I feel to invest in this, I need to look at the data that is presented in the trial so your cooperation and support with the pupils to access daily, will be most helpful. Please see me if any issues with the logging in.

Book look

Some general areas as a way forward

• • Remember to mark to move forward learning opposed to completing the task correctly

  • Develop opportunities for polishing work and responding to written feedback

  • There is room for more green and areas to improve

  • Further opportunities to draft and redraft

  • Cold tasks do need to be supported by tool kits/high expectations and is an opportunity for extended writing

  • Some year groups still need to increase opportunities for extended writing

Updates from RfP project – Rebecca and Leigh

Leigh also to update anything form the LLC network meeting

<<reading for pleasure 16th November staff meeting.pptx>>

Please can you forward the following link to all staff, so they can express their workshop preferences – it is often best to complete this in a staff meeting or at a time many staff are together, to ensure it is not forgotten:

The OU Reading Schools Programme Conference Day Workshop Selections - Partneriaeth

This link will close on Friday 22 December at 6:30pm, so that workshops can be allocated. We will try to give everyone their first two choices – but this may not be possible, given the numbers attending! Delegates will be emailed their allocation prior to the day and I will provide each English leader with a summary sheet for their staff, as a back-up. I will also email you in December and early January to let you know who has signed up, so you can chase anyone up. Any staff subsequently unable to complete their preferences will be allocated a workshop on the morning of the conference and may not get a choice, depending on the spaces left.

Empathy Lab books

UBD launch video

Time to analyse data to identify areas/groups/cohorts to focus on

• • Manon Steffan Ros: her book The People Next Door makes her a great choice for this topic. She’s very eloquent about empathy, and of course now pretty famous, having just won the Carnegie medal! She’s also a Welsh speaker, in case that’s helpful. Her Empathy Walk on our website is worth a look, it’s just wonderful.

  • Caryl Hart: is one of the authors we’ve trained in our Empathy Masterclasses. She’s become hugely interested in the whole topic of empathy, and does great work with younger children. Her book Together we Can is all about people working together, and is featured in our bi-lingual Read for Empathy collection

  • Rashmi Sirdeshpande: you’ve worked with her before of course. Wanted to re-recommend her partly because of her How to Change the World book which is perfect for this topic, and partly because she’s authored our new handbook for children on empathy called We’ve Got This! She’s really expert on empathy.

• Let me know the best next steps? All the best, Miranda
  
  BOOK SUGGESTIONS
  
  Books exploring the joy of community/ working together
  
  

  • Together we can – picture book for the very young, exploring all the things you can do together. Available in Welsh too.

  • Clean up – picture book in which an exuberant central character, Rocket, gets everyone working together to clean up the environment

  • How to change the world – non fiction picture book, showing how people have worked together to change things for the better. Takes a historical perspective

• Books exploring perspective-taking and the nastiness and pointlessness of “othering”
  
  

  • Sky dancer – novel told from two different perspectives, characters with passionately held beliefs about whether or not it’s OK to kill raptors

  • Cyril and Pat – funny, powerful picture book. All the park creatures think it’s not right for a squirrel and a rat to be friends, but Cyril and Pat prove them wrong.

  • Those People Next Door – hilarious but horribly true picture book in which green aliens object to the arrival or purple aliens .

  • The Suitcase – great picture book about what a welcome looks like, and how it feels when being greeted with hostility

  • Something Else – tear jerking picture book about a little creature called Something Else, who is rejected by the community around him. But things turn out find when another strange creature appears and they become friends, turning attitudes around

  • The Little Island – picture book using animal metaphors, all about the pointlessness of tribalism. In the end all the creatures realise it’s much better to be working together.

Emerging priorities for 2023 – 2024 for whole school

• • Reading for pleasure programme – improve reading attainment and to enhance the joy of reading,

  • enhance home school relationships and partnership (in the context of RfP)

• • Welsh – new expectations of 15% of curriculum being delivered in Welsh

• Rights Respecting School report recommendations
  
  

  • Continue to explore with children and staff the meaning of key concepts underpinning a child rights-based approach, e.g. dignity, rights holders/duty bearers and how these are enacted in school practice

  • Continue to develop strategies to empower children to challenge injustice and create further opportunities for all year groups to be involved in campaigning and advocacy work on children's  rights.  Consider using the UN Global Goals for Sustainable Development as a framework for this and the UNICEF UK Youth Advocacy Toolkit.

• • Improve attendance

National Mission

• Improving pupil progression by ensuring that learning is supported by a range of knowledge, skills and experience.

• Reducing the impact of poverty on learners' progression and attainment

Objective 1: Learning for Life

Objective 2: Breaking down barriers

Objective 3: A positive education experience for everyone

Objective 4: High-quality teaching and leadership

Objective 5: Community-based learning

Objective 6: Cymraeg belongs to us all

As a year group – what do you see as a priority to address next academic year?

EYs

Further embedded the non-maintained nursery curriculum.

Looking at a range of ways to build family and community engagement.

Welsh – 15%

Continue to develop Thinking Skills work

Rec

Developing thinking skills with introduction of thinking hats. Linking with outside agencies more, especially in terms of planning for the whole school topic in the first term. Big focus on reading for pleasure. Family engagement at the local library – get the parents and children enrolled at the library. Link in with local authors to run story sessions possibly?

