Dear Parents and Guardians

Life can be challenging sometimes. We all make mistakes

and I know I have done on many occasions. Sometimes

those mistakes are unintentional but what one must always

have is hope to learn from those mistakes and make up for

them.

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful,

committed people can change the world. Indeed. It is the

only thing that ever has."

Margaret Mead, the famous American cultural anthropologist,

provides a point to ponder while describing what makes for a

highly effective team. The people behind most landmark

events in the world, whether in the political space or the

economic space, are neither individuals, nor large groups.

Rather, teams of a few people dedicated to their cause and

committed to seeing it through, and working by trusting and

helping one another, without trying to attain individual glory,

that has always made a difference.

Regardless of differences, we strive shoulder to shoulder...

Teamwork can be summed up in five short words: 'We

believe in each other’.

(HG Simpson)

“NEVER DOUBT THAT THE EFFORTS OF ONE PERSON

CAN CHANGE THE WORLD. INDEED, IT IS THE ONLY

THING THAT EVER HAS.”

Margaret Mead

We are grateful that a number of you are established volunteers within the school, however there is always room

for more! We are keen to place suitable people with up-to-date DBS checks as readers and helpers in regular

slots.

Parents, carers and families are by far the most important influences in a child's life. Their support can play a vital

role at all stages of education.

Parents who take on a supportive role in their children’s learning make a difference in improving achievement and

behaviour. The active involvement of parents can help promote a learning community in which children and young

people can engage positively with practitioners and their peers.

KEEPING YOUR CHILD SAFE from the NSPCC

Parental controls are an important way to keep your child safe online.

Parental controls can be used to block upsetting or harmful content, control in-app purchases or manage how long

your child spends online. And the good news is parental controls are really easy to set up.

Innocent searches sometimes reveal not-so-innocent results. So if you’re worried about what your child is

searching for online, who they’re talking to or what they’re seeing, we can help.

It’s simple to get started. And, along with talking to your child regularly, using parental controls is one of the best

ways to help keep children safe online. You’ll find lots more information on our website – or give us a call on 0808

800 5002 to chat to one of our expert NSPCC and O2 advisors.

Internet Safety

I was asked this week by a parent at school to include some things about internet safety. So here goes… I would

also be interested to know if you would like us to have an Internet safety evening for parents. If you feel this is a

4 key tips to help you:

o explore the online world together o talk to your child about staying safe online o manage the software and tools your family use o agree rules about what’s ok and what’s not

Attending 4½ days a week = 90% attendance = 4 weeks missed per year

Attending 4 days a week = 80% attendance = more than half a term missed per year.

Attending 3½ days each week = 70% attendance = more than a quarter of the school year missed.

An average attendance of 80% or less across a child’s school career adds up to missing a whole 2 years from

school.

Being late for school reduces learning time.

If your child is 5 minutes late every day they will miss three days of learning each year.

If your child is 15 minutes late every day they will miss 2 weeks of learning each year.

If you are reading this, I would assume you are clearly interested in your child’s education, but I wonder what their

attendance is?

Story of the Three Trees

Once upon a mountain top, three little trees stood and dreamed of what they wanted to

become when they grew up.

The first little tree looked up at the stars and said: “I want to hold treasure. I want to be covered with gold

and filled with precious stones. I’ll be the most beautiful treasure chest in the world!”

The second little tree looked out at the small stream trickling by on its way to the ocean. “I want to be

traveling mighty waters and carrying powerful kings. I’ll be the strongest ship in the world!”

The third little tree looked down into the valley below where busy men and women worked in a busy town. “I

don’t want to leave the mountain top at all. I want to grow so tall that when people stop to look at me, they’ll

raise their eyes to heaven and think of God. I will be the tallest tree in the world.”

Years passed. The rain came, the sun shone, and the little trees grew tall. One day three woodcutters

climbed the mountain.

The first woodcutter looked at the first tree and said, “This tree is beautiful. It is perfect for me.” With a

swoop of his shining axe, the first tree fell.

“Now I shall be made into a beautiful chest. I shall hold wonderful treasure!” the first tree said.

The second woodcutter looked at the second tree and said, “This tree is strong. It is perfect for me.” With a

swoop of his shining axe, the second tree fell.

“Now I shall sail mighty waters!” thought the second tree. “I shall be a strong ship for mighty kings!”

The third tree felt her heart sink when the last woodcutter looked her way. She stood straight and tall and

pointed bravely to heaven.

But the woodcutter never even looked up. “Any kind of tree will do for me,” he muttered. With a swoop of his

shining axe, the third tree fell.

The first tree rejoiced when the woodcutter brought her to a carpenter’s shop. But the carpenter fashioned

the tree into a feedbox for animals.

The once beautiful tree was not covered with gold, nor with treasure. She was coated with sawdust and

filled with hay for hungry farm animals.

