Today our children took part in Mindful Monday to mark mental health week. We had a visit from Hannah from Calm Cats who did a great workshop with each class. Children listened to a Tibetan singing bowl and focused on the breathing techniques you need to use to stay calm. Classes also did a variety of other activities including barefoot walking, blowing bubbles, mindful colouring, making a mindful Monday bug and holding the ducklings or chicks we have at the moment. We hope they were super chilled this evening?!

Year 2 had the best time at Taverham High School playing tri golf today. They really showed our school values of perseverance, respect and resilience in action today! Well done, everyone!

As you may have seen from your emails, Lodge Lane are having an Ofsted inspection tomorrow and Thursday. The inspector is very interested to gather parental views of the school as part of her evidence gathering. Please visit https://parentview.ofsted.gov.uk. to register your views by 11am on Wednesday 7th May (tomorrow!)

In Year 1, children have been learning about the Jewish day of rest - Shabbat. They thoroughly enjoyed making challah bread and loved the chance to taste it too. They thought it was delicious!

Look at the amazing journey our children go on with writing at Lodge Lane! From their first attempts at mark making in Reception to beautiful joined handwork in Year 2. Their work is full of creativity and excellent vocabulary too. Take a look by zooming in to the picture or come and have a look next time you're in school. Thank you to Mrs Hoffbauer for putting all this wonderful work together.
