You Cant't Live A Positive Life, Without A Positive Mind

 Last Friday, October 10th, was "Positive Mental Health Day". It was a day where negative air was nowhere to be found in the school of St.Wolstans!
 Our school organised a "Walk In Our Shoes" day, where all the students wore the funkiest shoes possible. Let me just say some students gave Lady Gaga a run for her money!
 Mental health is a silent but deadly illness. It captures many people and takes some people off guard. This can make it very difficult to, as Taylor Swift says, "shake it off"!
 This day made me aware of the great number of people suffering with their mental health each and everyday. If you are suffering in silence make sure to seek help. As the saying goes "A problem shared, is a problem halved".

My Wishes As I Type!








If You Can Dream It, You Can Do It!



Walter Elias Disney was born on December 5th, 1901. Little did his parents know that as they signed his name on the birth certificate, that it would become one of the best known signatures in the world!


Walt Disney has created many films over the years as a producer example Mickey Mouse and all the Disney Princesses. He has gone on to create a well known theme park in Florida known as "Disneyland". Although he is famous for his theme park, he is also known for his inspirational quotes.
If you can dream it, you can do it
 This quote really makes one think. If you, as a child, had endless dreams of becoming a superhero, go do it! If you believe you could be the best superhero there is, get working because I bet a young Andrew Garfield (aka Spider man) had many nights of himself dreaming he could save the day!

Fish Are Friends, Not Food!

"Fish are friends, not food"

 Last Friday the clouds were opened and the rain was just left to pour. This resulted in our annual Funwalk to be held on the earlier time of Thursday. On hearing the news alarm bells were ringing, "HOW ARE WE GOING TO HAVE OUR DANCE READY?????"
 Being the organised class that we are, we successfully made up a dance that I believed was 'winning material', but sadly we lost out. Class Aurora won the T.Y prize with Mr Kennedy's attempt at being Maleficent.
 The school came together as one to perform for each other. Each year group had a certain colour and so students dressed appropriate. It wasn't just students who dressed up as teachers got in on the act too. Mr Lawless bravely dressed as shark for our dance and taught us all that "fish are friends, not food".
 That particular caption suited the Fun Walks theme of 'friendship'. Friendships are important to us all. To have a friend to lean on in times of need or even for a giggle now and again is a necessity. So think friendship not just for the week in school, but for the whole year round.
