It has been another fantastic week here at Marden. The children have all been working hard to finish their learning on the Sustainable Development Goals and have started their new inquires.
Thank you to all of our parents/carers who came to our open event on Wednesday. We hope you enjoyed the opportunity to see your children's work and to look around the newly refurbished building. Over the next few weeks final touches will be made such as a new library which is due to be installed over the October half term.
I would like to say a big well done to all of our children who sat the Kent Test this week. You all approached the tests with hard work and determination. Whatever the outcome of the tests we would like you to know how proud of you we are.
Last year we were really lucky to have some of our parents/members of the community come into school to share with the children their job and the skills involved. The children thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to learn about a range of careers. We would very much like to do this again this year and would appreciate any offers of support for this. If you would be willing to come in and support us with this please contact the school office or speak to Mrs Rye.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend.
Mrs H Penning

As children go through life, they will inevitably come into conflict sooner or later. These disagreements can range from seemingly minor squabbles to far more serious disputes, and dealing with them in an effective, mature manner is an absolutely vital skill – one that takes some time and effort to cultivate.
In children and young people’s formative years, it’s incredibly important for parents and educators to know how to teach them conflict resolution, as well being able to model this skill effectively. This free guide offers expert advice on helping youngsters avoid unnecessary conflict and supporting them in finding solutions when clashes arise.
