Controlling our inner chimp!

This year, Mr Cursley's assemblies have focused on 'My Hidden Chimp.' Emotional well-being is so important in children and adults and we are promoting this weekly, not only in assemblies every Monday but also during PSHE sessions in class.

Assembly - Cage the chimp!

After a number of weeks discussing what our chimp looks like and what it does, the children have written down the characteristics of the chimp and then more importantly, their characteristics of who they are as a person and what they want to be. We are taking control of the inner chimp and becoming the best version of ourselves!

Due to Covid-19, our lives have changed dramatically over the past year. Many people are experiencing high levels of anxiety at this time, including children. The following pages may assist you in speaking with your child. Please remember, Glastonbury Thorn School and its staff are always here to support you.
