Headteachers Update 12th November

This week we started the week with our Ignition Day. The children have ignited their winter themed curriculum for Autumn 2 by experiencing the snow and cold weather. You will see from the photographs, pupils encountered a snowman and participated in rolling snowballs and some even had a snowball fight!

A magical moment for me was observing Dylan in Seedlings, walk towards the snow machine in his walker at speed to explore it further!

The children will continue to build on this learning over the half term and have a celebration event at the end. This will be their Christmas educational visit!

Thank you to those who popped into school for a drink and chat at our Community Hub. Parents chatted, talked about tapestry and communication and discussed ways for parents to become involved in the school. Following last half terms meeting, I have made contact with a colleague in City of York Council to discuss out of school provision and wrap around care. We are setting up a meeting. I will update you all when I have more information.

We look forward to seeing your baking talents next week for our Children in Need fundraiser. Cakes will be available for parents, drivers & PTAs to purchase at the end of the day… if there’s anything left! ☺

Next Friday is our staff training day, a range of staff will engage in training on rebound therapy, moving & handling & Positive Behaviour Support (NAPPI) training.
