Dear Parents / Carers,

It is hard to believe that we are now in the finalterm of this school year! The summer term isalways a busy one, with lots of events andactivities throughout the next few months. Years4 and 6 are particularly excited about theirimminent visits to Delaware outdoor centre andLondon! As we are hopeful of some more sunnyweather to come, our sun safe guidance isattached to this newsletter for your information.Thinking of sunny days on the beach, we aregrateful to the RNLI andbeach lifeguards, wholed an assembly lastweek all about stayingsafe whilst having fun inand around the water. It was lovely to seemany parents at our maths morning this week. Ifthere are any other areas where you feel a parentworkshop would be helpful, please let us know.

Thank you for responding to the parentquestionnaire that was completed at the time ofthe parent teacher meetings. The results have allbeen collated and were overwhelmingly positiveand the additional positive comments made weremuch appreciated by all the staff. It is our aim toalways respond to parents’ views and to keep youinformed as well as we possibly can, and so yourviews are really important to us.

Some of the key areas were:

All parents completing the questionnaire agreedthat their child makes good progress, is taughtwell, is well looked after and is offered a widerange of interesting and enjoyable activities, with99% agreeing that they feel safe in school, thatthe school is well led and managed, that pupilstake responsibility for making good choices andthat they are clear how to help their child withlearning at home.

Some of the areas that we will be addressing are:The school takes account of pupils’ views – 95%agreed with this statement, with 4% unsure. Wewill therefore aim to keep you and your childrenfully informed of how we respond to their views,often expressed through the pupil council.

91% of parents felt that the use of Seesaw,Facebook and the website motivated their child towant to share their learning. We will consider howwe can make better use of these ways of sharinglearning with you and would welcome any otherides that you or child might have on how thiscould be improved.

If you have any ideas, issues or feedback at anytime, please do get in touch as we are always keento hear your views and to understand what workswell for you and your child and what could beeven better.

MILE-A-DAY TO MARATHONInspired by the London Marathon, SIJS will betaking part in their own marathon challenge! Aspart of Mile a Day, all adults andchildren have been set thechallenge of completing a halfor a full marathon by the end ofthe term. Every day during Mile aDay every child will record thenumber of laps they completedin their own personal logbook and keep a runningtotal.

YEAR 3 EXPLORING AT STEEPLE

On Monday, year 3 pupils had a really excitingday being explorers. The day started off with avisit to Steeple Woods, where first we heard thestory of Juliane Koepcke, who amazingly fell twomiles from a plane and crashed into the Amazonrainforest, only to survive! Juliane then used hersurvival skills in the jungle for 11 days beforebeing rescued. We, like Juliane would have, thenstarted building our own shelters using only theresources in the woods. Our creative skillsdefinitely started to shine and no two dens lookedthe same! We also fully explored the woods bygoing on a scavengerhunt, finding weirdand wonderful plantsand objects. Back atschool in theafternoon, wedeveloped oursurvival skills furtherby making a teepeecamp fire out of twigsand finally we satback and enjoyeddelicious toastedmarshmallows!

NUMBERS COUNT!Many thanks to the parents and carers thatvisited school for our maths morning on Tuesday.The enthusiasm to find outmore about how we deliverthe maths curriculum wasmuch appreciated and thechildren enjoyed being ableto learn alongside theirguests. It was great to beable to share our belief thatwe can all 'do' maths andthat good maths is notabout how many answers we know, but how webehave when we don't know!

Cornwall’s Early Help Offer

Cornwall’s Family Hubs support children, young people

and their families pre-birth to 25 years. Delivering in-

tegrated services to improve outcomes for children,

young people and their families with a particular focus

upon families in the greatest need of support in order

to reduce inequalities in: child development, parental

aspiration and achievement, self-esteem and parenting

skills, and child and family health and life chances.

There are six Family Hub cluster areas in Cornwall each

delivering services to offer help with:

High Quality Education

Employment and Training Support

What is Signs of Safety?

Signs of Safety is about you and your family members working together, alongside professionals (health visi-tors, social workers, teachers, doctors, [police etc.), to meet the needs of your children in the best way possi-ble. It puts children, young people, their parents, car-ers and families at the heart of the work.

Families play a key part in working together with professionals, making clear the worries and concerns identified for their child, (who is worried and why), identifying the things that are going well in the child’s life (strengths), and agreeing what needs to be done (goals), to build on strengths and reduce wor-ries.

What difference will Signs of Safety make to the way professionals work with you and your children?

We use Signs of Safety to make sure that your children’s and your views, as parents/carers, are fully heard, with the strengths of your family clearly identified and included in the plans and actions needed to keep your child safe and/or promote their wellbeing. Professionals will be trying to make sure this happens by asking you questions such as:

“What do you think is going well?”

“What are worried about?”

“What needs to change?” Signs of Safety is a way of making sure that everyone involved in your child’s life has the same understanding of what is happening in your child’s life and what needs to be differ-ent. Using Signs of Safety we try and explain in a simple way, using danger statements and safety goals, what worries people have about your child, what your strengths are, and what needs to happen for everyone to be confident that your child is safe and well.

Signs of Safety aims to get everyone who cares about your child and who helps and sup-port you, including your extended family to think about ways they can help your child feel safe, healthy and settled.

Talking to children

Talking to your children is at the heart of Sign of Safety. It is important that children, as well as adults, have an opportuni-ty to talk about what they are worried about, what makes them happy, and what they would like to see happen in their family and community to keep them safe. The Signs of Safety approach uses a direct work tool including The Three Houses to talk to children and ask them their views.
