Thank you to everyone who came to support the coronation parade today, it was a huge success. I felt so proud of the children. Thank you to 'Burns the Bread' for providing bread rolls for our tea party and Freemason's St Dunstan's Lodge for the coronation coins they have provided for every child in the school.

Have a great bank holiday weekend, see you on Tuesday 9th May.

Parenting Tip

Self-esteem is such an important topic. Children who feel good about themselves have the confidence to try new things. They are more likely to try their best. They feel proud of what they can do. Self-esteem helps children cope with mistakes. It helps them try again, even if they fail at first. As a result, self-esteem helps children do better at school, at home, and with friends.

How can Parents help?

  • Encourage your child to learn new things.
  • Praise effort, not just success
  • Be a good role model - be proud of what you do, and try and do what you do cheerfully.
  • Ban harsh criticism
  • Focus on what your child does well and enjoys more than what they struggle with
  • Let children help and give - let them see that their contribution matters.
