Term 6
This is it! The last term and what a year it has been. The year is flying through. We are doing all we can to ensure that we finish the year with a bang and it has already started this week with a morning out at Riverside Garden Centre. Plenty more to look forward to as well as we complete what has been a fantastic year already, but we will also be saying goodbye to three of our pupils who will be leaving us for new provisions at the end of July.
Last reminder: If your child shows any signs of illness or symptoms and is likely to be off school please can you inform us as soon as possible. This can either be directly to the school reception team (0117 3533450) or via my email. We do encourage you that if your child is unwell that you consider the health and wellbeing of other pupils and staff in the class as this can have a significant impact on what we can achieve in school.
Term 6’s agenda: Claremont Activity Diploma work, Our community and Bristol life topic, transition, post 16 connect with Kingsweston school various activities and sessions.
RSE - Connections and relationship (meeting new people)
ASDAN- Units: Finishing up ready for transition and moderation.
Swimming
Our swimming sessions will on a Friday. Your child will be going fortnightly, but we will always try for weekly sessions when possible.
Home-school contact
Please use the home-school diary or email me with any questions and updates. It would be useful to know if your child is out of sorts, has had any additional medications (eg paracetamol/antibiotics) etc.
If you need to speak to me urgently please phone the school office.
If your child is going to be absent for any reason we really appreciate an early morning phone call to the office and a message left on the answering machine, as this greatly helps us plan our staffing. Thank you.
Reminder of what’s needed in school
- Change of clothes kept in school, useful for any messy days.
- A supply of pads, wet wipes and creams if needed. (We will write in your diary if these are running low.)
- Emergency medication and spare buttons as well as any daily medication as well as occasional medication (eg. paracetamol) - Please check medication and button dates. Please be reminded that medication is now stored in school.
- Snacks and squash if your child needs these.
- Clothes that are appropriate for the weather, especially during outdoor learning sessions.
- Blanket to go over laps when the weather is really cold.
Earwig
We will continue to add photos and comments about what your child is getting up to at school.
Please note - we do a lot more than we can possibly share and will do our best to keep you informed.
If you have any issues accessing Earwig please do let us know. Please continue to make use of the extra feature where you can send us photos, comments or videos of what your child has been doing at home - This is lovely for your child to see and share with Staff.
