Please click on the link above for the slides for the workshop we've had for 'Being a Behaviour Detective'. Both parents and staff benefitted from the expertise of Jackie Tarpey, the local authority's Autism and Social Communication Specialist.
The training was hugely beneficial for all and reminded us of how important it is to know our children, to not judge but to spend the time trying to understand them, validate their emotions and understand that 'behaviour is communication'. We want them to grow up as confident, empathetic and resilient young people and getting this right forms a key part of this.
As a school it is our job to get this right - we won't always straight away...each child is different...but we're hoping we certainly keep learning and will get it right more often than not!
Connecting with our Children
Thank you to everyone who attended our first workshop with Child and Family Therapist Megan Barber. The large number of you attending shows just how important the discussions were. Megan will join us for a follow up workshop after the February half term. The slides, and resources (The Brain Child fridge sheet and No Drama Discipline), are below. The follow up workshop focused on 'Empowering our children whilst transforming ourselves' and looked at the PACE approach to our interactions with our children, something that we use here in school too. Please see the appendices in our Relational Behaviour and Regulation Policy, as well as the slides to that second workshop below.
Guide to What Support is on offer in Trafford
Life is pretty complex at the moment and we all need a bit of help now and again. Take a look at the guide below which offers information on what is out there in Trafford to support you and your children...
Principles of Learning!
We had a parent meeting about some basic principles of learning at UPS. It evoked questions about how children are supported, challenged and assessed. If you have any further questions or need the slides (which are below) to be explained in more detail, please do let us know! We also discussed how we are starting our metacognition journey to becoming a Thinking School and Mrs Marsland touched on this at the meeting too. Again, see the slides below...
Year group recommended reads!
If you find it difficult to know what books your children could get into, take a look at the files below for some ideas, or...just ask us for some ideas!