The second tree smiled when the woodcutter took her to a shipyard, but no mighty sailing ship was made

that day. Instead, the once strong tree was hammered and sawed into a simple fishing boat. She was too

small and too weak to sail on an ocean, or even a river; instead, she was taken to a little lake.

4

The third tree was confused when the woodcutter cut her into strong beams and left her in a lumberyard.

“What happened?” the once tall tree wondered. “All I ever wanted was to stay on the mountain top and point

to God...”

Many, many days and nights passed. The three trees nearly forgot their dreams.

But one night, golden starlight poured over the first tree as a young woman placed her newborn baby in the

feedbox.

“I wish I could make a cradle for him,” her husband whispered.

The mother squeezed his hand and smiled as the starlight shone on the smooth and the sturdy wood. “This

manger is beautiful,” she said.

And suddenly the first tree knew he was holding the greatest treasure in the world.

One evening a tired traveller and his friends crowded into the old fishing boat. The traveller fell asleep as

the second tree quietly sailed out into the lake.

Soon a thundering and thrashing storm arose. The little tree shuddered. She knew she did not have the

strength to carry so many passengers safely through with the wind and the rain.

The tired man awakened. He stood up, stretched out his hand, and said, “Peace.” The storm stopped as

quickly as it had begun.

And suddenly the second tree knew he was carrying the king of heaven and earth.

One Friday morning, the third tree was startled when her beams were yanked from the forgotten woodpile.

She flinched as she was carried through an angry jeering crowd. She shuddered when soldiers nailed a

man’s hands to her.

She felt ugly and harsh and cruel.

But on Sunday morning, when the sun rose and the earth tremble with joy beneath her, the third tree knew

that God’s love had changed everything.

It had made the third tree strong.

And every time people thought of the third tree, they would think of God.

That was better than being the tallest tree in the world.

The next time you feel down because you didn’t get what you want, sit tight and be happy because God is

thinking of something better to give you.

What is the ACE Vision Statement?

This is the thing we all believe in and something that

many of the children in their classes have investigated

and looked into.

‘Faith, hope, and love abide.’ 1 Corinthians 13.13

Growing closer to God in faith;

Flourishing through the Gospel of hope;

Reaching out to our neighbours in love;

Rooted in the Christian faith, and with a love of learning

in our hearts, our vision inspires us to grow into the

people God is calling us to be.

Children in Year 5 have been looking at the meaning of

the Vision Statement and have been looking at it in a

creative way by using CLIPS, an Apple app. They came

up with some lovely results, producing a multimedia

presentation involving acting and music. Hopefully,

parents of children in Year 5 can see them during

Parents’ Evening.

Some of our children did notably well, with Caleb

winning overall in the Year 3 and 4 boys’ race, Isla and

Charlie (in Year 2) coming 3rd overall in the Year 3 and

4 girls’ and boys’ race and Grace coming a very

creditable 3rd in the Year 5 and 6 girls’ race.

Final Goodbye

Last week we said our final goodbye to a former student,

and an amazing man. Hopefully you have had the

chance to read some of the lovely thoughts different

people have said about this man.

I felt this was a lovely one…

As a school we feel honoured to have known Mr George

Stedman. Today we give a final goodbye. A true

gentleman and selfless individual. A man for all of us to

look up to.

Remember George when he is gone

But not with sorrow, pain and grief.

That in the winter falls from its branch

To be born again in spring,

And live forever in our hearts

Thank you, Mr Stedman. Rest in Peace.

Teddy and his very own Harry Potter story

I think the power of text is so important and I would

ask all parents how often do you read aloud to your

child/ren?

I think it is so important children feel inspired and

understand the beauty of books. Teddy has clearly

had the opportunity to learn about books and as a

result he produced a lovely piece of writing linked to

it. I hope you like some of the images from his story.

Well done, Teddy, for working so hard and produced

a fabulous well-presented piece of work.

He shall save His people from their sins.” “saviour” is

the meaning of the name, but it has a fuller sense

hidden within, for in its Hebrew form it means, “the

salvation of the Lord,” or, “the Lord of salvation,” or

“the saviour.” The angel interprets it, “He shall save,”

“And she shall bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He shall save His people from their

sins.”— Matthew 1:21 (NKJV)

He is not a saviour of our own setting up, but God the everlasting Father has set Him forth as our Deliverer

and saviour, saying, “You shall call His name Jesus.”

It is a name that the Holy Spirit explains to us, for He tells us the reason for the name of Jesus: “For He shall

save His people from their sins.” “saviour” is the meaning of the name, but it has a fuller sense hidden within,

for in its Hebrew form it means, “the salvation of the Lord,” or, “the Lord of salvation,” or “the saviour.” The

angel interprets it, “He shall save,” and the word used for He is very emphatic.

Why is Jesus called the Saviour? By Ollie

and Year 2

This is a really interesting question - whether

you are a Christian or not it is an interesting

question to consider. Year 2 has been looking

into this and you can see the lovely piece of

work Ollie has created. Ollie explains, amongst

many things, his name Jesus means saviour.

