Introducing the St. Clement’s School Council and UNICEF Committee 2017 – 2018.
Look out for all the fabulous things they will be doing, share your ideas with them and take note of the ‘UNICEF Children’s Rights’ they will be promoting.
Article 29: Education must develop every child’s personality, talents and abilities to the full. It must encourage the child’s respect for human rights, as well as respect for their parents, their own and other cultures, and the environment.
To work as a team, build resilience and show empathy for my peers.
This term, in PSHE Years 5 and 6 are learning about ‘Living In The Wider World’. As part of their topic they are working with a company called ‘Dare to Dream’ and mentor Steve Farmer, who is delivering a program called ‘Time to Shine’.
The program builds resilience, tolerance and confidence which helps children to work together.
This week they looked at positive and negative environments and how their behaviour and attitudes can affect this. They worked together to discuss things important to them and collaborated ideas to present their work.

This week we discussed the importance of having a voice and being able to express our feelings about matters that affect us. The children were able to identify that the School Council collect and share pupil voice and help children create change important to them. The children presented speeches on why they would be an asset to the School Council. Pupils then voted for who they wanted representing their class.

This term, in PSHE, Year 2 are learning about ‘Living In The Wider World’. This week we looked at why it is important to listen to others and how it feels when our voice is heard and opinions considered. The children played the ‘Question Game’ and were able to answer the questions and give fabulous reasons.
Why do we look at the person who is talking?
How do we show we are listening?
How do you feel when people listen to what you are saying?
Why is your voice important?
During the lesson we were visited by the school nurse, who discussed ‘Oral Hygiene’ with the children. The children met Lilly the dragon and were able to tell her what she would need to brush her very large teeth, how often she should clean them and get them checked and why it is important to keep her teeth clean and healthy.
This term, in PSHE, Year 1 are learning about ‘Living In The Wider World. For their first session we looked at what it means to be a good listener and why it is important to listen to others. The children played the game ‘Simon Said’, although they found this hard at the beginning they were soon able to listen to the instructions and have great fun at the same time.

This week we held our first ‘Learning Through Stories’ session. The course runs for five weeks and is delivered by Megan Sour. The first half of the session parents learnt techniques in how to engage their children in stories. For the second half, parents were joined by their children and put to test the new skills they had learnt. The first book to excite the children was ‘Handa’s Surprise’. The children made their own books and enjoyed some yummy fruit.
Another great session at St. Clement’s Stay and Play. This week we had new families come along and join in the fun. The children enjoyed using the soft play area and playing with construction toys. The babies too had a fabulous time in the ‘Teddy Reading Pit’ – sharing stories with their parents and friends.
Wednesday 9am – 10am St. Clement’s School Hall
The first week back to St. Clement’s Stay and Play and the children couldn’t wait to get started. They enjoyed seeing each other after the holidays and spent sometime outside playing together. Song time is still a much loved part of the session and the children are becoming more involved in singing along.
Look out for next weeks session or come along and join in the fun!
