School Council interview with Mrs Clitheroe…

Sophia and Xandy’s interview with Mrs Clitheroe

 

How long have you been working at the Priory School?

30 years.

 

What did you do before working at the Priory School?

Before working at the Priory School, I did an apprenticeship with Hampshire Country Council. I stopped working for Hampshire County Council when they stopped providing fresh food for schools. I then worked for a catering company. I was invited to come and work at the Priory and planned to stay for only 5 years!

What test did you have to do to get your 5-star food hygiene rating?

I did not have to do a test. Instead, a food inspector comes and inspects the school kitchen. They checked how clean the kitchen is; how food is stored; that temperatures of food are recorded; how the kitchen staff deal with allergens and cross contamination and discuss staff training.  The inspection is very strict, and we are not told when an inspection is going to happen.  The food inspector just arrives without warning.

What is your favourite food and what is your favourite school dish to make?

My favourite food is cheese. My favourite school dish depends upon my mood, it is probably cheese and broccoli slice.

News from Year R…

What have we been learning about in Year R this week?

The children enjoyed listening to the story ‘Billy’s Bucket’. They shared the different purposes a bucket might have e.g. making sandcastles, washing cars, putting crabs in, carrying water. The children also created their own seaside scenes and carefully thought about what you might find at the seaside. The children also played a memory game where they thought about what they might put into a bucket. Each child thought about something to put in the bucket but they also had to remember all of the items that each child had put in before them too. It was a great memory game!

The children enjoyed exploring maps of the world and the local area this week. They particularly enjoyed looking on google maps where we zoomed into the local area around the school. The children all wanted to find the road where they live, which we didn’t have time to do so it would be great if you could spend some time with your child looking on google maps at where you live and your local area around you.

In PE, the children practise their ball skills. They practised throwing and catching a ball with a partner and also worked in a group of 4 where they called out the name of the child they were throwing the ball to. This was great for their attention as they needed to listen carefully for their name and be ready to catch the ball.

Next week:

The children will be learning some interesting facts about different sea animals. They will also have the opportunity to make their own fact book about the sea animals they have learnt about.

In Maths, the children will be practising addition and subtraction skills and also focusing on number formation.

The children will be having their ‘move up’ morning to Year 1 on Wednesday with their new teacher, Miss Hollingshead. They will have lots of fun getting to know her and finding out about some of the things they will be doing in Year 1.

We are hoping for each child in the class to decorate a glass jar as part of an end of year R activity. Therefore, we are asking for any empty glass jars you have at home please to be brought into school. We would like a glass jar for each child. If you do have any jars, please could they be brought into school next week ready for us to decorate in the final week of term.

Have a lovely weekend.

Safeguarding

Summer Time Screen Time

It’s summer and the school holidays are nearly here! While we can’t guarantee sun time, we can predict high levels of screen time for our children and young people during the school holiday season.

It might seem that the easiest option for managing screen time is to not allow it at all, but screen time activities like gaming and social media are a source of fun for children and young people. It is often how they communicate with their friends while they’re not seeing them every day at school, so banning all screen time would most likely be counterproductive or even harmful, as it can cut off children and young people from their outside world.

A more productive approach would be to establish boundaries and develop healthy habits, which will balance their screen time while also ensuring their needs are recognised.

Here are some tips to help you begin the journey to less screen time with the children and young people in your care.

At INEQE Safeguarding Group you can find a host of resources to support you over the summer holidays with ensuring your family is set up for safe screen time.
