Today saw the first of our whole school Maths Day. The children from class 5 taught each of the other classes, demonstrating our excellent mathematical knowledge and understanding. They really were the best teachers!

A big thank you to Reverend Caroline and Emily for our wonderful open the book assembly this week. We had lots of fun learning about a new story from the Bible.

On 10th October 2025, children across all year groups at Nettlesworth Primary School came together to raise awareness for World Mental Health Day, looking at the effects of fake news and doom scrolling on mental health.

Throughout the day, pupils engaged in a variety of thoughtful and creative activities designed to promote emotional wellbeing, empathy, and kindness:

• The whole school began the day with calming breathing exercises and guided mindfulness sessions to help children understand how to manage worries and emotions.
• In classes pupils took part in open discussions about mental health, learning how to talk about feelings and support one another. Teachers used age-appropriate stories and scenarios to spark meaningful conversations.
• EYFS and KS1 explored picture books that promote emotional literacy, while KS2 students reflected on real-life stories of resilience and mental health advocacy.

The day was a beautiful reminder that mental health matters every day, and that even small acts of kindness and understanding can make a big difference. We are incredibly proud of our pupils for their compassion, creativity, and commitment to making our school a safe and supportive space for all.

Well done to all of the children who have worked super hard this week and achieved the Headteachers Award. Keep up the hard work!
