Welcome back to school

Welcome back to a new school year! It has been a lovely start to the term, the children have enjoyed chatting with their friends again and getting back into routines. Each class have settled well and our new staff are settled in and feel familiar already!

The first week back always feels long, by yesterday it was obvious many children were already feeling tired. It’s worth noting that this half term is particularly long at 8 weeks. It will take a few weeks for children to get properly ‘back up to speed’ anyway and then a few weeks later the tiredness will really build – and tired children are less enthusiastic, have lower emotional resilience and reduced self-regulation. Cold/ flu season will also rear its head! So my advice is use the daily routines to your advantage; a good night’s sleep, balanced diet, limited screen time and time to rest is important!
