The importance of a good night’s sleep ????
The importance of a good night’s sleep is vital to a child’s learning. Please have a look at the following link from the NHS: https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/sleep-and-tiredness/healthy-sleep-tips-for-children/#
In this era of screen time and gaming, it is always good to remember family time and winding down before bed time. At least an hour before bed should be technology free. Research has shown that by having a constant stream of light enter our eyes before we go to sleep, we are actually telling our brains that we want to be awake. Encourage your child to read, listen to an audio book or some music before going to sleep. Have a chat with them about their day.

Eco Committee Update
As part of our Eco project for this term, we are thinking about the single-use plastic we use every day.
The children have all started collecting their plastic from lunches and in the classroom. The Eco Committee will be putting the plastic into 2L bottles to make eco bricks for us to create something with. This is a really good opportunity to demonstrate to the children how much plastic we use.
If you’re interested in finding out more at home, you can visit www.ecobricks.org
While we encourage you to explore this at home, please refrain from brining your eco bricks into school. The website has lots of ideas of how to use your bricks.
