The Tynings School

Thank you South Glos Parent Carers for coming into school today to let us know how you can help our families. Lots of great help and support on offer for parents and carers of children who have additional needs. Looking forward to working with you! https://sgpc.org.uk/

It's been a wet and muddy couple of weeks for us in Forest School.
Well done to everyone who brought suitable gear or a change of clothes and shoes, they've definitely been needed.

We made dens, mud sculptures and used slow steady feet through muddy puddles.

Thank you to all of those who have shown their support by purchasing raffle tickets for the chance of winning our giant Kevin the Carrot so far this week! We have had some really helpful feedback in regards to ticket sales so have some updates to share with you. We hope that this will help those of you who wish to buy tickets to do this at a time more suitable for you!

Updates...
- If your child attends after school club, tickets will be available to purchase from Hilary when collecting your child starting tomorrow (Wednesday 16th November).

- On Thursday 17th November, tickets will be on sale from 8:30-8:45 outside Deer class (Year 3) as well as the after school time slot, for anyone who is unable to purchase after school.

- Kevin will be making appearances around school Monday-Thursday next week so your child may bring their raffle ticket money into school and purchase tickets when he comes to their class.

Tickets are 50p each and you can buy as many as you wish.

Once again, thank you for your support. All money raised from this raffle will go towards the purchasing of new books for our class book corners.

Raffle winner will be drawn in assembly on Friday 2nd December!

Miss Hannan is going to be selling raffle tickets for a chance to win this incredible life-size Kevin the Carrot starting tomorrow!! Tickets will be 50p and on sale from Deer class (Year 3) 3:20-3:35 Monday-Thursday.

All funds raised will be used to purchase some wonderful, new books for our class reading corners!

Over the last two weeks we have been looking at Andy Goldsworthy and making nature art in our Forest School sessions.
Andy uses natural resources to create incredible nature art and sculptures. After looking at some of his creations, the children were allowed to make their own.
Here are just a few of the wonderful work that the children have created.

Will your child be starting school in September 2023? We have open sessions for you to come and visit our 'GOOD' school and see what an amazing place The Tynings is. Please call the office on 01454 866525 to book a space.

Year 3 thoroughly enjoyed their end of term water games yesterday. It was an excellent way to cool down! Miss Hudson and Miss Hannan were very glad they brought spare clothes!

It's our final 'Coffee and Chat for this academic year!
Come along on Thursday and catch up with the Inclusion Team. We will be having informal chats about parenting hints and tips, special educational needs, medical issues... the list is endless. Anything you need advice and support with, we are here to help. If you have a child at The Tynings, or your child is starting in September, then you are more than welcome to come along to one of the sessions (9am/2:15pm). See you Thursday!!

Foxes had a lovely time in our Reading Cafe/ Picnic this morning!

Year 3 have been really embracing Jubilee celebrations this week! We have been studying the Queen's reign during the 1980s and today attended a very famous wedding from this decade - the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana. We listened to music, ate cake and of course drank champagne (lemonade)! We have had a fantastic day and have spent our afternoon designing wedding outfits and transport.

Miss Hannan and Miss Hudson thoroughly enjoyed taking a fantastic group of Year 3 children to Mangotsfield Secondary School for a tri-golf event last night. All of the children participated with great effort and had a lot of fun. We were very proud of how well they represented our school.

Unfortunately we have had to postpone tomorrow's Autism Workshop for Parents. Claire Phillips, the autism expert who was going to be leading the session, has tested positive for Covid and cannot come into school.
We will run the workshop in the near future - we will let you know as soon as a new date is confirmed. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause you.
