Recently Mrs Gower and Mrs Sherwin had an interesting chat with a former pupil who attended Dame Janet Juniors many years ago. Graham Twyman has written his own book, but also published his first YouTube video. Some of you may know Graham from Twyman & Holmes Funeral Directors. He'd love it if you checked out 'The Youth Club Years' on YouTube:

There continues to be an increasing number of individuals riding e-scooters on the public highway, pavements and in public open spaces. E-Scooters are classed as motor vehicles and are required to be taxed and insured. It is not possible to get insurance for privately owned e-scooters, which means it is illegal to use them on the road or in public spaces, such as pavements. ⚠️Enforcement The police are obliged to take action against anyone who is caught repeatedly using an e-scooter illegally or in a way that causes a nuisance to others. In these circumstances, the police have the power to seize the e-scooter under Section 59 of the Police Reform Act/165 of the Road Traffic Act. You risk a £300 fine, six penalty points endorsed on your driving licence and the E-Scooter being seized. If you do not currently hold a driving licence at the time of the offence, you may be prosecuted and may have to go to court, whereby the fine can increase and your ability to obtain a driving licence in the future may be affected. If you purchase an E-Scooter, it can only be used on private land with the landowner’s consent. Fire Safety Kent Fire and Rescue Service always advises people to use, charge and store lithium-ion batteries safely and responsibly to help reduce the risk of a fire. Lithium-ion batteries, or li-ion batteries (sometimes called LIBs) are found in many household items, including mobile phones, laptops, e-bikes, e-scooters, vaping devices, and vacuums. If used or stored incorrectly, there is a risk these batteries could ignite or start a fire. To help avoid an emergency, remember to: 📍 Buy electrical items from a reputable retailer 📍 Follow the manufacturer’s guidance on charging and storing 📍 Only charge during the day when you are at home, and on a non-flammable surface 📍 Always unplug after use or when charged 📍 Avoid storing, using or charging batteries at very high or low temperatures 📍 Protect batteries from being damaged, such as being crushed, punctured, or immersed in water. If a battery has been damaged, don’t use it. And make sure to register electrical items at www.registermyappliance.org.uk/. Additional information.

Our Nursery children had a lovely time learning to cross the road with Darren the school crossing patrol man. The children successfully stopped, looked and listened, then waited for Darren to say it was safe to cross. Well done everyone! #shortysnurseryramsgate #damejanetprimaryacademy #roadsafety

🌦 Rain? 😊 No problem! Turner Class dove into their first Forest School session with big smiles and muddy boots. Despite the drizzle, the children had a great time making colourful leaf rubbings and exploring deciduous and evergreen trees. #damejanetprimaryacademy #forestschoolfun

We are looking for a parent governor to join the Dame Janet Governing Body. ❓But what would you be signing up for? School Governors are volunteers who are expected to undertake safeguarding training and be DBS checked. Our Governing Body meets 4 times each academic year to look at the school’s long-term goals. At these meetings Governors discuss the school's progress and check policies and procedures are working well. Governors bring a wide range of skills and expertise from their professional and day to day lives to the governing board and we are eager to see what our parents can bring to the team! If you are interested in applying or would like to find out more about the role please speak to Mr Atkinson or send him an email via office@djpa-tkat.org