Yr 1

Welsh –15%. Further improve use of thinking skills. Reading for pleasure. Continue the success of our parental engagement sessions.

Yr 2

Welsh aiming to teach 15% a day.  Continue to give opportunities for retrieval practice within maths and reasoning,

Yr 3

Thinking skills – Where are we going to take it? How to implement following Lower school using thinking hats.

Increase in Welsh delivery in lessons

Yr 4

Develop further the outdoors

Y Bocs Bwyd

Yr 5

Welsh – developing the teaching of 15%

Further develop the outdoor learning

Yr 6

Welsh – developing the teaching of 15%

Autumn Term 2023 – Whole School Theme

How do I ensure I am an effective member of my community, of Wales and a global citizen?

What are we going to achieve by the end of the term?  How are we going to measure progress?   Outline plans

EYs/Rec

Parent questionnaire on forms to get their views & ideas of how  their children can be effective members of the community. Ask their views on how they feel about the issues in the community and what they can offer us within the community.

Work with local charity shops, south pembs hospital, local care homes, link in with Lloyd Graffitti Artist

Link in with stories e.g 'What if everyone did that?'

Yr 1

Children's understanding of what makes a global citizen – pupil survey. Parent survey of what the issues are within our community. Begin topic with an empathy walk – what do the pupils perceive the issues are within the community from their walk? 'The Invisible' by Tom Percival looking at what makes a community and how we can all make a difference – what are their strengths? Make links with Pembroke Dock Town Council. Then look at issues in Wales and wider.

Yr 2

Looking at what makes a community  - maybe look at the film Elemental.  Make links with the Council by emailing them regarding litter or another issue.  Visit to local care home – ask questions, compare our community from when they were young to now – What's changed? What has got better? What has got worse? What do you think our young people can do as they grow up?  Looking at Graffiti – look at Banksy, difference between good and bad graffiti. Make a linkLloyd the Graffiti, local artist could collab on a piece for the School

Yr 3

Link with care homes  - baseline on children's understanding of global citizens - inviting them in and going to them. A range of activities like bingo, board games, gardening art, reading etc  Taking the talents from the community into our school. Our big idea from this would be a Persuasive leaflet and a video showcasing our involvement with the care homes.  Link to an empathy novel about caring.

Yr 4

Begin to establish Big Bocs Bwyd. Involve the community, parents, shops, local businesses etc.  Children to advertise – persuasive letters, emails, advertisements,

Assessment – against 4P dispositions

How can I make a difference in my community? What can I do to better myself and my community? What are the benefits of growing our own food? How can I promote action in my community?

Yr 5

Cradle Choir – Welsh National Opera – two / three concerts across the year. DC Davies, local data, youth engagement .

Pre and post engagement- pupil focus group

Yr 6

Break down the 5 Proficiencies for Maths:-  

Conceptual understanding: nitty gritty, what do they already know?  What do they need to know? Important to teach where it came from and why e.g. equal sign – Robert Record – Welsh – Cynefin. 

Communication using symbols: what symbols. What symbol do they need to know e.g. equal sign.  What does it mean? 

Strategic competence: encouraging lots of different methods and the structure of the lesson. 

Logical reasoning: solving problems/making them think. 

Fluency:  recalling and checking. 

You can use the template below to plan a series of lessons focusing on the 5 Proficiencies

This is our data analysis – how are we tackling the needs of those identified learners? To discuss in wings.  

<<Procedural Data Progress Evidence Y1-Y6 2020-21 (2).docx>>

<<Reasoning Analysis - Y2-6 (2) (2).docx>>

Mathematics Summary: 

In reasoning, on average 82% of children are working at expected level or above by the end of the academic year. In procedural mathematics, 72% of children are working at expected level or above.    

Neither boys nor girls consistently outperform each other in procedural mathematics. In some year groups boys attain higher than girls, and in other year groups girls attain better than boys.  However, the difference in attainment is narrowed by the end of year 6.    

In reasoning, boys attain better than girls, although Y2 boys are significantly poorer than girls.  

There remains a difference in attainment between eFSM and nFSM  throughout the school, particularly in procedural mathematics. The gap is narrower in reasoning, possibly because it has been a focus area for improvement.   

Ways Forward  

Year 1 (current Y2 cohort)  – focus on improving attainment of eFSM pupils  

Year 2 (current Y3 cohort) – raise standards in maths particularly attainment of boys in reasoning and eFSM attainment in procedural mathematics.   

Year 3  (current Y4 cohort) - focus on improving attainment of eFSM pupils  

Year 4 (current Y5 cohort) - focus on improving attainment of eFSM pupils in procedural maths and  the attainment of girls.  

Year 5 (current Y6 cohort) - focus on improving attainment of eFSM pupils in procedural maths and  the attainment of girls.  

Year 6 - focus on improving attainment of eFSM pupils

- Wear yellow or blue 

- Empathy Quest – Paperchain of Peace - As a school we want to show that peace is stronger than war.  

Each child to have a link of a paper chain in blue or yellow paper to the template below– children to write their name or a message to the children of Ukraine on the link. Link the whole class together – School council will then collect, and we will create one long chain to display with our Empathy display in the main corridor. The chain will symbolise each child coming together and standing strong!
