Today, Key Stage Two took part in a virtual Sing-Along with other schools. The schools learnt the song ‘What About Us?’ and performed it with either instruments or Makaton signing. They then all linked up virtually to perform together. Our children all sang beautifully and our Year 6 musicians were fantastic! Well done Dothill.☺

Our craft activity at The Priory today was decorating shells for a display. The children each chose a shell to bring back to school to remember the afternoon. Lots of glitter was used!!!! 😂
Our Petunias are growing nicely in the residents’ garden as you can see in the last photo.
The children are getting really confident in talking to residents now, they are very much appreciated by staff and residents alike.

Message for Year 6 Parents

As your child is about to move from primary to secondary school, make some time to talk to them about it.

Here are some tips on how to ease any worries or anxiety they might have.

1.Chat about how they are feeling and how it will be different from primary - for instance bigger site, new people, changing teachers and rooms for subjects, more homework.

2. Reassure them that nerves about starting something new are normal, as is some sadness at leaving familiar things, and that these feelings usually get easier with time.

3.Be careful not to impose your own worries. Instead, try and focus on exciting opportunities - new subjects, activities and friends.

4.Celebrate the milestone of finishing primary school, and all the ways they have grown. This can help to boost their self-esteem and confidence.

5. Enjoy the next chapter together and keep talking.

We went to visit The Priory again today and this time Phil came too! The residents were thrilled to see the children again and loved Phil, of course. The staff and residents had been to buy some petunias for the children to plant and they did a great job. The residents will get to see them grow in their garden.

A great Fancy Friday! I love it when I hear the children tell me that they got chosen because they ‘are brilliant all of the time!’ I couldn’t agree more. I am very proud of you all 😊
