The children have settled into year 1 brilliantly. It's quite a jump up from Early Years but they are coping fantastically with all their new books and lessons. Some of the children have naturally had a few worries about the new classroom, getting to grips with the new timetable and the transition from less 'play' to more work. In PSCHE we read Anthony Browne's Silly Bilły - a lovely story about a little boy who makes a worry doll to help him share his worries. The children all made beautiful worry dolls, just in case they had a worry they wanted to share.
The children can leave their worry dolls in school, or they are welcome to take them home. In the story Billy puts his under his pillow and the doll takes all his worries away while he sleeps!
