Fortnightly Focus – Individual Liberty/Communicate What You Want Appropriately

Individual liberty is so important because it means that we all have the freedom to be ourselves and to express our thoughts and feelings in a respectful way.  When we respect each other’s individual liberty, we create a world where everyone feels valued and included.  And when we communicate what we want in a respectful way, we can work together to solve problems and build strong, supportive relationships.

Remember, everyone, that individual liberty and communicating what you want appropriately are important British values that we should all try to live by.  Let’s all strive to be kind, inclusive and respectful of each other’s thoughts and feelings.  Together, we can create a world where everyone feels free to be themselves and to express themselves in a way that brings us closer together.

Music Moment of the Week

Music Title: Brandenburg Concerto no. 4.

Composer: Johann Sebastian Bach (German).

Period: Baroque

Written: 1721

This piece of music is one of the most famous compositions in classical music ever written.  It was written by a man named Johann Sebastian Bach.  Listen to the music, you should be able to hear lots of different instruments.  They all sound very different (violins, flutes, cello and harpsichord).  Bach understood that all instruments have their own sound so he wrote a different part for each instrument.  No instrument is playing the same tune but all instruments are working together to create one piece of music.  Each instrument’s individuality is celebrated but also equal to the other instruments.

Glebe Uniform

Please refer to https://www.glebeschool.com/news-information/ where you will find a section named SCHOOL UNIFORM for the list of uniform items, photos and price list.

Parking

Please could parents be mindful where they park along Creswick Avenue as we have received some complaints regarding parking over residents’ driveways.  Thank you for your co-operation.

Catering

Due to the inflation of food costs and the rise in minimum wage, from 1 September 2024, school meals will cost £2.50 for KS2 pupils.

Mental Health and Wellbeing Awareness Week – 17 June to 21 June 2024

Next week is Glebe’s mental health and wellbeing awareness week.  One of our focuses for the week is ‘Move to Improve your Mental Health.’  Whilst we have lots of different things planned within school, it would be great if you could get involved at home too.  It may be walking to school when you usually come in the car, an extra visit to the park or some time in the garden; whatever works best for you!  Each year group will be looking into different emotions through a range of activities across the week, ending with a non-uniform day on Friday 21 June 2024.  We have allocated each year group an emotion and a colour to wear on Friday: EYFS-pink, Year 1-rainbow, Year 2-green, Year 3/4-red, Year 5-blue, Year 6-yellow.
