  Should you wish to purchase a signed copy of this book for your children, to enjoy at home, you can do this in advance by visiting www.thegardenmonster.com. This may be your preferred option, to avoid any queues at the end of the day. Alternatively, I will have plenty of copies available after school.

   

  HOW TO ORDER

   

  1. Order online at www.thegardenmonster.com by Tuesday 1^st March.
  2. Use coupon code ‘Cliftonville’ to purchase the book at the sale price of £6.99.
  3. In the ‘book signing’ section at the bottom of the page, put your child’s name and class. If you want to have the book dedicated to more than one child, simply put this in the ‘order notes’ section.
  4. Your child’s signed copy will be presented to them when I visit.

  Should you wish to purchase a copy after my visit, the coupon code will still be available to use and your child’s book can still be delivered to them at the school.

  Tue 22 Feb 2022

  The NHS in Kent and Medway is now offering the Covid-19 vaccine to eligible children aged five to 11-years-old who:

   

  • are at higher risk from coronavirus due to underlying health conditions or
  • share living accommodation, on most days, with someone who has a weakened immune system

   

  You can find more information about this here:

  COVID-19 vaccinations: A guide for parents of children aged 5-11 at high risk.

   

  If you have an eligible child, you will be invited to bring them to have the vaccine by their GP practice, a local vaccination service linked to their GP practice, or the NHS School-Aged Immunisation Service (SAIS).

   

  Parents can either book an appointment directly with their GP, or use this link to book in with any provider: https://lvs.healthit.org.uk/patheks. Eligibility will be checked at the venue.

• Cliftonville welcomes new partners- Emotional Wellbeing Team (NELFT and Kent)

  Tue 08 Feb 2022

  Dear Parent/Carer

   

  Introducing the Emotional Wellbeing Team at Cliftonville Primary School

  Cliftonville Primary School is very excited about our brand new partnership with NELFT and Kent with the Emotional Wellbeing Team (EWT). The Emotional Wellbeing Practitioners, who are part of the EWT, are hoping to get to know you and your child over the coming weeks and months, offering support when needed and finding out your ideas about how we can all work together to support the emotional wellbeing and mental health of children at Cliftonville Primary School.

   

  For more information about what we offer please see our leaflets available at school about the Emotional Wellbeing Team. You can also find out more by watching this short animation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duXLsp5wFRE.

   

  What we will offer at Cliftonville Primary School?

   

  Your child may be included in whole school initiatives, for example, assemblies and classroom-based activities that raise awareness about emotional wellbeing and mental health. The EWT will be offering a selection of workshops focusing on different aspects of wellbeing for both children and parents (e.g., understanding your child’s behaviour, helping your child with worries). Later in the year, the team will be offering support to children and/or their parents/carers who may be experiencing difficulties such as low mood or worries. This could be 1 to 1, or in a group.

   

  If you would like to discuss any of the above information, please contact the Senior Mental Health Lead Mrs Frith (Assistant Head) or SENCO Paula Standen.

   

  We hope that this information is helpful to you. We are very much looking forward to working together.

   

  Yours sincerely                                                   

   

  Elizabeth (Lizzie) Furr and Sarah Johnson

• Cliftonville have a puzzle day!

  Wed 02 Feb 2022

  "Last week we celebrated International Puzzle Day with an opportunity to create our own puzzles. Children in the preschool were busy following tracks and trails and learning about The Gruffalo story. Years 1 and 2 made some colourful class jigsaw puzzles, showing their fantastic cutting skills and working really well as a team. Word searches on a range of topics kept years 3 and 4 busy for the afternoon as they checked their spellings in a dictionary. Years 5 and 6 focused on inventing mazes in lots of different ways, working collaboratively and following suggested guidelines. Great fun was had and there was a real buzz of enjoyment at creating our own puzzles."
