Children’s Mental Health Week 🌿
At Yarrells, wellbeing is part of everyday life. Whether it’s finding calm in our wellbeing clubs or spending time with our guinea pigs 🐹, building confidence in Forest School, taking a quiet moment in the library, or birdwatching at Mrs Covell’s, we believe supporting mental health is a priority.

What an incredible Charity Day! 💛 The school was buzzing with energy from start to finish – bright house colours everywhere, cuddly toys in abundance, and an absolutely fantastic cake sale that was hard to resist! We raised an amazing amount for the @rspca_official , and a huge thank you goes to Mr Hill for his brilliant pledge of £150, as well as to every family who supported the day. It was a wonderful example of our Yarrells community coming together for a great cause.

As part of the World’s Largest Garden Birdwatch 🐦⬛, the children loved spending time at Mrs Covell’s house last week. Surrounded by tranquillity, they enjoyed spotting different birds and learning fascinating facts about them. A truly lovely nature-filled experience. 🌿

Reception had a fantastic ‘My Time’ on Wednesday based on the book ‘The Smartest Giant in Town’ by Julia Donaldson. During our independent learning, we made patterned ties, wrote lists of the animals in the story, played in our library role play area, threaded numbers to 10 and lots more!

After enjoying the story Cave Baby by Julia Donaldson together, our squirrels in nursery explored bubble painting, feet painting, and free floor painting, using our imaginations to bring the story to life.
These playful, hands-on experiences help build confidence, independence, and creativity, supporting a smooth and positive transition as our children prepare for Reception. ✨
