Three pupils, who attend Selwood Academy, raised money for the Blue Cross in Frome this month by organising and running healthy cake sales in the school.Gianni Lochi, Annie Warde and Chelsea Colebrook handed over a cheque to the Blue Cross for £42.37. The pupils independently set up their own lunchtime club called SPOA (Selwood Protection of Animals). They meet regularly to discuss and plan ways that they can raise money for local animal charities. Previously, they have organised Christmas stalls, raffl es and game stands raising money for other animal charities in the local area. Gianni said, “It’s been great fun raising money and really good to know that we are making a difference!”. The group now plan to carry out other fundraising projects for local animal charities – so watch this space.

Critchill School are ‘Officially Amazing’
On Tuesday 6 November Selwood pupils performed their version of a Midsummer Night’s Dream to Year 5 and 6 pupils in the school hall. This was a follow-up to their impressive participation in the National Shakespeare festival which was held in October.We were one of only 700 schools in the country (and 53 in the South West of England) who participated in the Shakespeare Schools Festival this year, with Selwood putting on a superb half-hour production of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ at the Merlin Theatre. Other schools performing on the night were Clarendon College and St Edmund’s school – two secondary schools.Mr Stephen Kirby, Headteacher said “I am sure all parents and staff in the audience would agree that our pupils not only delivered the Shakespearian language so effectively – with no need for a prompt at all – but they acted the scenes with real aplomb. The audience clearly revelled in the polished performance. Well done indeed to director Miss Hardman, choreographer Miss Howell and to the cast”.

Critchill School’s Beautiful School Team are pleased to announce that the school has organised another textile collection with Rag Bag in order to raise funds for the school.

The collections have been a great success raising in excess of £700 so far.As well as raising vitally needed funds for our school of which will be used to help us make our school environment even better, it also helps the environment by helping to divert unwanted textiles away from landfi ll. It is a fact that as a nation we still send 1,081,000 tonnes of textiles to landfi ll every year.
By getting involved in our Rag Bag collection, you have an opportunity to sort through your cupboards and wardrobes and donate unwanted textiles – this can include:• adults’ and children’s clothes • shoes (tied together please) • hats • belts • bags • soft toys • curtains • bedding (not duvets or pillows)

When Year 6 pupils Emily, Taisie, Lauren, Kody and Finlay were asked to write a set of instructions during their Literacy lesson, they decided that ‘How to make a cup of tea’ was not very stimulating. They had a discussion and the ‘Lit Chicks’ were hatched!The group planned how they would make their stuffed chick and wrote a set of instructions. They followed their written method to make their own toy, amending the instructions as they went along. Mrs Baillie-Smith was delighted with the group’s enthusiasm and fi nished work. Finlay enthused, ‘ It was awesome and great fun”. Kody added, “I will never forget making it.”The pupils have all given their chicks a name and a new home.

