FUN FRIDAYS

Leave a comment
As part of our Rights Respecting Schools work, we are introducing a Friday afternoon club option. This is an opportunity for us to form new relationships based on our interests. 
As of next Friday, 12th May all learners will have the option of taking part in an activity of their choice across the school. Initially we will be offering either Outside, or Massage activities in Room 7. Within these 2 locations are a number of further choices of familiar activities. Staff may also offer Sensory Room or the Hairdressers if an activity is too busy. 
 
We would like to open our doors to all of you every Friday to join us for this session. This is a relaxed and friendly way to introduce families to being in school more often. All learners will be prepared for visitors, and if you have replied to say you are able to attend a session, your young person will be prepared to see you. You may want to make your visit brief and build up the time based on the needs of your young person. The important thing for us is that you don’t come at the end of the day and take your young person home. We don’t want them to think every time they see you in school, they are going home. So, if you plan to visit, please come early and head away. Sessions will start at 1:45pm. 
 
As the weeks go on, we can tailor the visits to what you would like to see your learner share. Perhaps using technology, communication core boards etc. These visits will culminate in our School Prom on the 21st of June 2023. 
 
This is an exciting new initiative! You are welcome to bring family members, siblings, grandparents, aunties etc. 
 
Please let your class teacher know via SeeSaw next Friday morning if you plan to attend. We hope to see you all soon!

Lastly, the ‘Watermind’ session on 20th April at 11am till 1pm at the West Sands Beach, St Andrews.  Shirley runs a wellness session for parents/carers.  Gentle yoga, breathwork, warm up then cold water therapy followed by toasted marshmallows by the fire.  We have run this in other locations, and it is very popular.  Quote from Shirley following a recent session with PAMIS families “Getting into nature and the cold water certainly put a smile on their faces and for a couple of hours they done something for THEMSELVES which they don’t ever get to do as their lives revolve around constantly caring for their loved ones.  You are an inspiration to me and it was an absolute pleasure today to have you all participate in the wellness focus group!”
