Year 11 Art
Art and fresh air are both good for our mental health and well being, so Year 11 GCSE Art pupils went outside today to create indented clay panels for their Texture project.

Big day in school today.
Very exciting news in school today! We have been attempting to gain the RRS (Rights Respecting Schools) Silver Award over the past year and today all the hard work and endeavour has been realised, as after a 3 hour meeting school was awarded the RRS Silver Award.
This is a great achievement for school, so well done to all the staff and pupils involved – you should all be very proud of yourselves and your achievements
😯 Miss Oliver’s group entered into the RRS(Right’s, respecting School)competition and worked together with Mrs Devlin and Miss Lee with the children to make up a story to help them remember the Class Charter rights and their is 42 so it was a massive job. The class decided on using a mnemonics tool suggested by Bobby Rockett. Mnemonics is a tool that helps us remember certain facts or large amounts of information, and is particularly useful when the order of things is important such as out rights. They can come in the form of a song, rhyme, acronym, image, phrase or sentence. Mrs Devlin has attached the final competition entry which was judged has one of the winners. Well done everyone in 😯 that’s amazing.

Hazel class spent time talking about their rights.
To support our understanding we placed the statements around the classroom next to examples.
Article 19: Pupils decided they wanted to stick the article next to the fire alarm in class.
Article 12: We placed this with the ‘Tell-Me Tree’ in class. In Hazel class we might draw pictures, write down or take photographs of things we are proud of or something that we are worried about, to then discuss with an adult or peer.
Article 13: Pupils wanted this next to the computers.
Article 31: This went next to the choice cupboard.
Article 28: We put this article on our working wall that has all of our wonderful work on.
Article 24: We decided to put a copy of this article on the hand washing station and on our snack box.
Article 29, 7 and 8: These articles went onto our targets/about me wall.
Article 39: Pupils stuck this to our classroom door above the switch that when pressed says :Open the door please”.
Article 30: We placed on our PECS books as they help us with our communication.
Hazel class loved PE today.
We were fire fighter bears saving the day.
We had to crawl under and along benches. We climbed up and over like fire fighters would with their ladders. We then jumped down after putting the fire out and crawled back to the start.
Hazel class enjoyed being fire fighter bears.
When we were finished we spoke about the importance of keeping the equipment clean for the next class.
Great work Hazel team!

Hazel class were happy to be back together in their bubble.
We hope you have a lovely day too!
After finding ourselves needing to work from home for three days, that’s just what we did…work from home.
We couldn’t have been prouder of the way the children adapted (not to mention the parents and carers)
The work produced at home was amazing and even though we missed seeing everyone in person, it was great keeping in touch via Class Dojo, seeing photos, sending messages and talking on the phone to parents and carers.
Here is a flavour of what the children got up to…
Article 28: We have the right to a good quality education.
What lovely afternoon was had by the children in Birch. Games were played and after a fire safety talk, a fire was lit and the children enjoyed toasting marshmallows. The marshmallows were delicious and it was good to be outside learning and having fun.
Article 31: We all have the right to relax and play.
Morning Everyone
Hope your all well and I hope our Secondary pupils are enjoying the remote learning, I’ve joined some of the lessons and it’s great to see the learning that is taking place.
Primary staff are really pleased to see our pupils back in school yesterday and we have had a couple of visitors from the Federation in school helping out. Both have been extremely complimentary about the work they can see taking place.
There has been confusion about return to school as we were unsure when the 14 days started. It has been confirmed that the 1st day of isolation is the day after the last time your child was in contact with the member of staff.
The return to school dates for next week are below. We have been in touch with transport to arrange taxis commencing for these days.
10N to return to school on September 29th
9F to return on the 29th September
8R to return on the 30th September
9B to return on the 1st October
