NEW FOUNDATION STAGE PLAYGROUND
|
|
|
|
After waiting patiently and watching the construction with great interest through their classroom windows, our youngest learners are thrilled to get out and experience their new playground. For these little ones, there's not a lot better than playing outside in a mud-kitchen, climbing wooden castles, hopping on stepping stones and running through willow tunnels! #FunwithFriends #OutsidePlay #Wellbeing
Here, our director, Mrs. Alison Lipp, is testing the equipment for safety and the "fun factor". #Approved

Y12 UNUSUAL COLLABORATION SPACE

Sometimes working in a new environment can boost productivity, improve the growth mindset, enhance team work and raise morale. Of course, we can't say the same for our IT manager, who was not charmed by this unusual group work. #LaptopInsurance #TeenageBrain #WhatRisk?

PARENTING PRESENTATION 9 JUNE 7PM
|
|
|
THE TEENAGE BRAIN...
Decision-making is a process of weighing Risk, Goals & Rewards. Teenagers weigh these factors differently to adults due to their lessened sensitivity toward loss and heightened impulsivity - thanks to teenage hormones.
The good news is there are clear actions we can take to help them control teenage impulsiveness and make better choices. Speaker: Ms Danielle Mashon.

Climbing Wall
Last week the PTSA and the school joined forces to bring in a mobile climbing wall to give the children a chance to try something different and challenge themselves. We were happy to bring something in that the majority of year groups could enjoy and we understand the students rocked it!
The book club also managed to get together in person for the first time and enjoyed the combination of cheese, wine and literature as they discussed positive psychology books.
We still have events coming up to celebrate the end of the school year:
- The high school students are busy planning their graduation prom on Saturday 28th May - please sign up to support with food and drink (please find link below under "Dates for your diary").
- A family BBQ will be taking place after school on Friday 10th June - all welcome.
- An end of year fayre will take place after elementary graduation on Wednesday 15th June. Please note parents are reminded that they are responsible for their children. We still need help making (they don't have to be perfect!) and manning the carnival games. If you'd like an after school/weekend project check out some of these ideas for home made carnival games and let me know if you can provide one for the day:
