Building Resilience - Look on the Bright Side

This term at Victoria we have been learning to Look on the Bright Side. We can all look at the same situation from different perspectives. Sometimes the way we think about things that happen to us, can have a bigger impact on our wellbeing than the event itself.

We have learnt that:

• The      way you think can affect the way you feel.
• There      are different ways of looking at the same thing. 
• Focusing      on what you are grateful for can help.

Bangholm Fun Day is on Saturday 1st September, 10.30am to 12.30pm.

This is the third joint venture of this event and this year it is timed to coincide with the start of Trinity Academy’s 125th birthday celebrations.

All are welcome to come along, not just youngsters. 

See you at Bangholm Recreation Ground, Craighall Gardens, EH6 4RH.

We had fun at outdoor learning searching for mini beasts. Then we made our own out of leaves seeds sticks and flowers.  

There will be a Health and Wellbeing Parents Morning on Thursday 17th May here at Victoria Primary School.  See the poster below for more details.

Thank you!

The bake sale at Victoria Primary raised £531 for St Columba's Hospice.

A HUGE thank you to EVERYONE who took part in this AMAZING fund-raising event.

Building Resilience - Get Active

Our new Health and Wellbeing unit this term is Get Active. In this unit, the children will learn that:

• Being active is not only good for the body but also for the mind. 

This is the start of a new session and the theme was Mini beasts and fire breathing dragons made out of leaves , twigs and seeds.

We hope you enjoy the photos!

The Outdoor Learning Team

This term we are learning to Talk Things Over when we feel worried. Children will learn how worries affect our wellbeing and what we can do to deal with them to stop them escalating. This includes strategies like writing them down, talking them over, realising things will pass and asking for help.

We will be learning that: 

• At times we all feel worried 

This week in our outdoor learning activities we used clay and natural materials to make a woodland face .

Here are some of our favourites!
