Year 1 Reminder

As part of our 'Belonging' unit in RE this term, we are thinking about the groups and communities that we belong to. On Thursday 19^th October, the children are invited to bring to school the uniform of a club that they attend (e.g. Rainbows, Beavers, sports clubs etc.) to change into for the afternoon. Alternatively, they could bring in an item from a group that they belong to. Examples could include swimming goggles, ballet shoes or a family photo.

Whole School Art Project

We are happy to completing another whole school Christmas art project for display at the Holy Cross Church in Daventry. 

Mrs Davis led us in creating our Monksmoor Angel Joy last year for the Holy Cross Christmas tree festival and we won first prize.  This year there is no festival but we are honoured to have been asked to produce a piece of art for the Church to display throughout December.

Mrs Davis is leading our project and she and our classes would like you and your children to help in a variety of ways please: 

• Can you collect pine cones and acorns on your autumnal walks?  
• Can you supply us with any white decorations, wool and ribbons?
• We also need white stuffing to make a snowman's body.  We need old (but clean) cushion or pillow insides/filling.

If you can help with any of the above please send it to your child's classroom in a bag labelled for Mrs Davis.  Thank you in advance for your support!

Families of Neuro-Atypical Children

Balancing the different needs of family members is always a challenge, but if a child in the family has autism, this can be even more demanding. It can be difficult for parents under this kind of pressure to model emotional regulation which in turn impacts on the children and can quickly become a negative cycle. Identifying support networks such as family, friends, or support groups of other parents who have children with autism can be a huge help.

For more information please see the Dragonfly Impact newsletter on our website.
