About the survey:

• The survey can be completed on a smartphone, tablet, iPad or computer.
• The questions are about caregiving in the future, and how dementia is thought about or planned for. Additionally, are questions about the type of relationship you are in.
• Some of the questions allow for voice recordings for the answers. This will allow longer responses without lots of typing, but are optional if typing the response is preferred.
• Every question is optional and can be skipped. If you would prefer not to answer some questions that is fine.
• It is fully anonymous and any voice recordings will be deleted after being transcribed.

Mrs Hirst will be holding a PHSE meeting on Wednesday 22nd May at 2.15pm in the school hall. The meeting is to inform parents/carers what will be taught during PHSE lessons next half term. This will cover the RSE curriculum to include body parts, gender stereotypes, relationships etc.

Well there we have it… our time at Blackwell has come to an end and after 3 days of activities from 8am until 8pm, we are all ready for our beds.

The children have tried 14 new activities and have amazed us in every single one. Their behaviour has been incredible and so many of the staff at Blackwell have commented how fantastic the Tenacres children are. So a big thank you to all of year 4. We have loved every minute we’ve spent with you.

I’m handing the blog back over to Miss Marshall now.

Blackwell 2024….you have been a blast.

Good Morning! We’re all packed up and enjoying pancakes for breakfast. The children were incredible last night, with not a single sound between 9.30pm and 6.30am! We had to wake up nearly 20 children at 7.30 this morning! Will blog again at lunch.

Our evening started with a trip to the shop where children picked some souvenirs! We then went to a very lively campfire with children joining in with a range of songs and actions. We toasted marshmallows too! All children were in bed and quiet by half 9!

 

 

9We have been climbing, shooting, swinging, descending and zip wiring this afternoon! Some really challenging activities but the year 4s have  been amazing! We’ve enjoyed pasta for tea with chocolate brownie and we’re all excited about campfire later!

The sun is shining and we have had an action packed morning! Children have really enjoyed themselves and we’re now having lunch.

We are up and enjoying breakfast after a night of surprisingly good sleep! Everybody was so exhausted last night that lights out was 9pm with children asleep by half 10. We even had to wake one group up at half 7 this morning!

We are all really looking forward to a day of activities.

We rounded off our first day with such a fun evening. It started with a quiz, each correct answer getting us one egg pound to spend at the egg shop. Here we could buy resources to protect our eggs which were then thrown off the top of the abseil tower. 5 out of 11 eggs survived and the treat for the winning teams was to smash the eggs on top of the instructors heads! All children are now in bed with lights out. Fingers crossed for some sleep tonight.

P.s. YES the teachers egg did survive!
