Gladiator Visit
On Thursday, thanks to our amazing PSA, the children experienced a fantastic day with Gladiator Zack / Steel! After an interactive assembly where the children learnt about how to keep your body fit and healthy, Zack visited each class and gave the children a chance to ask questions about how he became a Gladiator and maintains his confidence, motivation, health and fitness. The children all had a great time and hopefully have taken away some learning about well-being, nutrition, hydration and exercise. All the children received a bottle of water as a gift from Zack and to help with their daily hydration!
Carers Week
Next week is Carers Week. Kingston Young Carers, including two children from our school, will be holding a whole school assembly on Monday afternoon. We have lots of children at King’s Oak who attend the Young Carers Project.
On Friday 12th June, King’s Oak will be holding a non-uniform day to raise funds for the Kingston Young Carers Project. If your child would like to take part in the non-uniform day, please send in a cash donation which will be used to support the Kingston Young Carers project.

New online safety advice for parents of children with additional needs
Children with additional needs may experience the online world differently to their peers.
Some children may spend more time online, be more trusting, compliant or anxious, or feel less in control of their online experiences.
As parents and carers, it can be difficult to know how best to support your child, especially when much of the online safety advice available takes a “one size fits all” approach.
That’s why we wanted to share Every Child Safe Online, a new advice hub from online safety experts Internet Matters which offers accessible, practical resources and guidance for parents and carers of children with additional needs.
The resources are designed to help you support your child to have safer, more positive online experiences, with guidance that recognises that every child is different.
Click here to access the resources.
Thanks for reading the newsletter, have a brilliant weekend.
