Mufti Day in Support of MIND Charity for World Mental Health Day - Thursday 10th October 2024

Dear Parents/Guardians,

We are excited to announce that on Thursday 10th October, we will be hosting a mufti day at our school in support of the MIND charity and school wellbeing, in recognition of World Mental Health Day.

On this day, students are encouraged to wear their brightest purple or yellow clothes to show their support for young people's mental health. There will be donation buckets available, and representatives from the school wellbeing team will be at the front of the school to answer any questions you may have.

Your participation and contributions towards this cause are greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your continued support.

Warm regards,

The Well-Being Team

Dear Parents/ Carers,

Firstly, we'd like to say how wonderful it is to see the children back in school; they have already settled in beautifully and seem raring to go for the year ahead.

We're also writing to share some exciting news about an upcoming trip we would like the children to experience. As part of our History topic studying WW2, we have the opportunity to take the children to Gressenhall Museum, where they will learn all about life on the home front.

Activities include:

• Meeting Mabel Browne who is a member of the Women’s Land Army. With her, the children will learn of the hard work she has to do on the farm to keep the nation fed.
• Spending time with Warden Smith, the ARP warden, where the children will look at an Anderson shelter, try out an air raid siren and explore the entertainment available in the long hours of an air raid.
• Experience rationing with Mrs Watts, who is managing the food and clothing ration books for her whole family
• Meet Captain Morgan, who oversees the Home Guard in the village. The children will look at the importance that morale had to those living in Britain in WW2, as well as puttingthe children through a rigorous training session!

We feel this experience would be of great value to the children, allowing them to immerse themselves in this time period.

The trip date is Tuesday 15th October, with children coming to school in their normal uniform, with drop off and pick up times as normal.

Please could the children bring a packed lunch with them on this day, unless they're entitled to free school meals, in which case a lunch will be provided.

The cost of this trip will be £13.55. As always, if we do not have enough contributions, the trip will not go ahead and will have to be cancelled.

Please give consent for this trip and make payment using the shop option on Parentmail as usual.

Many thanks for your continued support,

Year 6 Team
