YEAR 7 LEADERS<\/b><\/span><\/h3>
On Friday, we were lucky to have the Year 7 students on the Beckenham site to work with children across our team. The focus for the day was to plan and teach a variety of sessions to the children in our hubs as a means of developing their personal leadership skills. We were highly impressed with their organisation and and engagement for all. <\/span>

<\/span><\/a><\/div>PARENT HELP<\/span><\/b>

<\/span>
We love having parents and caregivers in the classroom to support the children with their learning. This may include reading a book of your choice with an individual or group of children, baking, playing games to help children to learning words or numbers. All these jobs make a huge difference<\/b> and are an excellent way to show the children how we really do get there together! <\/b>If you have some free time on a Monday to Thursday between 9:00am and 12:30pm, and would love to get involved, please let your child's point of contact teacher know by either sending us an email or coming in and having a chat. <\/span><\/span>Any help would be greatly appreciated!<\/span><\/span>

Helping each other with learning<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>We have been discussing the responsibilities that we all have that help to make our families a great place to be. Many children have commented on the fact that they each have different jobs to do at home, e.g., loading the dishwasher, making their bed, packing their school bag to picking up the dog poo! All of these responsibilities enable us to contribute in meaningful ways.<\/span>
In Year 3\/4, we know the importance of growing student self-management skills to enable children to be successful both at home and at school.  Promoting:<\/span>
