He brought in a range of nocturnal animals for the children to hold and watch. They had the chance to see a Crackerjack, the owl, a snake, a mouse a stick insect, a snail, a toad and a Blue Tongued Lizard from Australia. The children were so well behaved and caring towards the animals.</p>

	<link>https://www.kingswoodprimaryacademy.org/news/?pid=3&amp;nid=1&amp;storyid=104</link>	<description><![CDATA[<p id="paragraph_JS8zLYNbrE0">Our Coffee Mornings are going well. We are very happy to see our parents engaging with the Academy. We have had some interested in joining the PTA, been visted by Jonathan form Adult Learning, Kelly has given updates of the new government rules about attendance and our new SENDCo (Mrs Sillett) introduced herself. This sparked lots of good conversations about SEND and neurodiversity. Because of this interest, we have organised some sessions with Adult Learning on neurodiversity. Letters have been sent out but if you need another, please contact the office.</p>

<p id="paragraph_WL8zLY7brE0">We have the school nurse and our local PCSO&#39;s joining us in the next few weeks too. If there are any subjects or local agencies that you would like to invite to our coffee mornings, please let Louise know.</p>

<p id="paragraph_jE8zLYtarE0">Our Academy wouldn&#39;t be like it is without our parents. We appreciate parents views and comments. Thank you for your ongoing support.</p>

They tried lots of fun and exciting new activities which most of them had never experienced before. Everyone challenged themselves to have a go at everything. Even when&nbsp;they were feeling scared or nervous, they tried their best and encouraged one another. They learnt a lot about themselves and what they can achieve. The adults were extremely proud of everyone. We are sure everyone will remember the week for a long time to come!</p>