For my Mandatory Teaching Qualifi cation in Visual Impairment I was lucky enough to undertake my teaching placement at the Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired (TSBVI) in Austin, Texas. During my time at the school I was placed in an elementary class with fi ve pupils aged from 9-12 years old who all have a visual impairment and additional needs. As Texas is a large state many pupil’s home towns are situated a long distance away from the school, therefore they board at TSBVI during the week. The school is not intended to be used as a long term provision for pupils. Instead children attend whilst key skills are developed and their home school can be supported as necessary by TSBVI. It is always planned that pupils will return to their home schools. I had the opportunity to observe a range of skilled professionals who work with the pupils on both their academic and daily living skills. These included Orientation and Mobility offi cers, Speech Therapists and Occupational Therapists. It was clear to see the importance of specialized attention to both of these areas in order for pupils to reach their full potential. Skills are acquired and consolidated during the school day and at the dormitories. Pupils have individual lessons as well as group lessons with specialists and professionals around the school meet regularly to discuss a student’s progress and plan areas for future development. Tactile symbols are used throughout the school as a means of communication. The goals in using tactile symbols should be associated to skills such as improving organization, developing task sequencing, developing language concepts, or learning about positive and meaningful interaction. They serve as concrete representations for pupils, in particular those who are totally blind and for those who cannot interpret pictures or written words. They are also used to support a student’s ability to learn a more standard graphic language such as Braille or written words. In one class
Deputy Head at Critchill School reports on internship opportunity in Austin, Texas
I observed a very young pupil using symbolic objects rather than tactile symbols as he had not yet developed the skills needed to use the tactile symbol system. Items such as nappies and juice cups were instead used in order to both help him communicate his wants and needs and also prepare him for the daily events of school. His teacher plans to introduce the less abstract tactile symbols when she feels that the pupil is ready. From speaking to staff it is clear that many parents and families also use these symbols at home and fi nd them extremely valuable. In particular tactile symbols are used by students in their personal and group calendars. These calendars are a key modifi cation used by the school to support pupils in both their academic and social lives. The use of a calendar system helps to promote time concepts and vocabulary, support emotional development and helps to develop communication skills. They range in appearance from a two piece time box to a monthly calendar written in Braille. These calendars are designed with a student’s personal objectives and learning needs in mind and introduced at a pace which suits them. The new pupil in the class I was placed in was able to use a daily written and picture based calendar as soon as he arrived, whilst other pupils may require the simplicity of a two or three piece ‘anticipation calendar’ before moving on to something more sophisticated. My time at TSBVI was extremely valuable and thoroughly enjoyable. I learnt a great deal and hope to be able to implement aspects of what I observed and learnt into my own teaching practice. Sophie Addison - Deputy Head Teacher

Stocking up
According to folklore, the tradition of the Christmas Stocking dates back to the days of a kindly nobleman whose wife had died of an illness leaving him and his three daughters in despair.
After losing all his money in useless and bad inventions the family had to move into a peasant’s cottage, where the daughters did their own cooking, sewing and cleaning. When it came time for the daughters to marry, the father became even more depressed as his daughters could not marry without dowries - money and property given to the new husband’s family.
One night after the daughters had washed out their clothing they hung their stockings over the fi replace to dry. That night Saint Nicholas, knowing the despair of the father, stopped by the nobleman’s house. Looking in the window Saint Nicholas saw that the family had gone to bed. He also noticed the daughters’ stockings.
Inspiration struck Saint Nicholas and he took three small bags of gold from his pouch and threw them one by one down the chimney and they landed in the stockings.The next morning when the daughters awoke they found their stockings contained enough gold for them to get married. The nobleman was able to see his three daughters marry and he lived a long and happy life.
Children all over the world continue the tradition of hanging Christmas stockings. In some countries children have similar customs, in France the children place their shoes by the fi replace, a tradition dating back to when children wore wooden peasant shoes. In Holland the children fi ll their shoes with hay and a carrot for the horse of Sintirklass. In Hungary children shine their shoes before putting them near the door or a window sill. Italian children leave their shoes out the night before Epiphany, January 5, for La Befana the good witch. And in Puerto Rico children put greens and fl owers in small boxes and place them outside the front door.

