  This morning, we had some very special visitors to Primrose Hill! Rock FM came into school to talk with some of our pupils about mental health and the ways in which we can manage our well-being. In year 4, we use a lot of different strategies to do this. We regularly meditate, practise breathing exercises and do yoga. Make sure to listen to Rock FM on Friday to hear the interviews!

  Thu 06 Feb 2020 Miss Pearson

  Wow ! Wow! Wow! What a great afternoon all the talented musicians from Primrose had when they were visited by Parklands Pupils . Mr Willsher the head of music came to lead a very special assembly and workshop in school to inspire a love of playing an instrument, whilst also practising for our upcoming concert with the Grenadier Guards ! 
   

  We all loved the performances of Skyfall, Lion King and Mary Poppins, and it has really inspired lots of us to want to continue to learn to play a musical instrument. 
   

  We are all looking forward to playing together again at the final concert. What a great afternoon ! Thank you Parklands pupils and staff !

  The children were given a selection of magnets and decided to find out which was the strongest. Some children chose to test the magnets by how many paper clips they picked up. Others chose to measure how far away the magnet had to be before it pulled the paper clip towards it.

• Y1 and Y2 Buddhism Assembly

  Fri 31 Jan 2020 Miss Pearson

  What a wonderful assembly we had today when we had a visitor from the Buddhist group in Preston.   Lisa talked to us about love, kindness, compassion and patience. 
  She took us through a beautiful guided meditation giving the people we love a heart hug and receiving their love back. We all agreed we felt calm and that it would help us to be better friends in school. She told us to keep a kind heart , and try to be the best person that we could be. 
   

  She showed us a gorgeous singing bowl which could help us all meditate and stay calm. Something we could all have in our homes or classrooms.
   

  Our visitor Lisa told us a story about Buddha Shakyamuni who wanted to try to get rid of the negative thoughts and feelings and he decided to change and focus on a fundamental wish to be happy . We all went away with a plan to be kind and compassionate and patient to everyone we meet.

  Thu 30 Jan 2020 Miss Blackwell

  The children have enjoyed learning about Chinese New Year this week. We have read books, watched short clips and we have sung songs to help us understand how they prepare and celebrate for the New Year. They have loved using the instruments and taking turns to dress up and dance like a Chinese dragon.
