ECE & Primary Daily News – Thursday, 28 September

Good Morning!

…and Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!

As mentioned during the briefing yesterday, we had almost 100 nominations for everyday hero. If you get the time, do have a read through of all them (you’ll need to click to enlarge)…it’s a great way to lift you up in the morning. The MS form for the ‘everyday hero’  produced a Wordle of the main words and terms of the nominations, and it produced the following image. I think these words describe our staff perfectly. We really do have a great team.

Hope you all manage to have a restful break, and we wish everyone a happy Moon Festival and National holiday!

Message from CP Campus Student Support:

I have had to move this week’s student support workshop, ‘strategies to support students with ADHD and focus difficulties’ to next week. Please see the new dates below. 

The same workshop will run twice:

  • Tuesday 26th September –  P7 – Y6 Learning Community – ADHD/Focus Workshop for strategies to use in the classroom.
  • Thursday 28st September – P4- Y5 Learning Community – ADHD/Focus Workshop for strategies to use in the classroom.

I have had a number of staff requesting strategies or having difficulties with particular students, so I want to offer those staff my support. I will run some voluntary workshops for staff that are requesting various strategies. 

The workshops will focus on a particular need, and we can run these whilst there is a need for it. So, next week I will start with a focus on ADHD/focus strategies for in the classroom. This is aimed at Years 5-7 but anyone would be welcome to come along if you feel that this would support the students that you are teaching.

Please send me an email if you wish to attend so we can plan accordingly. Caroline.haigh@ycis.com
