12 Can you lend a helping hand?
We are extremely keen to create a parental skills database. Do you have something to offer? You will need a DBS check. Hampton Court Trip on Wednesday 9th November – we would be grateful for your help. We will be asking for helpers nearer the time. Owl puppets

13 Library Help rota Returning books – Please ensure books are returned regularly. Tawny Owls have their library session on a Monday afternoon. Training sessions with Mrs Collins

14 Drawing and Talking What is Drawing and Talking?
Drawing and talking is a safe and effective method of working with children to help them to overcome any emotional barriers that may be affecting their learning and behaviour. The core of the method is encouraging the children to draw with a person they feel comfortable with regularly at the same time each week, and this person asking some non-intrusive questions about the child’s drawings. If you feel that your child may benefit in any way, please let us know. We will be starting the first round shortly.
