Being a child is not easy. Learning to control your feelings and emotions takes time. Even as adults we all still feel angry and frustrated and we have lots of life experience. For children this is even harder and children need understanding and support to help them control their emotions and build confidence. The image below contains some great ideas to help children manage their emotions.

Well done to our new House Captains and Vice Captain for conducting part of our school assembly. The captains have the job of informing the children which team have won the weekly house cup. Today it was Lions!

Latvia 100 Week

 

Many thanks to all our parents for supporting our Latvia 100 week. We had some wonderful workshops and enjoyed our family learning morning so much. I hope you all had a great weekend celebratiing our amazing country.

     

We were so happy to welcome our fellow teachers from Frankfurt to train with us and spend the day on our school meeting children and watching lessons. It is wonderful to have another King's School close and to be able to meet face to face to share our practice and our stories! Here you can see Miss Hannah and Miss Anna alongside Nikita Sidhu and Sarah Lang during our Big Write training session.

 

We were very lucky to be invited to meet the Earl and Countess of Wessex. The Earl and Countess visited Latvia for one day only and met different members of the community, They spent some time talking with the children about our school and what they liked about their school day. They laughed a lot when the children said break and lunch! 

My husband and I were also lucky enough to be invited to a banquet at the caste. We were also thrilled to be tweeted about by the Royal Family!

    

 

We had a wonderful British Picnic as our first community event this term. Our parents came and enjoyed a beautiful late Summer day with Scones and tea as well as some cucumber sandwiches and healthy snacks. The weather was amazing and it was all topped off with a British family quiz.
