Inclusion   Meetings   Every  month   a   group   of  teachers   from   across   the   Federation   get  together   to   talk   about   and  plan   provision   for  any  children  who  might  need  some  additional  support   in   school.  We   look  at  whether  or  not  we  need  to  get  support  from  outside  agencies,  and   also   at   the   effectiveness   of   the   work  we  are   already   doing.     If   you   ever   have   any  concerns   about   you   child’s   progress   or  attitude   to   school   you   should   share   this  with  their   teacher.   If   things  don’t   improve  you  can  ask  us  to  take  things   forward  by  discussing   it  at  the  next  Inclusion  Meeting.  

 

Traffic   and   parking  We   have   continued   to   look   at   the  

issue  of  safe  parking  around  the  schools.  There  are  things  

the  City  Council   can  do   to   improve   things,  and   to  speed  

the  process  up   it  would  be  helpful   if  you  could  sign   the  

petition   that   will   be   on   display   in   the   entrance   hall   of  

both   schools.   You   can   also   help   by   making   sure   you  

always:  • Park  legally  and  considerately  

• Cross  the  road  at  the  pedestrian  crossing  or  by  the  

crossing   patrols   –   children   copy   adults   and   will  

make   the   same   choices   that   you   do,   including  

crossing  in  unsafe  places.

Instructions   The   Year   3   and   Year   5  children   have   been   learning   about   and  developing   their   skills   in   writing  instructions.   We   have   seen   lots   of  different   ideas,   including   writing  gruesome   recipes   and   following  instructions   that   someone   else   has  written   to  see   if   they  make   sense.  These  children   have   been   learning   a   new   card  game   with   only   written   rules   to   help  them   –   very   tricky.   You   could   help   your  child  with   this   by   seeing   if   you   can   spot  some   instructions   and   then   asking   them  if  they  can  identify  the  features.  

Incredible  Edibles  Lots  of  the  veg  trugs   have   already   been   planted  out,   and   the   raised   beds   are  looking   great.   In   this   picture   you  can   see   the  Y4   trug   full  of  herbs  –  why   not   see   how   many   you   and  your   child   can   identify   without  looking  at  the  labels  next  time  you  come   into   school?   It   shouldn’t   be  too   long   before   you   can   start  helping   yourself   to   the   veg   and  herbs…look  out  for  the  signs.  

 

Inspiring  Visit  Children  in  the  Foundation  Stage  made  a  marvelous  visit  to  Babbacombe  Model  Village  last  week.  Their  aim  was  to  be  inspired  to  create  fantasy  worlds  for  themselves.  They  are  busily  creating  models  and  scenes  and  very  soon  will  have  stories  and  adventures  to  tell.  A  box  or  a  tray  is  a  perfect  way  to  create  a  mini-­‐world,  why  not   try   one   at   home?   Add   a   few   characters   or   animal  figures  and  the  story  is  all  yours  for  the  creating…  Thank  you  to  families  and  to  the  PTFA  for  supporting  the  visit.  

Grounds  Morning  at  the  Infant  School   This   is   coming   up   this  weekend   -­‐   Saturday   10th.   Come  along   to   school   at   any   time  between   9.00   and   12.00noon   to  join   in   with   the   many   jobs   that  keep  our  school  looking  so  lovely  and   our   outdoor   spaces   fit   for  learning.   Meet   someone   new,  learn   some   gardening   skills,   go  home   inspired   to   grow  something  to  enjoy  or  to  eat!
