    DARLEY AND SUMMERBRIDGE FEDERATION Friday 12th February 2021 Well Done Ava! Ava has been very busy learning about Asia over the last few days and has created a fabulous ‘Wall of China’ - well done - we all think it’s brilliant! Media Coverage As you will be aware, media coverage on the state of children’s mental health and well-being and the concerns regarding children ‘missing out and falling behind with their education’ feature heavily in daily news. This inexorably adds to the tensions and anxieties of parents and teachers alike, never mind the children. Of course, we are concerned about their mental health, yet the media and politicians piling on the pressure saying that they are not going to get to the expected standard this year and that a ‘whole generation will suffer’ is simply piling on extra pressure in my view. The issue I foresee is that children are being measured against the standards that they would be expected to achieve if everything was normal; but we are not in normal times. In our federation we will measure our children’s performance, the standards they achieve and the curriculum they cover and judge them on what they have managed to do during lockdown, not measure them against what they haven’t done. There are many things that we cannot change regarding this pandemic, but the one thing we could change is to reduce the national expectation of what children should be able to do at the end of it all. Our focus should be on getting our children back to school so they can be happy again, not so they can get back to school only to work twice as hard as ever before.

Snail human by author, 2018 Abstract This thesis examines changing boundaries between childhood and adulthood in twenty-first century British society and culture through the concept of growth in order to investigate alternatives to conventional ideas of growing up. It is the first in-depth academic study to consider growing sideways as a distinct and important discourse that challenges, and provides an alternative to, the discourse of upwards growth, previously identified as a pervasive grand narrative that privileges adulthood (Trites, 2014).

  • Friday 12Th February 2021
    By Miss Gregory Dear Children, We have made it to half term! It has probably been one of the trickiest half terms we have had; trying to keep motivated and keep learning at home has been tough! However, we have made it - half term is about to begin and it is time for a rest. So pat yourselves on the back (and pat your parents on the back too) for being absolutely amazing. So what is going to happen next half term? Well, the Prime Minister is going to make an announcement on Monday 22nd February about when we can start to welcome you all back into school. We have our fingers crossed it will be during next half term. My family and I have been busy thinking about half term – how can we make it exciting? We have all been at home for so long and every day feels the same so how can we make half term different? Your ‘Healthy Selfies’ have helped provide inspiration with such great ideas for how to take a break, Hattie wants to put the tent up in the lounge, following Alex and Amber. We have all enjoyed seeing how you have chosen to take a break from learning, we especially love seeing your smiles and learning about your hidden talents. Who knew you were so good at baking? In our house we have a plan, everyone has contributed an idea as to what they want to do that is fun. If you find yourself with a quiet moment over the holiday then Miss Gregory has a special challenge for everyone at Woodlands.

  • Flavia Cacace & Vincent Simone
    Flavia Cacace & Vincent Simone FIREBIRD EVENTS LTD, UNIT 3 NIMBUS BUSINESS PARK, HERCULES WAY, FARNBOROUGH, HAMPSHIRE, GU14 6UU WWW.FIREBIRDEVENTS.CO.UK | [email protected] | 01252 545654 Watch in wonder as Flavia & Vincent waltz their way into your event, impressing your guests at every turn. Share the glamour, sophistication and sensational talent of one of the country’s leading professional dance couples with your guests. Keeping your audience warmed up between dances and whilst Flavia changes costume, Vincent can talk through their interpretation of the dance, or answer any questions your guests may have – keeping it ‘strictly’ professional – he is both fascinating and amusing in equal measure. Flavia & Vincent started dancing together in the 90s, when they were still in their mid-teens. Vincent had just moved from Southern Italy, not far from where Flavia had been born, to join the dance school Flavia attended. As if by fate, they were ‘matched’ by their dance teacher and their professional partnership has lasted over 20 years. Starting to compete professionally in 2001, Flavia & Vincent decided to move away from competitions after winning numerous Championships, and started on their highly successful BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing journey. Since leaving the show, Vincent and Flavia have choreographed and starred in four shows including Midnight Tango, Dance 'til Dawn, The Last Tango and Tango Moderno. Each show has toured nationally and appeared in the West End receiving rave reviews and Olivier Award nominations for family entertainment. Achievements • UK Professional Ten Dance Champions 2002-2006 • Vincent joined Strictly Come Dancing in 2005, Flavia in 2006 – both appearing in each series • UK Professional Showdance Champions 2003-2006 until the end of 2012.
