Key Stage 2: Staying Healthy

Mental health week

Primary School held its first Health & Wellbeing Week to coincide with the Children's Mental Health Week initiative in the UK. As well as learning about the importance of mental health in assemblies and PSHE lessons, students had access to a range of fun activities at break and lunchtimes to promote all aspects of wellbeing. These included yoga, mindfulness, peer massage, friendship bracelets, positive affirmations, gratitude journals, self-love and acceptance chains, art, musical fun, singing, physical fitness and more!

KS2 Residential Trips

Just before the holiday, Year 3 came back after 3 successful days at iCamp and this morning, Y6 headed off on their adventures in Rayong. Our Y5 and Y4 residentials will be heading off as planned next week and the week after. You can read more about the children’s adventures over the new few week’s newsletters.

Book Week is coming!

Another exciting event that is coming up in March is the Annual Book Week, which brings with it the Famous Book Character Parade. This year also sees the return of the taste bud tantalising Great St Andrews Book Week Bake Off so it’s time for the children to get those creative juices flowing with some amazing cake designs. More details on this competition and more will follow in the coming weeks.

This year our STA EcoBeasts are trying to encourage us to be more sustainable in everything we do- Book Week included. They are encouraging us to recycle our old Book Week costumes to help do out bit to save the environment and to reduce the stress of having to come up with new costume ideas! If you have old costumes that children have outgrown or just don’t wear anymore, they can be donated to school in return for House Points. These costumes will then be sold at discount prices and all of the money raised will be sent to Australian Wildlife charities to support their recovery from the devastating wildfires. Read the poster below to find out more.

Leavers Survey

Today you should have received an email from the school office containing a link to the Leavers Survey. This survey goes out annually at this time to ensure that all children currently studying at St Andrews, have their places confirmed for the next academic year prior to us offering places to new families. Please complete the survey as soon as you can so that we can start to build well balanced class lists for next year. If at this time your family's circumstances make you unable to confirm your intentions at this time, please advise our Primary Admissions Team:
