Friendship
A friendship is a relationship between two or more friends.
Someone who is a true friend stands up for you. When others try to hurt you emotionally or physically, they do everything they can to make sure you stay safe. They don't care who is trying to harm you; they will defend you anytime, anywhere. If they can help you, they'll do it without reservation or reward.

Peer Pressure
Today the children have been learning about Peer pressure. Plenty of discussions has taken place in groups.
Your friends and peers influence your day-to-day decisions, even if you don't realise it. Sometimes this can be a good thing. Maybe a friend suggested a book that's now your favourite. Other times, they might pressure you to do things you don't want to do. Like, hurt someone else or miss school. Peer pressure is feeling like you have to do something just because all your friends are doing it.
It can be really tempting to do everything you can to fit in with your friends. But if you don't feel comfortable, it's okay to say "no" and make your own choices.
Well done children for looking at ways to help reduce peer pressure by giving your friends or classmates a choice instead of putting pressure on them.
This week the focus will be on 'One Kind Word'.

This week, the children have been learning all about the importance of a good night sleep.
We spend about a third of our lives asleep. Sleep is essential - It is as important to our bodies as eating, drinking and breathing, and is vital for maintaining good mental and physical health. Sleep and health are strongly related - poor sleep can increase the risk of having poor health, and poor health can make it harder to sleep.
What are the benefits of sleep?
- Improves your attention and concentration
- Allows your body the time it needs to rest, repair and rebuild, but it does the same for your mind too.
- Helps you maintain a ealthy weight
- Keeps your heart healthy
- Keeps your immune system strong
- Reduces your stress levels
- Looks after your menatl well being
- Sleep helps young people to develop physically and emotionally.
What can help?
Doing something relaxing in the hour before going to sleep can really help. This could be things like reading a book or listening to a story being read, having a bath, cuddling a pet, talking to someone in your family about your day, or playing a board game or puzzle.
Spending time outside during the day and exercising can help someone fall asleep and help them to sleep well. Keeping to the same routine
is a good idea, such as going to bed and waking up at the same time every day, even at weekends.

The next two weeks, the children will be looking at Mental Health.
Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices.
Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.
The children have been looking at how they can recognise when someone is feeling low, what strategies can use to help someone and who they can turn to if they are struggling.
Fantastic discussions were taken place from Year 5. Mrs Hardman and Mrs Butt are proud of everyone.
