What is Early Help?

What is Early Help?

Please click the link above for more information!

We want all children at Sir Alexander Fleming Primary School and Nursery to enjoy a happy, safe and healthy childhood and be able to reach their full potential. Sometimes a child or family might need extra support, and we want to find the best way forward for everyone as quickly as possible. EARLY HELP means taking action to support a child, young person or their family as soon as a problem emerges. It can be required at any stage in a child’s life, from pre-birth to adulthood, and applies to any problem or need that the family can’t deal with alone.

Our Early Help offer at SAF is extensive and it is to enable everyone to work together to put your family at the heart of decisions made about your child.

Year 3- EKO at Weston Park

We are so proud of our Year 3 children who were lucky enough to attend ‘EKO’ @ Weston park today. Our children were complimented for their beautiful manners, creative ideas and super listening skills- their behaviour was exemplary! In the morning, the children enjoyed a range of creative activities from building mini art galleries to observational sketches. We also explored the mazes and looked around the art gallery. The children loved discussing their favourite paintings, the colours and how they made them feel. After some lunch, we were able to enjoy a forest walk and ‘forest school experience’: den building, smore making and mud kitchens were just some of the wonderful activities involved. We are very grateful for a fantastic afternoon arranged by EKO@Weston Park.

We are programming experts!

Throughout the spring term, our Year 3 children have been learning all about programming. With the help of Mr Gerrie from Amazing ICT, the children started applying their knowledge on scratch, and learnt to sequence their commands. From bettering their keyboard skills, planning out their algorithms and implementing their programming, the children have made excellent progress against the national centre for computing curriculum objectives. Find below a some evidence of them successfully programming sprites to make sounds, complete motions, change backgrounds and change costumes. We are very proud of their programming progress!
