2021 – 2022
Meet our Happiness Heroes
Our Happiness Heroes are: Emily, Malachi, Amina, Riley, Ruby, George, Sophie, Katie and Lewis…
Origami Gifts
The Happiness Heroes recently met to discuss how we could help to promote good mental health within school. After generating lots of ideas, the children decided they wanted to make some origami gifts. They wanted to make an origami dog.
George said, “I’m going to give mine to Harry to cheer him up.”
“Thank you, George, I’m feeling much better now” said Harry after receiving the origami gift.
Wellness Washing Line
Today the Happiness Heroes decided they wanted to do something to cheer the staff up. We decided to hang chocolate from our ‘Wellness Washing Line’ in the ‘Chill-out Zone’. “It will make the staff happy”, Katie said. “Well done guys!”, Mrs Davies commented, “It really cheered me up”.

Playtime Leaders (PALS) 2018-2019
Our Playtime Leaders are: Georgia, Bonnie, Tyla, Dan, Thomas, Aimee & Harry
Our Playtime Leaders are co-ordinated by Mrs. Howes who also co-ordinates PE across the school. The Playtime Leaders are responsible for purchasing play equipment for the school yard. They are given a budget each year and can choose games and resources for our children. They are also responsible for putting the games and equipment out at playtime and making sure it is put away safely at the end of the day.
During Sports Relief, our Playtime Leaders took the lead in running a whole school work out to raise money for sports relief.
Our Playtime Leaders work closely with the Buddies to ensure that children are not lonely at playtime or lunchtime and always have someone to play with.
