It can be easy to rush through life without stopping to notice much. Paying more attention to the present moment – to your own thoughts and feelings, and to the world around you – can improve your mental wellbeing. Some people call this awareness "mindfulness". Mindfulness can help us enjoy life more and understand ourselves better. You can take steps to develop it in your own life; here, at Ladybridge, we are teaching children the art of mindfulness in our lunchtime clubs. The aim is to give our pupils some tools they can use anytime: tools to calm down, slow down and feel better when they are troubled. Mrs Hall, who runs our KS1 mindfulness club says, “It’s a time for children to relax. We have fun together performing yoga to stories and chill out with mindfulness colouring activities. Take a look at some of our yoga poses. It’s great for improving our health, growing confidence and getting an even a better night’s sleep; you’d be surprised just how much we

Scholastic Book Club leaflets are coming home. The order deadline is 17th November.
Class Focus: 3L
In 3L, we have been learning all about the Austrian symbolist painter, Gustav Klimt. We have critiqued his drawings, written him a biography, and then made our own drawings, in his style. It’s been great fun and we have been inspired by his work!.Well done 3L!
Each week, we will focus on work undertaken by a different class. This week it’s the turn of 3L…
PARENT VIEW We would like your thoughts on our school, at any time…
Please visit https://parentview.ofsted.gov.uk/ and click on the
‘Give Your Views’ link to tell Ofsted what you think about your
child’s school. You can visit the Parent View website at any time and
complete the questionnaire. Parent View is accessed by Ofsted to check how
parents feel about the school.
Year 5 – We’ve Got Styal! Year 5 went to Styal Quarry Bank Mill this week. They learned about the lives of children who worked in the cotton mill… and some of them even
dressed up as a Victorian. Don’t they look fantastic!
Dinner Money The cost of School Dinners is £7 per week
or £56 for the Half Term up until Christmas. Please ensure you do let your
account go into arrears. Thank you.
Year 2: Fireworks As part of their learning about Guy
Fawkes and the Gun Powder Plot, Year 2 pupils are watching a firework display on Wednesday, 8th November. Please ensure they have warm outer wear on
this day. Sorry: For children only!
Lily is justly proud of her amazing artwork
The judges were amazed by Julia’s (6L)
bewitching outfit! →
