Go team Pine Tree!

What a busy week we have had! We have fallen right back into our school routines and we are really proud of how every pupil has dealt with the new school year. Well done Pine Tree!
This half term in PSD we have been focusing on the topic 'Caring Friendships And Respectful Relationships'. We have been making 'friendship trees' and sticking photos of our friends on trees, whilst paying each other nice compliments. This has been a fun topic for us but with a deep message. We have been using games to demonstrate how we can maintain boundaries and use rules to work together as a team. A game we have all been playing (and loving) is Boccia! It's great to see how supportive the pupils have been of their teams and we do have a couple of really competitive pupils (and staff!)
Some of our students have been role-playing different scenarios and others have been guessing how they are feeling. It is important to be aware of our own emotions and those of others. We have some great role models in Pine Tree that help to support their peers and help them when they have struggled and there have been 'High-5s' all round. We then worked as a team at the end of the session and put the balls away.