Christmas is nearly here and it’s time to get out your party clothes and enjoy the festive season.
You’ve spent the last few weeks Christmas shopping for presents and what seems to be enough food to feed the fi ve thousand. You’ve lost count of the number of presents you’ve wrapped and cards you’ve written. You’ve been making costumes for nativity plays and been a taxi service for the children. You’ve been tangled up in Christmas lights and decorated the house to look like a Winter wonderland...it’s now time for you to enjoy the festive season and do something for yourself.
But before you put your apron on and become a slave to the kitchen over the Christmas period take some time out just for you, treat yourself to a pamper session. You deserve it. A massage, manicure, beauty treatment or having your hair done can relieve those Christmas stresses and get you ready to become the ‘hostess with the mostest’.
New Year’s Eve creeps up on all of us and before we know it we are celebrating the start of yet another year. We contemplate where the last year has disappeared and discuss our New Year’s resolutions, even though the majority of us have forgotten our resolutions from the previous year...but not this year...2013 is going to be the year you stick to yours. It’s a brand new year so why not make it a brand new you to match.
Here are the top ten New Year’s resolutions:Lose weight and get fi tQuit smokingLearn something new Eat healthier and dietGet out of debt and save moneySpend more time with familyTravel to new placesBe less stressedVolunteer Drink less alcohol
*NEW YOU*Around 7 million people in the UK make New Year’s resolutions to improve their health, but sticking to it in the dark winter months can be particularly tough. However it’s worth remembering just 15 minutes of exercise a day can increase life expectancy by up to 3 years!
Exercise doesn’t have to be something you dread each week and to ensure you stick to your New Year’s resolution of exercising more, make sure you fi nd something you love and you fi nd fun. If you’re looking to start running why not set yourself a goal, maybe it’s a sponsored run or even a half marathon by the end of the year! You could join a running club or get some of your friends and family to run with you so you can encourage each other. But please remember these safety tips:Make sure you are visibleWear bright coloured clothes, preferably with refl ective pieces on themDon’t run alone at nightAlways carry ID on you or your mobile phoneBe careful when running listening to music, cutting off your sense of hearing means you can’t hear oncoming cars or cyclistsDon’t make assumptions about driversDon’t assume drivers can see you
Exercise classes can also be a great way to get fi t, make friends and have fun. There are so many exercise classes you could try from Yoga and Pilates, which help develop core strength and tone the body, to Zumba and high impact aerobics which will really get you burning calories and toning all at the same time as shaking your stuff! Aerobic classes have some great health benefi ts:Helps prevent cardiovascular disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and osteoporosis.

However, running, aerobic classes or joining a gym might not be for you, you may not have the time or it might just simply not be your cup of tea. But all is not lost, there are some other simple changes you can make to help develop the new healthy you:Park a little further away from the shops meaning you have to walk a little furtherWalk the children to school or walk to the shopsTake up gardening, this a great way to exerciseTake the stairs whenever you can instead of the liftDance. Although you may feel a little silly to begin with, why not have a disco in your lounge with the kidsDo some bicep curls with objects you fi nd around the house; canned food, rice etc
If you are thinking about dieting you should always consult with your GP before starting. If you have decided a diet is one of your New Year’s resolutions you could join a slimming club where you will be able to meet new people who are also experiencing the same challenge as you. A slimming club is a great way to ensure you are following a healthy eating plan and at the same time you can share you successes and even your bad days with people who understand. Many slimming groups offer generous eating plans making slimming easier, which is good news if you have enjoyed numerous mince pies, chocolates and turkey curries over Christmas and are worried about being on a strict regime. With professional support and encouragement you will certainly shift those excess pounds.
Here are a few tips on how to make sure your New Year’s resolutions last longer than your Christmas decorations:
Ease your way inJanuary and February are cold, hard months so don’t make yourself even more miserable. Whatever your new regime whether it’s the gym, running or aerobic classes, twice a week is fi ne.
Set realistic goalsIf you’ve never been a runner before, a 10k fun-run by the end of February is achievable. A marathon could be a stretch too far.
Focus on the positiveDon’t think about how much you miss chips and burgers. If you fall off the wagon, just get back on and carry on.
Get help.Go on the same diet as a friend or family member, you’ll have someone to share your goals with.
So here’s to a happy healthy ‘New You’ in 2013!!

Hooray Christmas is coming which means lots of parties, presents and good stuff to eat! Be careful with the chocolate though- it can be extremely poisonous for your pet dog. If he does eat any make sure you contact your local vet as soon as you can. Try and keep all your Christmas chocolates out of his reach- it’s much better in your stomach than in his!

Allowing your children to have pets starting at an early age is a great way to teach them how to handle responsibility. More than this, children who grow up taking care of at least one pet tend to adopt a more caring attitude towards animals and other people. It is easy to see why having pets around is an important part of raising children.
