Our value for the month of November is Cooperation.
School Website
We now have a new school website:
www.bishopstonprimaryschool.wales
Take a moment to click the link and have a look. There is still work
to be done, and improvements to be made. If you have time we
would appreciate your feedback. Go onto the ’Contact Us’ page,
scroll down to where it says “To give feedback on the website,
please click here”.
Click the link and
reply to three
questions.
We’ve put the work
in because we want
to improve the
communication
between home and
school, so your
feedback really is
important to us.
Croeso!
Welcome back all! Hope-
fully everyone had a
lovely break with family
and friends and are now
raring to go.
This term is a crucial
term for learning. In the Autumn pupils can take time to settle,
then we have Christmas. This one is where the key progress can
happen— attendance is therefore crucial. Talk to the children
about their targets and what they’re doing to achieve them.
Governors The governors of the school came in on Thursday 18th to ’meet the staff’, it gave everyone the opportunity to discuss issues and progress. For any parents who aren’t sure, our Governors are listed on the school website. Chair of Governors is Kath Mattingly and the Vice Chair is Al Roberts. If you do have queries or concerns the points of call should be: 1st—Class Teacher; 2nd—Head Teacher; 3rd—Governors. Hopefully this ensure all issues are addressed and dealt with. There is currently a Parent Governor vacancy—further details to follow.
Reminders and Feedback
For the children’s safety, please don’t use
the drive between the hours of 8:15-9:00
and 3:00-3:40.
We know our school is a hassle for
dropping off and picking up, there is no
perfect solution.
However, we all
want the children
to be healthy, so
let’s all attempt to
walk/scooter/ride
from a bit further
away.
STEM Week We need your help… We are having a STEM week in Bishopston Primary school on 14th May.
The STEM week focuses on Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. The children will have the opportunity to take part in various tasks that will develop their knowledge in one of the above areas and raise the profile of these important subjects.
We would also like to run a careers afternoon within the week where the children will have the opportunity to question adults who use or have used these subjects in their daily work.
So if your work involves or use to involve one of the above areas, we would love it if you could spare some time to come in and share your experiences with the children. The aim being for the children to see how important STEM is in the outside world and to see the various career opportunities that are available if they study a STEM subjects in school.
If you think you could help us with the STEM career afternoon please get in touch with Mrs Ellis (Reception teacher).
Curriculum Committee The Curriculum Committee is working hard on looking into ways to improve the curriculum, and the way in which we learn. We have discussed the positives and negatives of teaching strategies and learning opportunities that we have in school and are preparing to present our findings to the teaching staff. We have created our aims and vision statement for our committee and we are enjoying our meetings and having our voice and opinions heard and listened to. The Aims of the Curriculum Committee
To make learning fun and exciting but keeping standards high. To make sure children are comfortable in what they are learning To ensure teaching and learning strategies are interesting and engaging – e.g cooking,
geography etc... To ensure all pupils are confident learners for later on in life.
We worked in groups to come up with the aims of our committee. We worked in mixed year groups (4 big groups) We have started to think about writing a slogan/motto for our committee. Some ideas we already have:
Friendship in learning Every learning helps Fun for learning Fun makes learning soar/fly
Wish List After School Club have asked if people could donate
toys. We thought now might be a good time to ask—
you may need a post Christmas clear out!
If you see any good quality carpet, it would be great to
replace the carpet area in the Nursery (approx’ 12m²).
Great work on the new lights—you may have seen our
the picture on twitter. Thanks to Chris White and Graham Spanner for giving up their time
in the Christmas Holidays.
Attendance We’re on 96.4% - we’re still 0.4% above our target. Please don’t book holidays though during term time. This term we can help the pupils make great progress—but only if they’re here!!
This is our attendance this term (96.5%) overall.
Class prizes are in place for the class with the best attendance this half term.
This is our attendance from September (96.4%) overall.
