 It has been lovely to see all the children back in school enjoying time with their friends. Thank you for your support in ensuring that the transition back to school went smoothly. 

The children have been enjoying the recovery curriculum designed to support children's mental and emotional wellbeing following the turbulence of the last year. Classes have been sharing stories, discussing mental health and the teachers have prioritised spending time with the children to discuss any concerns and rebuild relationships. 

Due to the current pandemic and school reopening there have been some very good resources released to support families to manage stress and promote wellbeing at this time. In order to ensure you can access them we will continue to highlight them on the weekly newsletter rather than wait for this monthly blog. 

If your child is struggling with anxiety there are some very good websites that may help you open the discussion.

Just One Norfolk- Anxiety

Barnardos- resources to help manage your child's feeling when they return to school

Cbeebies- Calming techniques

Just One Norfolk- managing worries

After the Easter Holidays we will be holding parent consultation evenings via zoom. I will be offering SEND parent appointments across the 3 nights. If you would like an appointment to discuss your child's needs please contact the office to book an appointment. I would suggest that you make the appointment after your meeting with the class teacher as they may be best placed to answer a lot of your initial questions.

During this summer term the children have enjoyed a variety of events such as The Norfolk Show, Sports Day and the Summer Fayre, as well as school trips. Whilst these days are enjoyable, for some children, these events and the change to routine can be very unsettling and induce anxiety. Thank you for working with us to support your child. The children have been amazing, and overcoming their fears has allowed them to create some special memories.  The children are beginning to think about their next class, so I wanted to take the opportunity to outline SEND transition arrangements. Depending on your child's needs, they will take part in some or all of these  transition activities.  Transition Days- 14th and 15th July. Children will arrive in their classes in the morning. They will be told by their current teacher, who their next teacher(s) will be. The children will then move to spend the day in their new classroom.  Some children with SEND who find transition very challenging will

We have had a successful start to term and we have been very proud of the way that the children have transitioned back after the holidays.  We have recently had some questions regarding our Nurture provision. We are lucky to have a wonderful Nurture team led by experienced practitioners.  In our school Nurture is used as an umbrella term. Within the Nurture team a variety of different interventions are run from Zones of Regulation to Lego Therapy. The team work with children individually and in small groups. They also work with children to help them manage their worries and anger. We are led by the needs of the children at the time.  The children attending nurture are identified by the class teacher and following a conversation with the Sendco we contact parents regarding the suggested provision. The sessions are usually held once a week.  If your child is experiencing overwhelming anxiety that is only presenting outside of school, then Just One Norfolk have some useful resources on th
