Dr Walker's Church of England Primary School
An Exceptional Place to Flourish
Monday
Good Morning!
This week is Children’s Mental Health Week (1st-7th February 2021). This year's theme is Express Yourself.
Self-expression is about communicating your individuality. This can be through words, clothing and hairstyle, or through art forms such as writing, drawing, music and dance.
Sometimes our grown-ups help us get ready in the mornings. On Friday I challenge you to get yourself dressed. Choose your own clothes and hair style! Don't forget to tweet pictures to our school twitter!

Collect items around the house that have holes in them a colander is perfect, you can also use a basket and some threading beads.
Using long pasta push it through the holes you find.
We would like all pupils to make a drawing on one of the following topics:
- “I like my school.”
- Nature (e.g. flowers, animals, rainbow, etc.)
- What makes me happy and smile?
- Things I like to learn about (e.g. the 50 experiences in school).
- Living in the UK (e.g. buses, trains, Churches, Big Ben, London landmarks, etc.).
- School values
- British Values
You can use colouring in pencils, felt tip pens or paint! I know you will draw some fabulous pictures as we're such a creative class!

Writing Challenge
|
Choose a picture. Talk about it together. Ask your child to label parts of the picture, write a simple caption (e.g. a pet cat) or one or more simple sentences about it (e.g. The cat has a blue eye.) |
Today's Prayer
Heavenly Father, help me through all of my days. Teach me not to worry. Remind me to not be anxious. As it says in Philippians ‘Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.’ I am making my requests known to you right now. I need help. I need you. I thank you. Amen
