Inspire Afternoons Summer Term 2023
Fri 31 Mar 2023Dear Year 1 to 6 Parents and Carers,
We are delighted with the feedback from our Inspire afternoons. The feedback shows that you have enjoyed them and feel like you know more about how we teach and our curriculum - brilliant!
We have planned the dates for the Summer term, see the attachment for the dates for your children's classes. The sessions will take place in the infant school hall (Y1,Y2, 4 Oak & 4 Holly) and junior school hall (Y3,4 Beech, Y5 and Y6).
If you are not available to join your child, a grandparent, aunt, close family friend, etc, could attend. It would be great if every child had an adult with them. To enable us to ensure children are safeguarded, all children will be closely supervised by the staff and the adults will only be allowed in the hall and to use the toilets.
The afternoons will begin at 1.40pm, finishing about 3.00pm to give enough time for the teacher to take the children back to class and round off the day for 3.15pm (children cannot be taken home early at 3.00pm). It is essential the adults arrive by 1.40pm otherwise it will be very disruptive to the lesson.
When it is your child’s Inspire Afternoon please go to the main entrance of the infants or juniors.

Big Talk Education- Parent Presentation link included
Wed 08 Mar 2023To keep children as safe as possible Relationship Education is now statutory in all Primary Schools, we are engaging the support of the specialist organisation BigTalk Education, who are a Social Enterprise recognised by national lead bodies and Government.
They work with 3yr olds upwards and have been involved in delivering age-appropriate education of this type for over 20 years.
Below is some information on the Growing Up Safe programme that will be delivered to the Children.
- Age 3 (Nursery). A fun learning environment where the children are taught: the differences between boys and girls, naming body parts, correct scientific words, private areas of the body, good touches and bad touches.
- Ages 4 to 8 (Reception School Years 1, 2 & 3) Re-enforces and checks what was covered in Nursery. Using specially designed child friendly resources at the end of this session they will be able to identify happy situations within relationships, and those which may be risky (e.g., other children or adults taking improper photographs of them, inappropriate touches, exposure to unsuitable media etc.) Plus, whom they can talk to if they are worried.
- Ages 8 to 9 (School Year 4) We cover different kinds of families, similarities and differences between boys and girls, the emotional and physical changes of growing up (puberty) how babies are made, then develop in the womb etc. (reproduction). Also discussed is, how to look after our bodies and be safe and healthy.
- Ages 9 to 11 (School Years 5 & 6) Reproduction and puberty are re-capped, the children are given the opportunity to ask questions. As well as additional clarification on puberty, they will often want more details on how babies develop and are born. It is important that they know there is someone in school as well as at home if they want help, advice or more information etc. (Information at this stage is vital to protect them as they move onto Secondary School and to provide an alternative to Google etc.
All the resources BigTalk Education use are age appropriate and help keep children protected from unwanted touches, abuse, and exposure to unsuitable images etc.
Further information on the above can be found on: www.bigtalkeducation.co.uk/parentsThe new video Parent presentations https://www.bigtalkeducation.co.uk/year-by-year/ are on our website. The password to access the presentations is: Happy&Safe
In addition, “Bodies, Babies and Bellybuttons” is the BigTalk book which accompanies the Growing Up Safe programme. This is a great resource for parents and can be ordered online from www.bigtalkeducation.co.uk on our Resources page.
Should you require any further information BigTalk Education can be contacted on admin@bigtalkeducation.co.ukIf you have any queries regarding the above information and would like to discuss this with someone from school, please do not hesitate to contact me via email on admin.berkeleyprimary@northlincs.gov.uk
