Dear Families,
There’s certainly been plenty of talk about the rain lately — and it’s fair to say we’ve had more than our fair share at JKPS over the past few weeks. However, nothing can dampen the incredible spirit of our children, who have truly shone throughout this half-term. Today’s ‘Love Yourself’ Day was a wonderful celebration of that spirit and a reminder of just how brilliant they all are.
Throughout the week, we have raised awareness of Children's Mental Health Week and highlighted its importance in many meaningful ways. Activities have included West African Drumming, Perform workshops, and pebble painting sessions enjoyed by every year group. During our assembly, after discussing the meaning and origins of Karneval, we finished with a therapeutic eurobeat dance around the hall, celebrating together in true festive spirit.
A special well done to our Wellbeing Warriors, who continue to champion and promote positive mental health across the school all year round.
Wishing you all wonderful half-term weeks - we look forward to seeing everyone back in school on Monday, 23rd February.
Patrick
