After a successful Outdoor Classroom Day, we decided to focus on how we can improve our outdoor learning zones.
We have listed items we think could improve the zones and have made a wish list with prices. We have already planned how we can turn our small park into a calm zone with outdoor activities.
We’ve also designed outdoor activities to trial with foundation Phase children and we really enjoyed working with the younger children.
Collaborative working
This week we joined forces with the Healthy Schools Senedd. Both teams have been thinking about developing the KS2 yard, so we found out what each other’s plans were. Great ideas for quiet areas to read, write and act out stories. Can’t wait to make them happen!
The Government is rolling out Universal Credit to those of working age in Swansea from 13th December 2017 . People will need to claim Universal Credit instead of making a new claim for Housing Benefit, Income Support, Jobseekers Allowance, Employment Support Allowance, Child Tax Credit and/or Working Tax Credit.
If you are awarded an amount of Universal Credit you will be eligible for Free School Meals. Even if your child does not wish to have the free dinners it is important that parents/carers apply for Free school meals if they are eligible, as the school receives funding as a result of the number of children in the school who are eligible for free school meals. This funding allows a range of measures to be put in place aimed at raising attainment, increasing opportunities and supporting all learners.
