• Day 3 - The Future is Online

  Thu 30 Jan 2020

  For the next 2 weeks, in the run up to Safer Internet Day, we will be posting a range of guides to help the parents and friends of our pupils get to grips with life online.

  ...

  Our guides come from National Online Safety who have put together some fantastic resources for parents about social media apps, online games, and trending issues so they can have informed discussions with their children.

  We all love YouTube but are we, and our children, using it safely.

• Safer Internet Day is just over 2 weeks away!...

  Tue 28 Jan 2020

  As always we will be taking part, engaging in a range of activities across the school. BUT online safety isn't a conversation reserved for one day a year. We are part of Gooseberry Planet - a scheme that works throughout the year to educate our children about being good, and safe, digital citizens.

  For the next 2 weeks, in the run up to Safer Internet Day, we will be posting a range of guides to help the parents and friends of our pupils get to grips with life online.

  We very much believe that the internet is a wonderful tool and technology brings so many advantages for our children. Our goal is not to prevent children from engaging, but to show them how to do this safely and what to do if/when they encounter a problem.

  The first of our guides is for a popular social video app. Many of our Key Stage 2 parents may be familiar with the name Tik Tok, but what else should you know?

• Dress Up Friday for RSPCA Australia

  Tue 21 Jan 2020

  Dress Up Friday!  Non-uniform Day this Friday. We are dressing up as animals to raise funds for RSPCA Australia as suggested by School Council.

   

  Please don't buy costumes - adapt an old onesie, a brown sweater, gloves, animal ears on a headband, face paints, dress as an aussi or a fire fighter, or a vet. Bring a didgeridoo, a boomerang. Anything goes.

  And if that's not possible, then non-uniform is fine.

  This is about raising money for a good cause

  All donations welcome (£1 minimum)
