Welcome to our Early Years Foundation Stage at Cantrell Primary School
We are very proud of all of the wonderful, explorative and fun learning
that happens every day in our Early Years setting.
At Cantrell Primary School we believe that very child
deserves the best possible start in life and that that the most
effective way to provide this is through planned, purposeful play,
both outdoors and in.
Planned, purposeful play is the foundation of development
and learning for young children.
It is the way skills are developed and practised.
It is essential for physical, intellectual, linguistic,
emotional, and behavioural and social development.
It is the process through which children can explore,
investigate, recreate and come to understand their world.
Please enjoy a sneak preview!

VE DAY 1945
We remember all those who gave their lives, we must also take a
moment to learn the lessons of the past and say never again.
Across the continent, British soldiers paused for celebration
before beginning the task of the reconstruction
and, for some, finishing the War in the Far East.
We remember them all.
‘Respair’, a word from centuries ago, is the recovery from despair.
To respair is to have fresh hope.
Seems appropriate for the world at war with Coronavirus.
Fresh hope for tomorrow!
Tomorrow will be a better day!

WORLD BOOK DAY. We had the theatre company M&M Productions in school showing The Hunchback of Notre Dame, our theme this year is “diversity and being unique”. The children were invited to dress up as a book character, a person who triumphed despite adversity, or just as their unique selves, e.g. Abraham Lincoln – lost 8 times before becoming president of the USA; J K Rowling – had 12 book rejections; the Wright brothers – 2 failed attempts at flying.

COLLECTION ARRANGEMENTS. Can we remind parents that we need written consent of who is allowed to collect your child from school. Safeguarding procedures mean we cannot take instructions over the telephone, or use a code word. A record of who is allowed to collect is kept in the office and classroom. Please update any changes at the school office. Please be aware that if anybody who is not on the list comes to collect your child, we will not allow your child to go with them.

Cantrell Reading Challenge - Remember to read at home everyday!
CANTRELL’S TOP TEN REASONS WHY WE READ!
Reading makes you cleverer. Reading is a complex task for children’s brains – much more complex than watching TV, or playing an online game. Reading strengthens your child’s brains connections and builds NEW connections. Reading promotes achievement in all subjects, not just English, so if your child is a good reader, they are more likely to achieve better across the whole curriculum.
Reading makes you happier. Research shows us that children who read books regularly are, on average, more satisfied with life, happier, and more likely to feel the things they do in life are worthwhile. A book does not take up much space in your child’s bag and is light to carry, so they can take one anywhere they go. Your child can never be bored if they have a book in their bag.
Reading improves concentration Children have to sit still and quietly so that they can focus on the story when they are reading. If your child reads often, they will develop the skill to do this for longer.
Reading teaches children about the world around them. Through reading a variety of books, children learn about people, places, and events outside of their own experience. Everything your child reads fills their head with new bits of information, and you never know when it might come in handy. The more knowledge they have, the better-equipped they are to tackle any challenge they’ll ever face.
Reading improves vocabulary and language skills Children learn new words as they read. The more your child reads, the more words they gain exposure to, which will inevitably make their way into their everyday vocabulary. Vocabulary is one of the biggest indicators of academic achievement and success in later school life.
Reading develops a child's imagination. As children read, their brains translate the descriptions they read of people, places and things into pictures. While children are engaged in a story, they are also imagining how a character is feeling. Children then bring this knowledge into their everyday play. The more your child reads, the more imaginative and creative they will be.
Reading helps you relax. Reading is a great way of escaping from the stresses and strains of day-to-day life! A story can transport your child to other realms, letting tensions drain away and allowing them to relax. Reading has been shown to lower blood pressure and bring about an immense sense of calm.
Reading is a great way to spend time together. Research shows us just how important reading can be as a way of bonding with your child. Snuggling up to read together on the sofa, bedtime stories and visiting the library are just some of the ways that you can enjoy spending time together with your children while reading.
Reading helps children to develop empathy. As children read, they learn to empathise with characters that they like and care about. They begin to have feelings for situations they read about in stories such as happiness, sadness, anger, frustration or excitement. Reading regularly helps your child learn to understand these and other emotions, and to develop the social skills needed to forge positive relationships with others.

6) Don’t meet up with people you’ve met online. Speak to your parent or carer about people suggesting you do
7) Remember that not everyone online is who they say they are
8) Think carefully about what you say before you post something online
9) Respect other people’s views, even if you don’t agree with someone else’s views doesn’t mean you need to be rude
10) If you see something online that makes you feel uncomfortable, unsafe or worried: leave the website, turn off your computer if you want to and tell a trusted adult immediately.

Ofsted Report
We are delighted to announce that Cantrell Primary and Nursery School is a Good School!
Dear Parents and Carers,
I am delighted to tell you that the recent Ofsted visit to our school was very successful and the inspectors found that Cantrell Primary and Nursery School is a GOOD school!
In brief, the inspectors told us that the school has improved since the last inspection and that:
This is a good school
◼ Since the last inspection, leaders, supported by the dedicated staff, have taken decisive action to bring about swift improvements.
◼ The school’s curriculum is designed to provide pupils with a wealth of opportunities they may not typically encounter. Leaders are keen to raise the aspirations of families for their children.
◼ The development of pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural education (SMSC) is a strength. Pupils are encouraged to think philosophically about their own and different cultures and faiths. They receive a wide range of opportunities to appreciate the arts.
◼ Leaders have taken effective action to improve rates of attendance. The proportion of pupils who are persistently absent has fallen significantly. Parents and carers understand the importance of regular attendance.
◼ Governors are determined to provide the best possible education for pupils from the early years and onwards.
◼ Arrangements for safeguarding pupils are secure. Adults have a comprehensive understanding of the risks that pupils may face and leaders train staff to be professionally suspicious.
◼ Teachers have high expectations of pupils. They use questioning skilfully to develop pupils’ knowledge and understanding. Teachers deploy other adults well to enhance learning.
◼ Pupils are confident, independent, and self-assured learners. They take pride in their work and express their views well. They behave well.
◼ Pupils who struggle to manage their behaviour receive support to enable them to understand their emotions.
◼ In the early years, staff understand the value of a language-rich environment.
I’m sure you will join me in congratulating all our wonderful teachers and support staff on this Ofsted visit. I am delighted that their hard work has paid off and our school is now officially a GOOD school!
Thank you to everyone for your continued support and please join us in celebrating. However, be assured that we have many plans to develop the school so that it improves even further.
With very best wishes,
Deborah Weaver
