We would like to draw your attention to  three free webinars over the summer holidays to support young people with the milestones and transitions that happen at this time of year. The first two are for parents, and the third is for older students. The Anna Freud Society often has resources like this for various areas of well-being, so it would be worth having a look at the website even if these ones aren’t relevant.

Webinars for transition

1. Supporting young people with anxiety before results day – 8th August, 2pm
2. Transition to secondary school: supporting your Year 7 child – 9th August, 2pm
3. Managing your wellbeing when transitioning to university – 22nd August, 2pm

We thought it would be nice to share this lovely feedback on how well our children did in their recent pedestrian training. Thank you to all our parents who volunteered to help make this possible:

‘Stepping Out’ Pedestrian Training – Report and School Feedback (Spring Term 2023) Date of training: 24 & 31 January 2023 Year groups participating: Year 3, 4 and 5

Road Safety Officer’s Report – Ray Hughes

The School

Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to return to deliver the full ‘Stepping Out’ pedestrian training scheme on behalf of Shropshire Council. I benefited from fantastic support from Mr Glover, Mrs Crowe and their Support Staff plus a super set of parents recruited for the observed walk. Thank you also for preparing the children so well in the classroom to compliment the practical training.

The children

The children engaged very well in the training and all the observers commented how fantastic they were on their observed walks. Good listening skills and excellent (safe) roadside behaviour.  All thoroughly deserved their certificates.

You have probably seen on the news a lot of information about teacher strikes.  I just wanted to let you know that to the best of our knowledge, none of the teachers at Myddle will be striking. If we are given any different information from union representatives, we will let you know.

As you know, we buy into the Shropshire Music Service at school and benefit from their fantastic teacher Mrs Kessel-Fell, as well as peripatetic instrument teachers. Did you know that you can also join bands, choirs and other ensembles out of school? The brilliant news is that from January, these are now free!! I can’t recommend these highly enough – the teaching is second to none, your children will make new friends and have so much fun. It improves their playing so much being in an ensemble so if your child is enjoying their music in school, please consider taking the next step and joining a group.
