We had a good Online-Safety workshop for parents on Tuesday 20th April and it was wonderful to see some of our children joining in with the ‘How to stand up to someone online’
activity at the beginning.Mrs Pratt had added more information on the website and there is a particularly useful leaflet for grandparents.We will be having an online-safety, transition workshop for our yr6 children next half term.
ST. GEORGE’S DAY – Friday 23rd April –It was lovely to see so many children wearing their Girlguiding, Scouts, etc., uniform with pride.
Please continue to read the class Friday Shout Outs for an update on the exciting learning
your children have been encountering.
CELEBRATING RECEIVING A BLUE PETER BADGE!
If families are looking to complete an activity over half term it might be worth having a go at trying to earn a Blue Peter badge. There are eight to choose from and applicants must be aged between 6 and 15.
Towards the end of lock down Benjamin and Eleanor applied for a badge and they were lucky enough to receive them last week. Benjamin earned his blue badge by making some Mayan tortillas and Eleanor got her green badge by litter picking in the local area. They both wrote a short letter to blue Peter and included some photographs of them completing their chosen activity. They are both hoping to try and get a second badge over the half term holidays.
Details of how to apply for a Blue Peter badge can be found at https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/joinin/about-blue-peter-badges?collection=blue-peter-badges

An absolutely brilliant achievement Benjamin and Eleanor! We’re so proud of you both.

GOVERNOR OF THE WEEK - NAOMI MAKIN
WHY I BECAME A GOVERNOR:
My daughter started in 2011 and then my son in 2013. It was around this time that I became a mid-day assistant at the school and I spent a lot of my time volunteering with different classes. I absolutely loved doing this and it gave me a real passion to want to have some involvement and impact on how the school is run. In 2017 a Governor post came up, so I jumped at the chance.
MY ROLE IN SCHOOL:
I am part of several Governing Committees including Pay Appeals and Staff Discipline Appeals (which we’ve never had to have meetings for), Christian Ethos, Curriculum and Resources. I am a Class Governor for Class 3 and have been their Class friend since starting Reception. Being part of their class has been important to me, so it has been hard since Lockdown.
I am no longer a Parent Governor, but am now an Associate Governor. This hasn’t changed my role too much and am still able to attend the same amount of meetings.
ENCOURAGING WORDS TO CHILDREN AND PARENTS:
Don’t worry about your child catching up to what is expected at their age of learning. They are incredibly resilient and the class teachers are doing an amazing job and are highly skilled in what they do.
