💙 Wellbeing Wednesday
This week’s Regulation Tool of the Week is Ocean Breathing 🌊
A simple breathing strategy that helps move us towards the Green Zone and supports regulation across all the Zones of Regulation.
Helpful when we’re feeling:
🔴 overwhelmed
🟡 worried or restless
🔵 low or tired
Pause.
Breathe in like a wave coming in 🌊
Breathe out like the wave going back out to sea.
A great tool to use anytime, anywhere 💙

📚Teaching & Learning Tuesday
This week, the spotlight is firmly on our amazing EYFS provision and the incredible start it gives our youngest pupils on their school journey.
In EYFS, our curriculum is carefully designed to build strong foundations for learning. From the very beginning, children are supported to develop fundamental skills, grow in confidence and curiosity, and discover a love for learning.
Our pupils are given opportunities to:
-Develop communication and language skills
-Learn through play and exploration
-Develop social skills and build positive relationships
-Discover their motivators and interests
-Develop self-regulation and emotional understanding
-Develop a love of learning
Every moment in EYFS is purposeful, nurturing, and focused on helping children feel safe, confident and ready to learn. The dedication, creativity and care shown by our EYFS team truly makes a difference and their work absolutely deserves the spotlight this week.💚 … See MoreSee Less

What a brilliantly busy week it has been at Birch Wood, packed full of learning experiences both in and out of the classroom!
-This week we’ve seen incredible classroom learning alongside lots of off-site, cross-curricular opportunities.
– Our Robins took part in a local table cricket competition, while the Penguins and Falcons represented us brilliantly at the Boccia County Final.
– The Peacocks enjoyed a wonderful Forest Schools trip, exploring and learning in the great outdoors.
– We celebrated World Book Day as a whole school, with everyone invited to dress up as their favourite character or create their own – it was amazing to see so much creativity and a real love of reading across the school.
– We were delighted to welcome the Mayor, who visited the college this week, and BWC students continued to impress us with their ongoing work for Duke of Edinburgh.
– Over at Grange Drive, many classes enjoyed time out in the community, visiting the park and local shops and building valuable life skills.
– Some of our students also had the chance to visit an outdoor pursuits centre for some climbing, while the Hummingbirds had an incredible first session at horse riding.
