SEND Dorset Local Offer

Under Government instruction, Dorset Council have collated all their information, advice and support for children and young people from 0 to 25 years, who have Special Educational Needs and/or Disability (SEND) and their families.

The four broad areas of need are:
  • Communication and interaction.
  • Cognition and learning.
  • Social, emotional and mental health difficulties.
  • Sensory and/or physical needs.

They have overhauled their website and are presenting their content as a directory under the name SEND Dorset Local Offer with the following categories:

  • Education and learning
  • Health
  • Transport
  • Activities
  • Preparing for Adulthood
  • Money
  • Childcare
  • The XChange

The main thing is that the published Local Offer should be easy to understand, factual and jargon-free. It should be structured in a way that relates to young people’s and parents’ needs (for example by broad age group or type of special educational provision). It should be well signposted and well publicised.

Xtreme Falconry Now Reopened

Yesterday morning, Dorset Falconry Park reopened.  After a very long period of closure Martin and his team are really looking forward to welcoming people back to the park.
Not to be missed are their flying displays at 11am and 3.30pm.

You can also indulge in a cream tea or cake in between the inevitable showers we have forecast.

On Saturday 12th June 2021 there will be a Conservation Day for ‘Project Lugger’ a charity they support whose aims are exceedingly simple in their aim and extremely difficult in their execution. Project Lugger is a charity organisation created to stop/prevent the cruel killing of the lugger falcon.

Xtreme Falconry, DorsetDorset Falconry Park is at Lewell Mill Lane, Lewell, Dorchester, DT2 8AN.  For more information, you can visit their website HERE or email your enquiry to: enquiries@xtremefalconry.co.uk. You can also contact them by telephone: 01305 250710

Dairy Farmer Andrew Frampton Is On TV Again

Only 4 months ago, we watched local dairy farmer and councillor, Andrew Frampton lose his opportunity to win money to buy himself a new plough on Michael McIntyre’s BBC show ‘The Wheel‘. Yesterday on social media, Andrew declared he is at it again: “So having humiliated myself on gameshows its time to branch out and humiliate myself on quiz shows.”

This time he is appearing on Channel 4 in a new afternoon quiz show, ‘The Answer Trap‘ hosted by Anita Rani.

  • Host Anita Rani will challenge the teams to place answers from a series of lists into their relevant categories. However not all the answers belong in the categories, some are devilish decoys – Answer Traps.
  • The Answer Traps have been set by iconic quizzers Bobby Seagull and Frank Paul, with the brainiacs competing to see who can catch the most players in their traps.
  • If the teams can assign the answers to the correct categories and avoid the traps, they get the opportunity to play for a £10,000 jackpot on the final question.

Teams?

Yes! This time Andrew is not competing alone. He has the help and extra brainpower from his sister, Gillian Yeates.  Andrew commented “Expect my usual lack of general knowledge to shine through.”
Tune in or record –

  • Friday 21st May, 3pm on Channel 4

Good luck to you both!

Moody & Murky Skies Mid-Afternoon

All day today we have witnessed episodes of dark, moody skies and thunder and lightning.  These have been followed by short episodes of sunshine… only to return.  Nothing is forecast to change for the next few days.
The three images used here were captured this afternoon by local resident Molly James, from her bedroom window.

A very dark and moody sky.

More lightning.
