Mr Souter came to work with Beech class on the topic of Debt and Money skills for life. We explored the differences between wants and needs and how we should always budget for our needs first, before we think about our wants.
We worked on budgeting and realised how challenging it can be to make money stretch for all the things we need and want. We discussed what debt means and what can happen when we get into debt. It was a very interesting session with lots of sensible ideas and thoughts raised.
Josh from Chorley Sports Partnership came to deliver PALS training to Year 5. This involved us thinking about how we can be good leaders and lead some fun games with KS1 at lunchtimes. We had the opportunity to try out leading a game with a group of children and now can't wait to put our new skills to use very soon (when bubbles allow!) with the younger children.
Beech class were visited by Chorley's Angels who spoke with us about the important of keeping safe on Bonfire Night. They helped us to understand the difference between a burn and a scald and also gave us top tips for first aid to treat burns and scalds.
Beech class had a great yoga session, which helped us to develop our breathing techniques and strategies for our own mindfulness and mental health.
For 'Hello Yellow' Day we took part in activities which helped us with our own well-being. We tried out some at our desk yoga and dance, which was very relaxing and we played a 'seeing things differently' game which helped us to become more aware of our surroundings that we often overlook.
Beech class have been busy this week writing manifestos and campaigning to be elected onto the school council. A huge well done to all those children who put their name forward to be elected and wrote such wonderful manifestos. The children in the class voted and it was a very tight vote, but our elected representatives for Year 5 are Luke and Summer. Well done!
