These jokes were written to spread some joy! Years 5 and 6, in their pastoral time, were reminded of the importance of a smile, how it can lift your mood, and the mood of others around you. So, with the pastoral focus of 'helping others be the best they can be' the children set about writing a joke to spread joy.
One of our key aims, when creating Westbourne House at Home, was to support our children's wellbeing during lockdown, essentially to be there for the children each school day. Significant pastoral time was created, bookending each day with face to face time with form teachers. These are forums for normality, for discussion, give perspective on life and allow the children to support one another.
For children who need extra TLC, further contact time was put in place.
As one parent commented: "The children very much feel that they are part of the school community."
