This week, we are proud to support Children’s Mental Health Week. It is an important reminder that every child’s wellbeing matters and that small moments of care, connection and encouragement can make a big difference.
At school, we offer a range of support for our children, including trusted adults to talk to, calm spaces when they need time to reset, wellbeing activities in class and opportunities to build friendships and confidence.
Here are a few simple ways families can support children at home: ➡️Make time to talk. Even five minutes of uninterrupted conversation can help children share how they feel. ➡️Keep routines steady. Predictable mornings, bedtimes and meal times help children feel secure. ➡️Celebrate small wins. Noticing strengths, effort and kindness boosts confidence. ➡️Encourage movement and fresh air. A short walk or playtime can lift mood and reduce stress. ➡️Model calm.
Children learn a lot from how we handle challenges, so showing calm and patience helps them do the same 💛
Together, we can help our children feel supported, confident and ready to thrive.

Our children travelled back in time to explore the world of dinosaurs, hunting for fossils, feeling different textures and enjoying a truly dino-tastic adventure every step of the way 🦕✨
Visit lowerheath.co.uk to see more of our learning.
Rawr-some fun in Allwood World. The Hummingbirds had a dino-tastic afternoon exploring fossils and even hunting for their very own.
With lots of digging and big imaginations, sticks and stones magically transformed into dinosaur teeth and bones. It was a roar-ing adventure from start to finish 🦖🌈🦴✨

At Lower Heath, there is something really special about seeing children from Nursery right through to Year 6 coming together to play, create and unwind after a busy day. In Foxy’s Den, it is all about choice, friendship and fun.
From building epic Jenga domino runs and getting creative with Hama beads, to exploring magnets or playing a very serious game of UNO, there is always something happening.
We love how naturally our children mix across ages, looking out for one another and sharing plenty of laughter along the way.
We are incredibly proud to offer wraparound care from 7.30am to 5.15pm, giving working parents peace of mind and creating a space that children genuinely enjoy being part of.
Foxy’s Den is where the school day ends but the fun continues 😊
Our children have been working hard in PE as they developed their own movement sequences.
They have been focusing on showing tension and extension in their balances, practising how to tense their muscles to stay controlled and still. All that effort has paid off, with some super balances on show 😊

This week, our children have been busy taking part in a fantastic art project to decorate the shelters at Prees Railway Station. We were delighted to welcome local artist and teacher Cathy Williams, who worked with children in Owl, Kingfisher and Skylark classes.
Owl Class explored local wildlife through the beautiful medium of pen and ink, using reed pens and dip pens to create some truly impressive illustrations. In their next session, the children took inspiration from Andy Warhol, transforming their drawings into vibrant pop art collages.

We would like to share a big thank you to Tesco in Whitchurch for their wonderful support in raising toy donations for Lower Heath.
The amazing toys and books donated will bring so much joy and spark imagination for our children. We are truly grateful to the staff, customers and everyone who kindly contributed 😊
