Messages from the Principal, Mrs Pelazza

{alt_tag}

Leaders have been considering how the school can further support our community to live more healthily; this includes what we eat and how active we are.

For starters, can you encourage your child to be active for at least 60 minutes each day? This could include walking to school. Consider swapping food high in sugar for alternatives, too.

For more information, please click HERE.

Parent Progress Meetings

These are due to take place next Tuesday and Thursday for all classes except Robin and Magpie (their meetings will take place after half-term.)  These meetings are compulsory. Please ensure you sign up before the end of day today.


SAFEGUARDING

{alt_tag}

Safer Internet Day has become a landmark event in the online safety calendar. Starting as an initiative of the EU SafeBorders project in 2004 and taken up by the Insafe network as one of its earliest actions in 2005, Safer Internet Day has grown beyond its traditional geographic zone and is now celebrated in approximately 180 countries and territories worldwide.

From cyberbullying to social networking to digital identity, each year Safer Internet Day aims to raise awareness of emerging online issues and current concerns.

Click HERE to access a range of age-appropriate resources in a variety of languages to support your child.

The NSPCC offer free parental internet safety workshops. Please click HERE for more information.

They have also recorded a video for parents to coincide with Safer Internet Day providing tips on how to keep children safe on gaming platforms. Please click HERE to watch. 


Place2Be launched the first-ever Children’s Mental Health Week in 2015 to shine a spotlight on the importance of children and young people’s mental health.  

Now in its ninth year, they hope to encourage more people than ever to get involved, spread the word, and raise vital funds for children’s mental health.

Celebrating our Children!

Just take a look at Aleena's writing!  Aleena is one of our Reception children. She was thrilled to show Mrs Pelazza the start of her story and explained that Mrs Pelazza was the princess!

We have received so many compliments from children, staff and parents about our Islamic Art display!  (The photo does not quite do it justice!) 

What a lovely way to showcase more of our children's work and celebrate our community's heritage.

A special thank you to Year 1's Mrs Chatta for her beautifully-presented explanation in Urdu.

Would you like to try and develop your English-speaking skills?

{alt_tag}

If Punjabi is your first language, you could access one of the many apps that support Punjabi speakers to learn English, including 'Speaking Course.' This app is free to download.

We would love to hear how useful you find it!

For examples of dual language children's stories in Punjabi and English, including 'The Wheels - The Friendship Race' please visit Waterstones by clicking HERE!
