Bradbury School Newsletter 15th September 2017

Greetings to all of our school community:

We had a great day last Friday reviewing our Mission and Vision statements. Many thank to all staff, parents and students who were so engaged with this review. The following is a run down of the day and process.

Background

Our current M&V statements were developed around eight years ago to replace the school motto ‘In Harmony’. This was deemed necessary as the origins of this were obscure and did not relate well to the thinking of the school at the time.

A facilitator was brought in to work with the staff, which included parents and Council members. Input from students was sought prior to the day and added to the considerations of the day. Ultimately, our current Mission and Vision were developed and they have stood us in good stead until recently, when it was felt that needed to be reviewed as, although aspirational at the time, we had ‘caught up ‘ to them.

What is…A Vision statement?

This is a picture of our organization in the future. It is aspirational, a framework for strategic planning and articulates our dreams and hopes for the future.

A Mission statement?

This states the purpose of what we do, how we do it and whom we do it for.

Our Review Day

This day was an extremely engaging one. The facilitator was impressed with the passion and dedication of all involved, determined to develop M&V statements that would guide us into our future. The involvement of parents and students added richness to the day and brought into consideration new perspectives.

Staff worked with the facilitator, Nick Phillips, current Chair of South Island School, over the morning to critically evaluate our current M&V in the light of years, educational development, understanding and current practice.

We looked at the CIS definitions of M&V revisited the ESF M&V as we felt that whatever we came up with had to align with these umbrella statements. We collaboratively developed a draft M&V statement.

However, feedback was that we needed to spend more time on our vision statement, as this was felt to be the crux of our whole way of operating. Therefore, we determined to spend the afternoon refining this aspect of our Guiding Statements.

In the afternoon, we were joined by parents and the Y5&6 Student Council and again looked at our Vision statement. Ultimately, after much discussion, debate and crafting, we settled on this draft statement:

Inspiring minds

Nurturing hearts

Enriching tomorrow

We felt that this statement was forward thinking and led our thoughts and focus to the future. However, unlike the former statements, it references our focus on the whole child, and speaks of the importance of emotional wellness as well as the ability to think in a way commiserates with 21^st century intellectual skills.

We are yet to finish refining the mission statements; we have these draft statements to continue to work from:

Bradbury School will:

Build strong foundations within a joyful innovative and challenging environment.
Nurture a holistic learning community.
Inspire and empower responsible citizens who take action on a personal, local and global level.

Mission Statement #1:

The consensus of the group was that the wording from the previous statement around strong foundations was important to retain for a variety of reasons. We felt that the years a student spends at Bradbury are foundation years for a child’s learning journey, that we continue to attend to teaching ‘the basics’ such as Language and Mathematics and that we continue to build strong foundations of learning within a joyful, innovative and challenging environment.

Mission Statement #2:

This speaks of us as a community, our focus on partnerships and the needs of the child. This statement encompasses their social, emotional, academic and spiritual wellbeing. We defined ‘nurture’ to be ‘to care and protect for someone while they are growing’. Through a holistic approach, we felt that we are preparing our students for the academic, emotional and social challenges that they may face in the future.

Mission Statement #3:

We felt that action needs to be ongoing and is relevant and significant to our leaders of tomorrow. We thought about words such as ‘awareness’, perspective, contribution, internationally minded and felt that this statement encompassed the concepts around these words well.

If you have any feedback to offer on the proposed Mission and Vision statements, please email me at sandra.webster@bradbury.edu.hk

School Counsellor:

We now have a counsellor working in school for one day per week. She is from St. John’s Counselling Service and is qualified both as a counsellor and as a teacher. This background means that she is well placed to work with young students and their families. She is able to support students who, for a variety of reasons may be struggling emotionally and need support in this area. If you would like your child to see Anson for a half hour session, please contact our Head of Individual Needs, Catherine Blacklaws on catherine.blacklaws@bradbury.edu.hk .

