children voted for the classmate that impressed them the most.
Here are the children that received the most votes to make up our team of Beighton Healthy Minds Champions.
Over the past two weeks we have been talking about Fairtrade Fortnight and what Fairtrade is and why it is important.
Exploited
means making someone work in an unfair way to make more money. Farmers in
developing countries work extremely hard to produce our food and they get very
little money for what they do. The food then gets shipped over to our country
and sold in markets and supermarkets at a higher cost.
Do you
think this is fair or unfair?
How can we support farmers in developing countries in a fair way?
By choosing to buy
Fairtrade products, you are helping to improve the lives of many families and
this is fairer for everyone!
Wow have had such a fantastic Science day! We have taken part in so many experiments, watched lots of reactions take place, observed over time, recorded results and had great discussions! It has been great to see such enthusiasm from the children both in school and learning at home via zoom or pictures sent in. The buzz of excitement has been so lovely to see.
One Piece At A Time
"Life is a giant puzzle. Every
day we need to piece together all of the things that help to make us smile."
Inspired by Children's Mental Health Week, 1st -
7th February, we would like to
share a new challenge with you.
Thank you for all your creativity on our Vocabulary Day! We had a wonderful time, explaining and using our words throughout the day. The children were so proud and could all explain the meaning of their words and use them in a sentence. There was a really excited buzz around the school and, as always, we are vey grateful for all your support.
I would like to introduce everyone to our new Beighton Bee school council members. They were chosen by their class peers and I am very pleased to have them become part of the council. I am sure they make a positive impact this year! Well done everyone!

This week our Reception children went on an adventure to the local woods. They made us extremely proud, keeping themselves safe and displaying excellent behaviour. They had a fantastic time working in teams to build homes for woodland animals and engaging in storytelling for our story 'One Snowy Night'. This was a fantastic learning opportunity for the children and they were all inspired to continue this learning back in school.
Well done Reception!
Hi everyone
I hope you all had fun joining in with the Funky Feet Friday last week as part of our Active Travel Challenge. Some of you sent some photographs in which I loved to see, here they are. I hope you continue to walk to school as best you can for the rest of the week. We can do this Beighton Nursery Infant School!
