The children helped the Little Red Hen bake some bread, built a bridge for the Three Billy Goats Gruff and found Cinderella's lost slipper using maps, compasses and reading directions!

This tops an amazing few weeks of achievement in sport at John Clare - Girls Football winners, Boys Football runners up, and Rugby winners. Well done to all of our children, we are very proud!

Mrs Nicolson has rehomed these wonderful creatures and once they are fully settled, they will be spending time with the children, including to listen to them read!

They met some of our children today, who stayed very quiet and calm to help them settle into their new environment. We are looking forward to taking care of our new tortoises and getting to know them - we are currently thinking of some new names, so ideas are welcomed!

John Clare Primary School, located in Helpston, Peterborough, recently hosted its first drop-in coffee session for parents of children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

As part of the Soke Education Trust, the primary school demonstrated its commitment to supporting families and providing inclusive educational experiences through this inaugural event. The coffee session brought together various support organisations, professionals, and agencies to offer guidance and assistance to families.

"Our aim was to create a welcoming space where parents could access valuable resources and connect with others facing similar challenges," said Abi Kefford, SENCo at John Clare Primary School. "We're thrilled with the turnout and the valuable discussions that took place between parents, our area SENCo, SEND governor, and representatives from the Peterborough City Council SEND Information Hub."

Cathy Carlisle, CEO of Soke Education Trust, emphasised the importance of community support, stating, "In today's fast-paced world, nurturing our children's mental health is just as crucial as their academic achievements. We are committed to developing collaborative practices that support every child and family in our trust".

The event featured representatives from multiple support organisations, who provided attendees with crucial information and advice. Parents had the opportunity to meet with SENCos and staff from other local primary schools across Soke Education Trust, creating an environment for sharing ideas and experiences.

Building on the success of this initial session, the school plans to host another SEND coffee and catch-up event in the summer term, featuring additional visitors who can share their expertise and services for local children and families.

Any donations are very gratefully received and should be handed to your child's class teacher or the School Office on Wednesday 22nd May 2024.

Thank you!

They have all showed great perseverance this afternoon, learning to over-stitch with needles and felt.

Children are learning skills to eventually sew their own puppets before the end of term.
