VAPING/E-CIGARETTES

Unfortunately the number of children trying out vaping has risen considerably over the past few years. There are several negative short term side effects to vaping and worryingly the long term risks are unknown. We want to ensure that all our children are safe and healthy. Understandably  this can be a difficult subject to broach with your child/children. Please find some advice from Action for Children as to how to discuss this with your child;

• Find a good time to start the conversation. It might be as you walk past a vape shop or see someone using an e-cigarette.  

• Ask your child what they know about vaping. You can ask them if they know of people who use them and why they use them. You might ask them if they’ve ever tried it.   

• Listen to your child, their experience, and their point of view. Show you are interested in what they have to say.  

• Then you can gently and calmly give them some facts about vaping. Ask them what they think about the facts.  

• If your child is already using a vape, then have the same conversation with them and ask them what they like about it. You are not saying it’s okay for them to do it, by being interested. You can still be clear about how you feel.  

• If they feel pressured into vaping by friends, you can teach them helpful skills of being confident in saying ‘no thanks, it’s not for me’.

What's Cooking?

I have been working with Team Aire this week and we have been making Yo Yo Biscuits in celebration of what they have been learning in the classroom Toys - Old & New).  They have been learning how to use a digital scales, used a rolling pin and cutters and showed excellent spreading skills when it came to icing the biscuits. They also learnt about where flour comes from and the process it goes through to get to the shops.

Well done Team Aire, your biscuits looked delicious.  I do hope you enjoy sharing them!

Cook School Lead

To help you get on with your day and not waiting for a member of the team become available, we would like to ask for the following:

• When returning forms, these can be placed into the internal post box located to the left hand side of the entrance doors. 

• Information regarding change of contact details, medical conditions, address or emergency contacts are to be emailed to admin.shs@ebor.academy. We must hold this information in writing. 

• A leave of absence form must be completed and returned to the school for all absence unrelated to illness or appointments. 

• Information regarding appointments are to be emailed to admin.shs@ebor.academy. We will ask for a copy of the appointment confirmation for our records. This can be a photo or a screenshot included in the email. 

Whilst it can be easy to speak to someone face to face we will request that most queries be emailed across so they can be passed on to the member of staff so information is not missed. 

Please can we also ask that if using the disabled bays when collecting and dropping off that the gates are closed behind you for safeguarding purposes.
