Fish! Philosophy
This week we have introduced the children to the Fish! Philosophy. The Fish! Philosophy provides a common framework and language for a positive environment. It originally stemmed from a project to improve the workplace at Pike Place Fish Market in Seattle where fishmongers spent 12-hour shifts stocking, selling and packing fish. (Not the most rewarding, enjoyable workplace!) The Fish! Philosophy has since had a great impact worldwide in many business and school settings.
The Fish! Philosophy underpins our expectations of each other and is based on four values:
- To Be there: To give someone else your undivided attention. Not just being physically present!
- To Play: To play well together and to have fun.
- To Make their day: To take time to do something kind or thoughtful for someone else.
- To Choose your attitude: To take responsibility for our feelings and to recognise that our behaviour (our attitude) has an impact on others. To make good choices as to how we behave.
What does this mean in our day to day practice?
As a community we will:
- Look for opportunities to acknowledge when someone has been successful in being there for someone else, or for playing well, or for making someone else’s day, or for choosing a good attitude. If we see this, we will “give a fish” (a paper fish) to them. The fish will say why it has been given. Both adults and children can give fish.
- The fish are collected in the classrooms during the week and are given out on ‘Fishy Friday’. The fish will be displayed around the school.
- Each class will have their own approach, but there will be a language familiar, understood and used by everyone.
Everyone at Moulton Primary School aims to do the very best for your children during their time here, so if you have any worries or queries, or if you have important information regarding your child which you feel may have an impact on their school life, please do contact us.
I look forward to working with you and your children.
Mrs N Snowdon Headteacher
HEALTH MATTERS
Administering of Medicines in School
Statutory guidance confirms that it is the responsibility of parents to administer medicines. Very few courses of medication are likely to be required to be taken during school hours. Doctors will normally prescribe medication that can be administered out of school hours. Routine administration of medicines is therefore not the responsibility of the school or teachers. There are medications such as inhalers or emergency treatments for allergies for which special arrangements can be made in consultation with the Mr Englebright.
Norovirus – Stomach Bugs
If your child becomes ill, they should be kept at home for 48 hours after the symptoms have ceased, to avoid the bug being passed on to others at school. This is in light of the current outbreak of this contagious infection. For further information see the Health Protection Agency website - http://www.hpa.org.uk/infections/topics_AZ/norovirus/faq.htm
SEVERE WEATHER CONDITIONS
In the event of school closure due to severe weather conditions:-
I shall always make a decision by about 7.00 am so that local radio stations can pass on this information in good time. We include radio station information below.
Updated school information is available by selecting 2 (school information) when dialling the school telephone number (01638 750236)
Never take the risk in severe weather conditions that the school might be open and try to get to school. Better to be safe and stay at home.
