Pedro the Bear

18th Jun 2026
We had a very exciting visitor in school today… Pedro the Bear from Royal Mail!  Pedro popped in to help us think about something really important – our feelings and how to look after our mental health.  Pedro shared some brilliant reminders with us:
  • 💛 Everyone has different feelings – and that’s okay
  • 🗣️ Talking to a grown-up or friend can really help
  • 🌈 Being kind (to others and ourselves!) makes the world a happier place
A special thank you to Mr Carabine, a parent in our school and a Royal Mail employee, for arranging this fantastic visit for our pupils.   There were big smiles, lots of chatter and plenty of excitement throughout Pedro's visit – we think Pedro might have a few new fans in our school!
