Managing Anxiety<br />

Anxiety is a condition that can affect anyone and many<br />

anxiety disorders begin in childhood and adolescence. With<br />

nearly one in five young people experiencing high levels of<br />

anxiety, early intervention can benefit. This toolkit has been<br />

developed to help people understand these emotions, how<br />

to manage them and when to ask for help. There is<br />

information tailored for:<br />

Conquering the Multitasking Brain Drain<br />

Contrary to popular belief, multitasking interferes<br />

with the quality of learning. These suggestions can<br />

help students recognise that scattered focus isn't<br />

their friend during homework time…..<br />

Thursday 29 September was another successful open evening at Abbeywood<br />

Community School. From shocking science shows, to moving musical performances<br />

in the atrium, teachers and students of all talents came together to showcase all the<br />

amazing work we do here at Abbeywood. It was certainly a very eventful and<br />

thrilling evening!<br />

Particular highlights from the evening included:<br />

The Harry Potter themed Chemistry experiments, and mind blowing shows, which<br />

had no shortage of spectators.<br />

The never ending story that both children and adults alike wrote in English, written<br />

on sugar paper almost as big as the department itself!<br />

The laser cutter demonstration in Design Technology left visitors fascinated, and as an added bonus they each<br />

received their very own personalised key ring.<br />

The Art and Photography students helped children draw pictures of fruit, and take<br />

rather funny portraits of themselves in the art department.<br />

Overall it was a tremendous evening, with a focussed and electric atmosphere that<br />

left staff, pupils and parents feeling incredibly proud.<br />
