Morland C of E Primary School

Morland is Open - Tuesday 6th January

The boiler issues have been resolved and therefore we are open from 6th January.
Thank you for your patience.

Due to heating failure we are having to close the school for today.

We hope to be open tomorrow but please look at the school website for updates.

The Christmas Fayre starts at 2.30pm tomorrow.

Children can be collected at 2.30pm (wet pick up). You can then take them to the Fayre entering the school through one of the open corridor doors.

If children walk home on their own they will be released by the class teacher at 3.25pm.

Children will not be able to visit the Fayre unaccompanied.

You’ve probably heard lots of people saying that reading with little ones at home is a good thing to do. But how do you find time? How much? Which books? And most of all… how do you make sure it’s fun? The Little Pod is on hand to help! 🐬🎧 Listen here: https://ow.ly/KswB50Q8IgI

🍭 🍫🍬 Children who eat too much sugar struggle to concentrate and are over active 🍬🍫🍭
Therefore, please do not provide sugary foods for school like sweets or fizzy drinks. A small amount of chocolate is ok for lunch boxes but not for snack.

Eating sweets on the way to school is not appropriate.

❌❌❌ Please remember not to send nuts or nut products to school as we have some pupils who are allergic to nuts ❌❌❌

As a parent, having some behaviour management strategies in mind can help you to feel more confident. Below are some things you can try to help your child manage their behaviour. Have a go at some different strategies until you find what works for you and your child. Be patient if new strategies do not seem to work straightaway. It often does take a bit of time for change to happen, and for your child to get used to things.

❤️ Have clear boundaries and routines ❤️
It's important to set clear boundaries and stick to them as much as you can. You could do this by creating a family agreement together. This can cover things like screen-time, family meals and times for getting up and going to bed.

❤️ Follow through on consequences ❤️
Give a warning, and allow them time to show good behaviour, before giving the consequence. This allows your child an opportunity to change their behaviour. After the consequence has been given and your child has calmed down, chat together about what happened. Then ‘wipe the slate clean’ and find time for a positive interaction with them soon after.

❤️ Give positive praise ❤️
Notice and encourage them when they show the kinds of positive behaviour you have asked for. Be specific about why you are praising them. For example, you might say, ‘thank you for letting me know you were feeling angry without hitting your brother’. Or, ‘thank you for putting your phone away when I asked you to, now we can eat together’.
