• Year Group Focus - Year 4

  Fri 31 Jan 2025

  In year 4, our topic this term has been The Romans.  The children have really enjoyed exploring who The Romans were, why they invaded Britain and how they were so successful.  Some of the children brought in fantastic pieces of homework which they enjoyed sharing with the rest of the year group.

   

  In science this term, our topic has been electricity. The children have learnt how to assemble circuits, and have been learning through games linked to the topic. We have also explored the difference between  conductors and insulators during practical science lessons.

   

  In DT, the children have been learning about seasonal foods, and will be making their own seasonal     salads. They have enjoyed tasting different foods in order to decide what to include in their own.

   

  

• Marland ecoMart

  Fri 31 Jan 2025

  We wanted to start off by saying a HUGE thank you to all the parents/carers and staff who took their time to support the launch of our eco shop, Marland ecoMart. It was very successful, we managed to save 52 containers from waste.

   

  Councillor Tricia Ayrton (deputy leader and cabinet member for climate change, and environment) and Councillor Rachel Massey attended our launch and even refilled some of their very own plastic containers with our wonderful household products.

   

  Nigel Goulding, Environmental Educational Officer, awarded the children with their very own ‘Environmental Champion’ badges. We are super grateful and proud!

   

  Rochdale Council have posted about the launch on their    social media.

   

  We have received some lovely, positive reviews of the products which we will share with you soon.

   

  Marland ecoMart looks forward to welcoming you next month, for now, please save your 500ml containers!

  Supporting your child with conflict resolution

   

  Bickering, arguing and falling out between children is a normal part of growing up. Parents are often unhappy about this as they see this as their child being unhappy. However through the experience of disagreeing with each other children learn resilience, how to express their feelings and defend their rights. Parents who rush to mediate arguments or try to resolve disputes for their children are often inadvertently denying their child the opportunity to learn important communication and conflict resolution skills.

   

  What you can do to support your child’s social resilience:

  · Ignore minor squabbles. Resolving their own difficulties helps children develop the skills they need to communicate and resolve issues within friendship groups or with siblings. Undoubtedly there will be times that your child wants to discuss difficulties with friends or siblings, discuss these incidents but ask children for their ideas on how to resolve the conflict.

  · Give limited attention to constant tale telling over small matters. Try to reward   conflict resolution with your attention rather than giving the attention to unwanted behaviours. Encourage your child to speak about positive   interactions with others as much as possible i.e. notice when your child is interacting well with their peers or siblings and praise that behaviour.

  · If children feel unable to deal with peer conflict in school encourage them to speak to an adult who can help resolve difficulties. If staff are aware of issues as they occur it is much easier to find a resolution. Looking at incidents that have occurred the previous day is very difficult to manage.

  · Do not encourage your child to retaliate, this could lead to your child getting hurt or getting in to trouble themselves.

  · Remember that arguments between siblings and friends is normal. Don’t moan loudly about your children always fighting as children will likely live up to your perception of them.
