Parent Support Group
Belmayne Educate Together Parent Support Group
We are a group of ordinary parents meeting up to support each other with our children and their individual needs. Every three weeks we meet in the school for an informal and casual chat over tea or coffee………….and hopefully some fancy biscuits!
More importantly if your child has a diagnosis, is waiting/ in the process of assessment or has suspected difficulties you can speak freely, as what is said in Support Group STAYS in Support Group. All our children have their own stories, experiences and needs and as a group of parents we hope to learn from each other and pool our resources.
We believe in
- Respect
- Confidentiality
- Non-judgemental attitude to other parenting styles and techniques.
As a parent, you may find the Support Group a place where you can openly express your frustrations, worries and fears for your child/children but also a place where you can celebrate all your child’s achievements big and small. It can be a comfort to know you are not alone. Our next meeting is on Tuesday 13th at 7pm in the afterschool room.
We operate a buddy system, if you are nervous about walking into that first meeting alone.

The tricky words to memorise for this week are: many more
*Please remember you cannot blend tricky words.
Suggested games to make Tricky Word learning fun:
Slap the word
Use one set of word cards. Spread a number of cards out on a table or the floor. Ask someone to say one of the words. Whoever is first to slap the word with their hand (or the back of a spoon) wins the word. We have played this game in class with spoons and the children loved it.
Silly Sentence
Spread the word cards out face down. Pick 3 cards and turn them face up. Say the words as they are turned up. Now try and make up a silly sentence that includes all 3 words on the cards.

Shout Out Loud
Spread the word cards out face down. Take it in turns to turn over one card at a time. The first person to shout out the word wins the card. Keep going until all the cards have been won. You can play this with silly voices e.g. whisper, roar like a lion, squeak like a mouse
