E- Safety Workshop

Richard from Amazing ICT talking to parents

Thank you to all those who joined us on Tuesday evening – this was a very informative talk and all present joined in with the discussions.

The feedback was great and we all learned something new this evening. This is such an important part of our children’s lives and it was great to share ideas on how to guide and protect our young people.

Parents who came tonight requested that we share the National Online Safety website and app. (both pictured above).

Richard has also been kind enough to allow us to share his presentation – the pdf contains hyperlinks to some of the suggested sites. Parents_Esafety_ 2023_compressed  It contains some very useful information on  parental control apps plus family settings on devices and games.

Blue Maths Homework

Year 5

I have allocated some activities on co-ordinates on Classroom secrets kids as this was our focus at the beginning of the week.

Year 6

The Monday booster group have two sets of questions which were started in school to complete.

Friday’s booster group will have their homework set with Mrs Benson on Friday morning.

Don’t forget that we are here to help – it’s great that you ask when particular topics come up in revision that you want us to go over. We are always happy to fit these into breaks, lunchtimes or booster groups if it is something which needs focused support.

If something comes up during homework, you can always use the video tutorials in Classroom secrets to get help when you are at home. This can be helpful if you just need a quick reminder and saves you worrying over the weekend. ( They have maths and SPAG video tutorials.)

Poetry Competition

We are so proud of all our children who have learnt a poem for their homework and recited them to their classes. It is wonderful hearing such a variety of poems and poets – some children have even written their own poem. Today the teachers and TAs had a very difficult job picking out the ten finalists from KS1 and KS2 to go forward for the poetry competition on Tuesday. All semi- finalists were fabulous and had clearly been practising their poem as they were so polished. Well done all and thank you for supporting your children

We are looking forward to the finals on Tuesday when we will hear the ten finalists from EYFS/KS1 and the ten finalists from KS2. The children who are involved have taken a letter home to invite their relatives to the recital.

This is an opportunity to see your children’s books and to discuss their progress and recent assessments.
