A massive well done to Archie & Jake! They've been doing some work this half term with Miss Blackhurst, looking at anger as an emotion and what drives their anger. They've identified instances where they've become angry, how their body felt and what they might've acted like or said to others when they're angry. 😡 They've also looked at the role of their brain and the different sections and what they do. The boys are now able to identify what the cerebral cortex, midbrain and brain stem is, what it does and how it communicates when they're in 'fight, flight, freeze'. Without being asked, the boys identified what response their brain uses when they're angry and what they can do to regulate. 🧠 At the end of each of their interventions, the boys shared a game of their choice. Sometimes they may have struggled with losing a game and reacted poorly, but they have shown great maturity when losing - congratulating the other and praising them for their win. This has also been shown in other sports and games outside of their interventions too! 😃 Miss Blackhurst is so proud of the progress they have both made, as well as their class staff who have also seen a big change in their behaviours and reactions! Well done, boys!!! 👏 #springbrook #academy #lower ... See MoreSee Less

Class Five's ​Final Forest School Adventure! 💦🌿What a fantastic way to celebrate our final Forest School session of the year! Class Five enjoyed a wonderful trip to Chatterton Park, where they had the chance to cool down by paddling in the stream on a beautiful sunny day.💦🌿As they explored, the children spotted lots of beautiful butterflies and were excited to recognise many of the birds they saw from everything they have learned during their Forest School sessions this year. It was wonderful to see their growing knowledge and appreciation of the natural world in action.💦🌿After plenty of splashing, exploring, and enjoying nature together, the children headed to the park for a well-deserved end-of-year treat. 💦🌿Well done, Class 5, enjoy your summer everyone! 🌳🦋🐦☀️💚#springbrook #academy #lower ...

Class 3's Final Forest School Adventure!💦🌳Class 3 had the best time on their final Forest School trip of the year with a visit to the water fountains at Stamford Park. The children spent a wonderful couple of hours cooling off in the water jets, laughing, playing together, and making lots of happy memories.They also enjoyed some time on the park, where they climbed, explored, and had great fun with their friends. It was the perfect way to celebrate the end of a fantastic year of Forest School adventures. Well done, Class 3, have a great summer! 🌞💚#springbrook #academy #lower ... See MoreSee Less

Class 6 had a fantastic day at the Cliffe House !

🌿🔥The children had so much fun pond dipping, discovering all sorts of fascinating and odd looking creatures, before cooking their own burgers and sausages over the open fire – a real outdoor adventure! 🍔🌭To top it all off, they were among the first to explore the brand-new adventure playground, which only opened this week. There were smiles, laughter, and plenty of excitement as they put it to the test!🙂#springbrook #academy #lower ... See MoreSee Less

🌳 Class 4 – Final Forest School of the Year! 🌞

For their last Forest School session, Class 4 set Mrs Pulman a brilliant challenge: cooking a full English breakfast for everyone over the campfire in the summer heat. 🔥🍳 She took it on with enthusiasm, and the children were delighted with their outdoor feast. After breakfast, the class spent a wonderfully relaxed day in the woods. Some children chilled in forest hammocks, swaying in the shade, while others dashed between the trees playing hide and seek. They used special sun print paper to create beautiful leaf prints and explored the forest floor searching for mini beasts. 🔍A perfect mix of adventure, creativity and calm to end the Forest School year. 🌿✨#springbrook #academy #lower ...

Class 2's Final Forest School Adventure!🌿🌳Class 2 had a wonderful time during their last Forest School session! We visited Dovestone, where we enjoyed feeding the ducks. Cullen especially loved being surrounded by them and Harry even got a little closer than usual!🙂Staff were very pleased to see Kayden, a student who transferred to Hawthorns last year. He was so excited to see us and tell us how he was getting on in his new school. 🏫 Afterwards, we headed to the stream and spent an hour trying to catch fish. We had a few close calls, but our slippery little friends managed to escape every time! Although we didn't catch any, everyone had lots of fun exploring nature, working together, and making wonderful memories.❤️ What a wonderful way to end their Forest School adventure before they embark on their John Muir Award at Upper School. I can't wait to see where their next outdoor adventures take them! 💚🦆🐟🌿#springbrook #academy #lower ... See MoreSee Less
