We have now entered November, a small milestone insofar it is now exactly four weeks to Fun Day. Now

as the name suggests this is a day of fun and frolics for all that attend, a chance to let your hair

down and experience the rides, challenges, foods, stalls, events and atmosphere of a very popular and

well attended school event.

However, behind all this fun, lies a very serious side indeed, the purpose of the Fun Day is NOT as

some may mistakenly think, to raise funds for the Regent School, The Regent School actually donates

far more than is raised to ensure the success of the primary objectives:

To help worthy causes and the highly dis-advantaged peoples of our community.

The organisations that we support through the Fun Day are helping the most

Dis-advantaged in society.

Families displaced through conflict,

The visually and physically challenged who are struggling to make their way in life due to neglect by

others,

The parentless children with little or nothing to wake up for every day and of course

Those in abject poverty in a society where plenty exists.

You will find information here regarding our continued work with the FCT School for the Blind, whose

lives have been moved from abject squalour to something resembling a reasonable existence, with day

to day hope and pride.

The FCT School for children and young people with Special Needs, whose situation was despicable and

continues with our support to improve.

Azarel Homes orphanage.

Hope for Survival Orphanage.

The Regent Charity, which supports a number of other causes.

As I have said, yes, it is a Fun Day and yes, it is a Fund Raiser, but not for our school, but for those

above.

Let us give all of the children, young adults and adults in these institutions a great deal more than

mere..............

Hope For Survival !!!!

Mr Kenneth Sugden.

Welcome back to a new half term; we hope you all had a restful break and are ready to engage with the many exciting learning opportunities.

In our EYFS we believe that the ways in which children engage with each

other, their teachers and their environment – playing and exploring, active

learning, creating and thinking critically - underpins learning and

development across all areas and support children to remain effective and mo-

tivated learners.

Look at how much fun we have when we are learning!

Welcome back to a new half-term!

Our theme this half term in Reception and Playgroup is Celebrations and Festivals, we will be

learning about celebrations and festivals from all around the world, while the topic in Nursery is

Animal World! To support us with our learning, we will use a range of fiction and non-fiction books.

We would love to work with you to make these topics meaningful for all children. If you have any suggestions or ideas please feel free to come in and speak to your child’s teacher.

Parent Interviews Parent-teacher interviews provide a great opportunity for you as a

parent to find out how your child is progressing at school and to show

your child that you are interested in their learning and life at school.

We would like to say thank you to the parents who have taken out time

to attend, we hope you found the meeting useful.

Tapestry We would like to encourage you to please activate your

Tapestry parent’s account to be able to view and contribute to your child's learning journal. Please speak

Our topic this half of the term is Cycles. The children have been having

fun coming up with different questions they want answered about

cycles. This unit of inquiry will help

children understand the following:

Stages in the water cycle

The life cycle of animals

The life cycle of humans

The plant life cycle

Synonyms and adjectives to describe the word cycle

How numbers are used in cycles and much more…

Please have a discussion with your child/children about this topic

and encourage them to ask questions. Here are some of the

engaging activities the children have done this week.

“ Life is a cycle of

ends and starts”

For our exit point last half term, the children in Year 3A produced a

project on structures using spaghetti. The children learnt the names of

the different types of bridges some of which are; Truss Bridge,

Suspension Bridge and a Cable-stayed Bridge.

The learning project had great cross-curricular links. In Maths, the

children measured the length of their bridges and counted 20 straws to

make one beam. They made triangular trusses (also measured) to fortify

their bridges. In English, they planned a non-chronological report about

their bridges. In Science there was a link to engineering and in Humanities

there was a focus on bridges from the past and in different parts of the

world.

It was a fantastic learning experience for the children.

In the Upper Primary, we have been learning about the

history of African Americans. The story of Black

History Month began in 1915, half a century after the

Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery in the

United States.

It is an annual celebration of achievements by African

Americans and a time for recognizing

the central role of blacks in U.S. history.
