Dear North Tawton Friends and Families, North Tawton Park If you use the park in North Tawton, you will know it is a wonderful space, but some of the play equipment is in urgent need of repair. The Town Council have secured some funding to address this and have asked me to be in the working party to decide how this money is spent. Please share your views so I can represent them in our next meeting. North Tawton Park Consultation  Tin Can Collection Mike would like to continue the tin can collection after the Easter holidays. Please bring along your cola, soda / pop, beer and cocktail cans to school on Thursday morning where he will be at the gate. The cans will be recycled, and the money obtained will be given to the charity Families in Greif, a very worthy cause. Help for grieving children & families | Families in Grief Attendance Each week we monitor attendance. We are calculating attendance across the school houses and House Captains announce the percentages in Friday assembly.  We are aiming for 97% + so we still have a way to go. This term our school attendance has been 93% Please click on the links to our latest class blogs: Sycamore Class Hazel Class Ash Class Willow Class Beech Class Chestnut Class Oak Class Acorn Class Staff training Have you ever wondered what staff do on INSET days and in staff meetings? This term, we have been focused on working together to improve standards in maths and writing. The whole primary teacher group have come together for twilight sessions to implement new ways to teach maths and writing, and we have worked across our DMAT schools to moderate writing standards across the Trust. Our staff team have had training regarding Inclusion – specifically introducing the Zones of Regulation and learning how to support pupils who have experienced adverse childhood experiences and trauma. On our INSET day Thursday, all staff are involved in reviewing our work and our next steps. Foundry staff will be working in phases, Early Years, KS1 and KS2 to plan for the term ahead. Our SEND team will meet together, and we have practitioners from each school training in an intervention called Lego Therapy. Next term we will continue to build on these areas and the work we have started in our Foundry Hub regarding equality, diversity and inclusion. Our staff who teach our Read Write Inc phonics programme have regular training, observation and opportunities to share best practice throughout the year.  Wishing you a gentle Easter
