Tag Rugby Winners

Huge congratulations to our Tag Rugby teams who received high praise for their sportsmanship and their respect for the game in the competition yesterday. We entered a Y5 team and a Y6 team this year and they both did really well. Unfortunately as a competition goes, they eventually had to play each other, and the Y6 team knocked out the Y5 team. The Y6 team then went on to win overall, they won every match played. We celebrated this in our Friday achievement assembly today and all received an applause. All children will also receive a certificate.

Online Safety

This week Miss Darmanin led our half termly safety assembly with a focus on Online Safety. Children were reminded of the SMART safety rules and they discussed each element. A huge well done to everyone, Miss Darmanin was very impressed with how knowledgeable the children are. They were all reminded to share the SMART safety rules at home and to always make sure grown ups are aware of their online activity.

Fidget toys

A polite reminder to check with school staff before sending in any fidget toys. We have school approved fidget manipulatives for pupils to use should they be needed in class or around school. We also work with the school nursing team to provide support in this area. Children may need to use a manipulative to aid their concentration for a short period of time, or to support with a particular sensory need or anxiety. It is important that school staff are aware of such needs so that we can support pupils with effective strategies to overcome any barriers at particular times.

Please see Mrs Williams our SEND lead or Miss Darmanin our Mental Health lead, but always discuss with your child’s class teacher in the first instance to ensure we can work together to best support pupils.

Thank you.
