CHILDREN CHAMPIONS

The children have voted and this years Pupil Council and UNICEF representatives have been chosen.

Together they will be called ‘Children Champions’ and will carry out a range of tasks. Firstly, they will be looking at changing the academy’s house point system and designing and calculating cost for a KS2 outdoor classroom. Whilst carrying out these jobs the Champions will also be collecting pupil voice and making sure the views of the students of St. Clements Academy are heard.

Article 12: Every child has the right to express their
views, feelings and wishes in all matters
affecting them, and to have their views
considered and taken seriously. This right
applies at all times, for example during
immigration proceedings, housing decisions
or the child’s day-to-day home life.

Well done to you all.

Year 6 International links

Year 6  have now made  International  links with a school in India.

We have send letters to the school via post and eagerly await their replies. For our display we researched  India,made fact files, found about daily life in India through watching  video clips. In art  we made Mehndi  patterns for both boys and girls.

Personification in poetry Year6

This week in   year  6  we have been looking at personification. We decided to personify the candles . We looked at the movement of the flame and tried to link this to figurative language. We used candles to see the reality of the movement.

We thought hard about the vocabulary we could use that best fitted with the movement of the flame. Pirouetting, swaying, dancing  twisting and turning.

Welcome to Year 6

It has been great  to have the children back this week, they seem so keen and focused. We were excited to hear we had an International link with a school in India. Today, we have been working hard  writing letters to our new friends in India. They also watched a video on New Dehli,the children were keen to make comparisons.

End of Year graduation and production Year 6

This was a momentous day for Year 6. The children took part in their graduation  ceremony and were  very emotional and proud  when telling of  their fond memories of the times at St Clement’s.

We moved swiftly onto our class  production ‘ Robin and the Nechells Hoodies’  It was a super performance with all the children enjoying  their new found acting roles. The children sung beautifully too and the parents were very impressed.

Well done Year 6, you were a credit to yourselves ,the  staff and  your family. We wish you every success in your Secondary Schools.

On Monday, Year 6 took part in the Leavers service in St Martin’s Church,Bullring, Birmingham.

The children had to share in a service with other children from Year 6 classes through out the borough. They  celebrated differences and being accepted for who they are. Each child had to make a name card  and glasses that reflected their personality.

We had a picnic lunch on return from the church.

St. Clement’s 1:1 Mentoring – Parent Voice

Just some feedback on the extra friendship sessions that were being conducted with my children.  I have found that this is really helped them in terms of social skills, how to develop and maintain a friendship properly in school time.  The activities completed in the session hake them think about how to behave and deal with situations and more importantly think before acting!

Thanks, Mum

*******************

My child has had mentoring sessions to cover how to interact with others both at home and in school.  They have helped with behaviour at home and interactions with her younger sibling. It has helped in school as well as in the classroom she is calmer, and allows the teacher time to deal with arising situations.

Mum

*******************

1:1 sessions have helped improve our child’s overall attitude towards others especially at home.  We are thankful for the time spent talking with her and giving her techniques that seem to be helping.
