At the start of this week, all classes took part in a Wellbeing Workshop led by Dominique from Life Education, our PSHE content providers. Each year group explored a different theme and learned a range of age-appropriate strategies to help them maintain positive mental health and wellbeing.

These engaging sessions encouraged pupils to think about their emotions, relationships and ways to look after their mental health, both in school and at home.

If parents would like to further support their child's wellbeing, there is a dedicated section on the SCARF website offering advice, guidance and practical activities for families to enjoy together. (Link below.)

We would like to extend our thanks to Friends of Stonebow for funding these workshops and enabling us to provide this valuable experience for all of our pupils

On Tuesday, our Year 3 and Year 4 pupils enjoyed an exciting trip into Loughborough town centre. The day began with a journey on the Number 12 bus, which created plenty of excitement among the children!

Our first destination was the Taylor Bellfoundry Museum, where pupils saw first-hand how the enormous bells are cast and learned about this important part of our town's heritage. We then made our way to Queen's Park to enjoy lunch and some time playing in the newly installed playground.

In the afternoon, we visited the Town Hall, where the technical crew gave us a fascinating backstage tour. Pupils had the opportunity to stand on the stage, use the microphone and learn more about how performances are brought to life. We then headed to the Mayor's Chambers, where we met the Mayor and Mayoress of Charnwood. The children asked thoughtful questions and enjoyed finding out more about their roles in the local community.

To round off a wonderful day, we travelled back to school on a double-decker coach.

Everyone had a fantastic time and visited somewhere they had never been before, while also discovering more about the history of our town. Our pupils demonstrated the SB Powers of Respect and Curiosity throughout the day and were praised for their excellent behaviour by both the Bellfoundry and Town Hall staff.

(We would like to say a BIG thank you to the adults who volunteered their time to accompany us; and also to Friends of Stonebow who covered our transport costs into town.)

We had a fantastic sports morning at school this morning! Thank you for all of your support and well done to all of the children for showing all of your Stonebow Powers!