Well done to Ollie who presented his work so

well and added so much good detail.

God, who cannot be mistaken, calls Him Jesus,

a Saviour. Therefore, a saviour He must be, a

saviour on a grand scale—continually,

abundantly and in a most apparent manner! And

God will not refuse to accept the work that

Jesus has done, since by the gift of that name,

God has commissioned Him to save sinners.

When we plead the name of Jesus before God,

we bring Him back to His own Word and appeal

to Him by His own act and deed.

Jesus and miracles

Year 2 has also been looking at some of the

different miracles Jesus performed and why he

performed them. Amelia wrote a lovely piece of work

which really illustrated an in depth understanding of

some of those miracles.

Thank you, Amelia, for working so hard and making

your work look so good.

Roman Empire and a centurion by Jemima

I love it when children look at a piece of work and

consider a far more creative option when devising

what needs to be done. Jemima is a fabulously

hard-working student who also tries to look at things

from a different perspective. In this case, she wrote

a brilliant newspaper article regarding the Romans

and an extremely well-drawn image of a Roman

soldier and, as a result, she inspired me to find out

some bizarre facts about them .

1. Gladiator blood was recommended by Roman

physicians to aid various ailments, including epilepsy.

2. Purple clothing was a status symbol and

reserved only for emperors or senators. To

achieve the colour, a dye was made from murex

seashells. It was treason for anyone other than

the emperor to dress completely in purple.

3. Left-handed people were considered unlucky.

As many of you may be aware, I love it when our

children think about others and this is especially

important during the Christmas period. Thomas and

Maddy in Year 4, alongside the wonderful Milly, have

been raising money and getting gifts for others. Well

done to these children who had a chance to share the

wonderful cards that they created with Roger Purdom.

Roger, a man who has given up so much for others,

can really appreciate and understand the hard work

which goes into truly supporting others.

Eucharist is a re-enactment of the Last Supper, the

before his arrest, and eventual crucifixion. At the meal

I thank whatever gods may be

For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance

I have not winced nor cried aloud.

Under the bludgeonings of chance

My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears

Looms but the Horror of the shade,

And yet the menace of the years

Finds and shall find me unafraid.

How charged with punishments the scroll,

I am the master of my fate,

I am the captain of my soul.

News from around the country

Less than 2% of packed lunches meet guidelines

A study has found that just 1.6% of children’s packed lunches meet recommended nutritional

standards. This is a slight improvement on ten years earlier, when a similar study found that just

over 1% of packed lunches met standards. The overall amount of sugar is gradually declining, but

most still contained unhealthy levels of sugar, fat or salt, and were lacking in vitamins. The

nutritional content of meals offered by school canteens is generally much better. Mandatory

standards for school meals were laid out in 2006 but there are no set standards for food sent into

school by parents.

Comment: ‘Walking and cycling easiest options to tackle air pollution’

In a letter to the Independent, Rachel White, head of public affairs at Sustrans, urges the

Government to focus on encouraging walking and cycling in order to tackle toxic air. The charity’s

research suggests that: “If the targets to double journeys by cycle and increase walking in the UK

government’s Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy were met, this would prevent more than

8,300 premature deaths from air pollution in England over 10 years.”

Students paid to tackle racist language on campus

A university is to hire 20 of its own students to challenge language on campus which could be seen

as racist. The University of Sheffield is to pay students to tackle so-called "microaggressions" -

which it describes as "subtle but offensive comments". They will be trained to "lead healthy

conversations" about preventing racism on campus and in student accommodation.

Teachers left unprepared for sex education classes

A survey commissioned by Bett, a global organisation for the education technology community,

reveals that 29% of male teachers do not feel prepared to lead sex education classes, compared to

37% of women. Six in 10 (58%) of those in primary schools admitted to feeling unprepared, with

just half across all schools saying seven was the right age to begin learning about sex and

relationships in class. The survey results come as relationships and sex education (RSE) is due to

become compulsory in England's state schools from September. Dr Mary Bousted, from the

National Education Union, said: "Relationships and sex education is vital to ensure young people

grow up safe, happy and healthy. However, in order for the new RSE curriculum to be a success,

the Government must ensure teachers can access high-quality training and resources. It is

concerning so many teachers still feel unprepared."

Pupil exclusions continue to rise

Figures from the Department for Education reveal that 410,753 primary and secondary students

were excluded in 2017/8 - up 28,888 from 381,865 in 2016/17. Analysis shows that 26% students

were excluded for violence, drugs or alcohol issues between 2015 and 2018. Chris Keates, of the

NASWUT union, said the Government has "driven out qualified and specialist teachers". She said:

"The Government must take responsibility for the impact of policies which reduced support for

pupils for whom behaviour issues are a barrier to their learning. Pupil indiscipline is one of the

main reasons teachers leave, making it a big factor in the teacher supply crisis."
