Harvest

Thank you to everyone who contributed to our Harvest collection. I know the donations of food will go to very good use at The Mustard Tree and for those in need.

In our lovely service in church led by our Pupil Chaplains, there were many points of reflection on being grateful for what we have, who helps us to have food to eat and also consideration for those who less fortunate than ourselves.

Obviously our lives today are much more removed from the sources of food than was the case in the past, but that means there are even more people to thank for getting it to us.

I am really enjoying the services led by the Pupil Chaplains and they lead them so well and with great thought and feeling.

Well done everyone.

Messy Church

It typically includes a welcome, a long creative time to explore the biblical theme through getting messy; a short celebration time involving story, prayer, song, games and similar; and a sit-down meal together at tables.


 

 

Article 8: Identity

Article 8 of the UNCRC is about a child or young person’s name, nationality and family relationships. It says that the government shouldn’t interfere with a child or young person’s right to any of these. It also says the government should be able to help if any of these things are taken from them illegally.

 
 

Hall Ceiling Update

We have had a very busy and somewhat stressful week with regards to RAAC and our hall ceiling upgrade work.

I received an email on Tuesday telling me that the project was not going to start on time as the Department for Education was still not approving it yet, and they wanted some more information not previously asked for.

I must confess that I was extremely upset about this and felt I had to write a very strongly worded letter to the Department of Education telling them how outraged I was at this unnecessary delay.

Thankfully, they did then approve the project yesterday, but we won’t be having as much work done as planned in half term as the contractor had already moved some of their workers to another project.

However, we are still on course to have the most disruptive work completed in the half term holiday and to be back in within a number of weeks. I will keep you all updated.


Well here we are at the end of the first half term of the year and nearly 1/5th of the school year behind us. I’m writing this with a very wet and windy playground outside my window and it certainly feels like we well within Autumn now. There have been many, many things to celebrate over the past few weeks, and I feel very proud of the children.

It is lovely to see so many children supporting Show Racism the Red Card by wearing something red today. At a time in the world where some people are sadly showing hatred towards others, treating each other with respect and love is so important for us in our school community. We are here to serve everyone. Thankfully, racist behaviour and language is extremely rare in our school, but we are always looking out for it, and spend a good deal of time teaching the children about the wider world in which we all live in.

When we return it will be All Saints’ Day on the Wednesday (the day after Halloween or All Hallows’ Eve or All Saints’ Eve) which is obviously special for our school given who we are dedicated to. It isn’t just a time for Christians to think of famous saints, but a time for reflection on our own beliefs and actions.

Who is a saint? You are. That is, if you’re a follower of Jesus. God calls a "saint" those who trust in Christ alone for salvation (see Acts 9:13, Acts 26:10, Romans 8:27, 1 Corinthians 1:2).

Given we aren’t as certain of the completion date for the hall ceiling now, things like dates and times for Parents’ Meetings will be updated when we come back. Watch this spaceâ€Ķ

I hope everyone has a safe, calm and enjoyable week, and thank you again to everyone for all the hard work, flexibility, patience, understanding and support this half term. I really appreciate it.

Value of Play

Before the world of games consoles, tablets, smartphones and multiple TVs in the house (yes when I was young), there was more time for real-world play. It was also the case that not as many parents worked and therefore more time for play was possible.

Matching games, turn-taking, puzzles, ball games all have huge benefits compared with digital devices. They help the children learn to consider others, they have to watch and listen, take turns, learn how to win and lose politely, learn words and phraseâ€Ķthe list goes on.

I remember a time where my dad turned the electricity off to force us all to forget about the TV and we played card games and quizzes. I did rumble him, but I also enjoyed the night socialising with everyone.

It isn’t obvious that children are learning when playing games with adults and other children, but they really are. Snakes and ladders, jigsaws, lego, bricks etc are just as important today than they were in the pastâ€Ķand they aren’t just for the young children either.

You can find some ideas on our Hobby Zone on our website.

Article 7: Name and Nationality

Article 7 of the UNCRC says that all children and young people have the right to a name and nationality, which they should be granted at birth. It also says that they have a right to – as far as possible – know and be cared for by their parents.

 
 

I hope this new format of newsletter isn’t too confusing. I wanted to develop the newsletter so that it could be more interactive, and also very importantly, able to be translated into different languages. Please feel free to pass on any comments and suggestions to me.

With #HelloYellow on Tuesday this week, we have reflected on mental health, both in terms of keeping healthy and knowing what to do if we are struggling. It would be nice to think the children will never have difficulties in the future, but we all go through difficult times, and we want to do all we can to prepare them.

We are coming up to half term, and there is only next week before our first holiday of the year. Details for Parents’ Meetings will be shared very soon, and I would ask every parent/carer to sign up on Arbor Parent Portal. The children make much better progress socially and academically when there is clear sharing of information between school and home.

I hope everyone has a lovely weekend. Thank you
