A bit of a quieter week in terms of entries this week. We still had over 40 entries for event 5, however, event 6 was less popular with just 17 entries. Well done to all those children who have entered and the families that joined the children for event 6.

Mindfulness

As some of you will be aware Years 5 and 6 completed a course back in the Autumn term called PawsB. This course is designed to help promote positive wellbeing and taking time for ourselves. These children have then shared some of the ideas with children from other classes. Below you will find audio clips of some of the different practices the children completed. Why not have a go as a family and take some time to remain positive during our current time of uncertainty.

Hinchliffe Mill School

Hinchliffe Mill Junior and Infant school is a small community school surrounded by the rolling hills of the Holme Valley, based at the foot of the Pennines. We pride ourselves as being a school that is a 'family'; where building positive relationships, working well together and respecting one another is a key value. Our school provides a safe, caring and happy environment that fosters children's independence and personal potential. We aim to equip each child with the knowledge, skills and understanding to make a positive contribution to society and nurture a love for learning.
