Early Years

Mrs Wilson’s Socially Distanced May 4th Run!

On May 4th we usually run our Star Wars marathon at Fishergate Primary School with all the children and staff involved – and often many parents and governors! We have had to postpone this year’s event, but Mrs Wilson is planning to run past as many Early Years children’s homes as possible to give them a (socially distanced!) wave.

Foodbanks in the UK are under more pressure than ever in the current situation; York alone has seen a 400% increase in use since lockdown began.

Looking for some extra resources and activities to keep your child busy and to support their continued learning at home? Take a look at the #LearningProjects! These projects were developed by a partnership between Robinhood MAT, Warwickshire Schools Library Service and STEM Learning and there is a weekly learning project for each phase of primary school, packed with great ideas.

Street Performers, Buskers and Storytellers

Our friends at Naburn shared these links with us and we feel that these are two positive projects that will give a bit of distraction and entertainment to families.

Covent Garden Stories

Amazing street performers read their favourite children’s stories. We are releasing a new story every day until we run out of performers!

Triple P Parenting

As you may be aware the school now has Triple P (Positive Parenting Program) available for parents.
During this time they have made their resources on supporting families free to access.
 
I have shared their ‘top tips’ and leaflet below but more details are available online here: https://www.triplep-parenting.uk.net/uk-en/get-started/parenting-during-covid-19/
 
Triple P’s Top Tips – click the pictures to see a larger version!
They are worth reading through and are aimed at parents and carers of 0-12 year olds,

Fishergate children – can you help?

Dear Fishergate Children,

I wasn’t going to write to you in the Easter holidays but I have a very important job that some of you might like to do.

Mrs Hemlin, one of our Key Stage 1 teaching assistants, has a friend who works at a care home off Fulford Road. Some of the elderly residents are feeling very lonely because they are not getting any visits from their friends and family and they are becoming quite withdrawn.

The care home think that it would really cheer their residents up if they were sent letters/pictures/poems or anything else that you could think of. If you would like to help then please send whatever you decide to do to: connaughtactivities@rmbi.org.uk

Thank youMrs Clarke
