ANTI-BULLYING FRIENDSHIP STOP WINNERS

Congratulations to the children who won our Friendship Stop competition. The winners were selected by members of the Anti Bullying Committee. If you can help with getting these great designs made into actual friendship stops, please email me on josmith@woottonprimaryschool.org

CAN YOU HELP?

Back in the Autumn term the Anti Bullying Committee met with their classes and decided that the Friendship Stops around the school needed updating.

What is a Friendship stop?

We have these positioned on the playgrounds so that if children have no one to play with they go and stand next to the stop and someone will ask them if they want someone to play with. These prove very useful for those children who find it difficult to communicate their needs and for those children who lack confidence in making new friendships.

The Anti Bullying Committee ran a competition to design new friendship stops and they selected 5 winners. We now need your help. Does anyone have any contacts who are able to help to transform these designs into Friendship Stops either as banners or free standing signs, see images . If you can help please email me josmith@woottonprimaryschool.org.

MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLBEING

As a parent, it can often be such a worry with regards to our children.

But there is support out there.

If you have any concerns about your child, including their mental health, we can help and there are other organisations that offer support and guidance. Please speak to your child's class teacher or contact the charity Young Minds on the details below.

PARKING AND ROAD SAFETY

We wanted to remind parents/carers to please drive and park legally, safely and responsibly when dropping off and collecting your child/ren from school. We encourage parents/residents to report dangerous driving and parking using the below link.

Please THINK before you park.
Please THINK about pedestrians and those in wheelchairs or with pushchairs.
Please THINK about emergency services, your vehicle could be blocking their access.
Please refer to the Highway Code—Rules 238—252.
