5. Headteacher’s Online Newsletter May 2009

In recent weeks, we have had to take action against a small minority of pupils who have uploaded games onto the school network.

It is important that all pupils only use the school network to complete school work.

A. The school computer network has been out of order for weeks.

B. Do not upload your homework onto the school computer network.

C. Do not use the school computers for gaming.

D. The headteacher has made the school network more attractive by uploading games.

Dallas Zoo - Important:

Whole rabbits will be offered at today’s Big Cat feeding. It may shock small children to watch our lions and tigers eat whole dead rabbits. Eating whole animals gives the cats a chance to use many of the senses and feeding skills they would use in the wild.

The Texts

(6) When we’re out walking, having a dog with us gives other people a reason to stop and talk, thereby increasing the number of people we meet, giving us an opportunity to increase our network of friends. Sometimes the conversation stays at the “dog level,” sometimes it becomes a real social interchange.

(7) For those who love animals, it’s basically impossible to stay in a bad mood when a pair of loving puppy eyes meets yours, or when a super-soft cat rubs up against your hand. Studies support the mood-enhancing benefits of pets.

(8) Playing with pets is in the top ten physical activity choices for children and families; owning a dog may help people to exercise more and can help to reduce childhood obesity.



(9) Anyone who owns a pet knows that a pet quickly becomes a member of the family. As such, the family addition under the dinner table has great benefits for you and the whole family. Pets are great stress-busters in domestic situations — a good German shepherd dog will intervene when tensions rise. (10) It was once thought that kids who were raised in a home with dogs and cats were likely to develop pet allergies and asthma. However, a growing number of researchers have suggested that kids growing up in a home with “furred animals” — whether it’s a pet cat or dog, or on a farm and exposed to large animals — will have less risk of allergies and asthma.

(11) Pets can offer unconditional love and friendship. They are always there for you and can even keep your secrets.

(12) For elderly people who are still agile enough walking a dog can provide exercise and companionship. Research has shown that old people feel less alone if there is an animal in the home.

(13) Owning a dog as a child teaches them how to be responsible not only for themselves but also for others. The child learns to understand the needs of others and the consequences of their actions. Learning to take responsibility will not only help the child now but will be very important for their future relationships and careers.

(14) Some dogs help people who can’t see by leading them so they don't step on something or fall. They guide them so they don't unknowingly walk in front of a car or hurt themselves in some other way. They communicate so that the person who is blind has an easier time getting around.

(15) When there is a crime or a disaster (like an earthquake), trained dogs are brought in to help. These dogs work hard to rescue people who are trapped or lost. They also help to find people who have committed crimes and fled. The dogs' noses are so good they are almost always able to sniff out and find what they are looking for—even if it's underground or underwater.



Reading Part 3: Compulsory* Cooking Classes Adapted from the following articles: http://www.dcsf.gov.uk/pns/DisplayPN.cgi?pn_id=2008_0195 11 September 2008; http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/education/article4733953.ece 12 September 2008

• Read the text and the statements on the opposite page. • Put a tick ( ) in the box next to the correct answer. • Only one answer is correct in each case.

In January, the government announced that from 2011, practical cooking lessons will be a must for every 11 to 14-year-old. This is the first time that cooking has ever been compulsory in secondary schools. “Cooking is already taught in the vast majority of primary schools and we’re making it compulsory in secondary schools from 2011”, said Ed Balls, Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families. He also said that every school would be ready to offer cooking classes – with well-equipped kitchens and qualified, motivated teachers.

Over 85 per cent of schools already have good kitchens and offer cooking and food technology classes. Starting in September 2008 all the pupils at these schools will have to learn basic cooking techniques. By 2011 the other 15 per cent – mainly all-boy schools that did not teach cooking before – will be expected to have the kitchen equipment needed to teach the cooking classes. The government is willing to spend several million pounds to build new food technology teaching areas and to train specialist teachers.

The Government is also publishing a new, free cookbook for all 11-year-olds to help them learn some healthy versions of popular dishes – including spaghetti bolognese, risotto, roast chicken legs, chow mein, lamb hot pot, shepherd’s pie and apple crumble. The Real Meals Cookbook contains 32 classic recipes. These recipes were chosen after the British people were asked to name the basic dishes every child should learn how to cook. You can get the cookbook online and the headmasters of secondary schools will be able to order copies for all their Year 7 pupils.

This new interest in cooking is mainly a reaction to the high number of extremely fat people in Britain, which is one of the highest in Europe. According to government statistics half of all Britons will be too fat in 25 years if this trend is not stopped. “Too many people just accept they cannot cook or simply do not have time for it”, said Ed Balls. “We’ve lost touch with making basic dishes, even though there has never been a wider range of food in our shops. Celebrity chef cookbooks are best-sellers but for too many people, cooking is now something they watch on television instead of doing it themselves.” He

went on to say that cooking is not quantum physics and that once you have learned how to cook the basic dishes it is a simple skill which you can build on for the rest of your life. You can prepare healthy meals cheaply even if food prices are high. That way you don’t have to eat the salt, sugar and fat contained in fast food meals.

Phil Vickery, the star cook who has written the foreword to the cookbook, said that cooking is a skill which should be learned at an early age. He added: “Once you can cook the basics you will have the best survival tool in the box to take you into adult life.“

Have your say Adapted from: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/education/article3229949.ece; www.bbcgoodfood.com/blog/029-school-cooking, 22 January 2008

I was glad to learn that cookery has been made compulsory in secondary schools. About time, too. At the moment the government’s plan is for each pupil to get just one hour of cooking a week for one term. Still, it's a start and something many of us have wanted since 1992 when cooking lessons were no longer compulsory at schools. Mary Cardigan Is the government now trying to control our day-to-day lives? Our health and what we eat, drink or even if we smoke are all our choices to make, not the government’s. Les, Southport, England I cannot think of a bigger waste of school time than teaching young people how to cook. Instead they should learn something that will make a real difference to their future. Nathan, Chester, UK Parents should be teaching kids about good, healthy food but that is obviously not happening in many households. That’s why they should learn some basic cooking skills in school. A few simple recipes cooked from start to finish with fresh, simple foods will be all that is needed to get most kids interested in cooking. Leah Wright, Chesterfield I think this is a good idea, plenty of young adults I know haven’t a clue even how to do something simple like scrambled eggs! Lisa S Essex
