THIS WEEK'S NEWS
SHOWBIE AND ZOOM Please continue to check when children have been missing from Zoom lessons and if they have not uploaded any work to Showbie. If this is the case then they are 'missing' so please alert Gemma or Jane.
MYON Please sign up to a session in the ICT suite next week for MyOn. It will be useful for you to see how it works and Simon will be on hand to help. It is also a nice, simple Zoom lesson to set for the children at home.
LOCAL WALKS These have been very successful so far. Please arrange with your class to go out if they haven't done already. It can be stand alone and doesn't have to link.
VALENTINES ZOOM There will be a valentines zoom on the last night of term, it's something to look forward to and should be a giggle. If you would like to host a game on the night, then just let Gemma know :)
MATHLETICS Remember to plan a Mathletics lesson in- a very useful resource :)
NATALIE is available for displays and admin jobs around school. She'd very very grateful to be kept busy.
JAKE Well done Jake for completing your placement. Hopefully you won't be a stranger.

TWITTER Please keep on tweeting the amazing work you're doing. It's great to see and is a quick way to demonstrate to parents and the school community the work taking place across the school.
ANDY HELLON We are having a collection for Joshua. Andy would like to purchase a bench of some sort to remember Joshua by. Please transfer your contribution to Mrs Mullane. Thank you.
COURSE FEEDBACK A reminder for all staff that if you attend a course (even via zoom) please can you complete the online form feeding back on how useful the course was. This is our way at school of tracking the impact of any training attended and also highlights what may need sharing with other staff in the school. The link is below but can also be found as a button near the bottom of every newsletter. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScAJYp2DQ8_3IF4CbUroJyoboOayyqBkiFv_BsFl3PWQQmQmA/viewform?usp=sf_link

LADDERS Putting up a display? Please make sure you’re using ladders and not chairs and tables.
Seen anything of a CONCERN? Please fill in the appropriate form in the staff room and hand in to the office as soon as possible.
Safeguarding
Safeguarding
Use CPOMS to record anything that is of a concern. However, if you feel it's significant and needs to be dealt with asap, please speak to Jane or Gemma.
If you see someone in school that you don't know - without a pass - please challenge them and ask them who they are!
Make sure you're always wearing a pass!
Remind children that staff have a blue pass and visitors have a sticker.
Keep completing these online forms to feedback on courses, trips, visits and drop ins. This includes visits to other schools, collaborative groups…etc. It helps us keep an impact on any CPD that takes place.
Mrs Whalen (Designated Safeguarding Lead)
Miss Steele (Deputy DSL)
If they're not available please see Mr Kemp.
✅ Review, review and review learning throughout a lesson. Keep referring back to LI and SC and how well they’re doing.
✅ Can’t think of something to write when feeding back?? Remember: QUESTION-ACTION-CHALLENGE
✅ Now Try…Explain why…are two great sentence starters (particularly for Maths) when feeding back.
✅ Plan time for pupils to respond to feedback – make sure you demonstrate this .