Shoe and uniform reminder:

A reminder that school uniform shoes are black. These need to be sturdy school shoes, not party or slipon shoes, which may be hazardous in the wet or on stairs. Sports shoes should be white or black. If you have difficulty locating these, a small coloured insert is acceptable. No coloured laces, lights or wheels. Sports shoes should only be worn on timetabled specialist PE days. We encourage our students to take pride in wearing the correct uniform and additional, non-uniform items should be left at home. No nail polish, stick on tattoos or jewellery is to be worn.

Parking outside Bradbury School:

As we are all aware, our school is situated in an area with very little easy parking spaces and reasonably heavy traffic at the start and end of the school day. This makes dropping off and picking up children by car a tricky task. Whilst we are aware of this, we would like to request the following:

In order to keep our students safe, could all parents who pick up their children from school by car please be reminded to not double park outside school whilst waiting for your children. This causes very dangerous situations with the heavy traffic at the end of the school day. Our buses can occasionally find it very difficult, if not impossible, to leave the school gates due to cars being parked opposite the school gates. Please ensure that this area is kept clear.

Please consider using the pedestrian crossing when crossing the road as the traffic coming down the hill can be moving very fast, on a corner.

And finally, please do not leave your car unattended as we may need to move vehicles quickly in case of any emergency.

Thank you for your help in keeping our students safe.

See you all at tonight’s picnic.

Thank you.

Sandra Webster

Bus Buddies

A big thank you to all the students from Years 3 through to Year 6 who acted as ‘bus buddies’ for our Year 1 students during their first few weeks of school. Our Year 1 students are managing the buses now without being ‘picked up’ by a bus buddy, but it’s lovely to still see so many chatting with their older ‘bus buddy’ friend as they come off the buses in the morning.

Fun Happenings in Years 1 and 2

I would like to share two recent example of how our teachers plan and use age- appropriate, ‘play based’ learning activities to develop our students’ skills and understandings.

Your Year 1 student may soon be mentioning their ‘Discovery Time’, which is currently happening on Thursday afternoons. During this time the students take part in a series of structured, ‘hands on’ activities that teachers have planned to address key competencies that our students need to develop. These competencies will be related to thinking, using language and symbols, managing self, relating to others, and participating and contributing. These activities allow our students to inquire, make choices, and develop skills and concepts relating to our PYP program in a fun and age appropriate way.

Your Year 2 student may be mentioning being a pirate or sinking boats, as this week they were cast into a dramatic, role play situation. Students suddenly found their classroom had turned into the ocean, that they were pirates on a ship, and that their ship was sinking! After working together to make it to safety on a small island (conveniently found in Telly Tubby Land!), supported by their pirates teachers and EA’s, students had to work together to come up with a list of the things that they would need to survive on a desert island environment or habitat.

PE News

Netball

This week our Y5 and Y6 netball girls headed to Aberdeen to take on all the other international schools. After one training session, we weren’t expecting miracles but the girls really grew throughout and improved their understanding of one another. Despite many of the other schools being dominant with their size and height, our girls showed tenacity and determination to fight for everything.

Isla Element got the coaches commendation after she led by example, showing her strong will and good play.

Food for thought…

Here’s a great video talking about having a variety of movements can improve our general health and well being. Let’s get these good habits instilled early.

Now, it’s time to get up and move around!!

Year 4 Inquiry

The Year 4 children are inquiring into ‘systems involved in the production and distribution of food’ as part of their current Unit of Inquiry.

Lines of inquiry:

Sources of products (Function)
Changes products go through (Change)
How the choices of food we eat impacts our environment (responsibility)

As part of this unit the children will be taking action by planting a variety of different seeds and seedlings using environmentally friendly plant pots – made from newspaper by the students! The Year 4 children will be continuing this action throughout the school year during their STEAM sessions and have been thinking carefully about what they would like to do with the plants that are grown. This process is allowing the children to reflect upon the food choices they make and how it impacts our environment, promoting responsibility.

Library News

A big thank you to the parents who have been coming in to cover library books and accession Guided Reading books. Your help is always appreciated. We are always looking for help with covering and shelving books so please contact me if you are interested in spending some time helping in our lovely library jane.thompson@bradbury.edu.hk
