Year 6 Spy Day!

Today Year 6 became secret agents! They created new identities for themselves & were sent on missions around the school. They successfully managed to release Rex the Eco-warrior Squirrel from a hostage situation and spy on classes to gather top secret information! At the end of the day they shared their Spy Kit Homework Projects with Year 2 children.

Safer Internet Day 2012

"Do you ever feel that your children know more about online technologies than you do?"

Safer Internet Day (SID) is an annual event to promote the safe and responsible use of technology among children and young people. The focus of SID 2012 is ‘connecting generations’. It aims to encourage families to explore online technologies together. SID 2012 will be taking place on Tuesday 7^th February with activities across the UK and beyond which we would like you to be a part of.

It is just as important to be involved in your children’s’ life online, than it is offline. Just as you would ask about their friends at school or the clubs they go to, you should use this approach with the people they meet online – ask the same questions and show the same interest. 

To help get you started, CEOP are releasing the ‘Parents’ and Carers’ Guide to the Internet’ - a short, entertaining TV-style programme looking at what it’s like to bring up children in the online world.

Visit www.thinkuknow.co.uk/parents on Tuesday 7th February. From this day, you will be able to view the ‘Parents’ and Carers’ Guide to the Internet’ and have access to information and guidance on how to keep your family safe online.

Year 6 Spy Mission!

Next Thursday is Spy Day in Year 6! Please come in disguise and be ready to undertake some secret missions around the school. Don't forget to bring your Spy Kits!

Florence Nightingale museum

Year 2 have worked so hard on their homework projects. These were put together to create a Florence Nightingale museum. The exhibits included a video clip, a portrait of Florence, the Order of Merit she received, some lamps, models of her pets, information about her life, a battle scene of the Crimean War and a Florence model. There were posters, pieces of writing, artwork, creative ideas and information packs. Well done Year 2. It was very impressive.

Year 2 make block graphs

Year 2 had a visit from the school nurse. She talked about healthy living and the importance of having 'five a day'. We have been thinking about our favourite fruits. We have collected data and made block graphs.

Florence assembly

Year 2 retold the story of Florence Nightingale's life. They did extremely well and looked great in their costumes. All the children read their parts clearly and acted with confidence. They made all the props themselves and had fun. Well done Year 2.

Year 1 Nurse Visit

Year 1 enjoyed a visit from the school nurse who told us many interesting facts. We found out about how to keep ourselves healthy and lots of us were surprised at the large amount of sugar in some food and drinks. Well done Year 1 for listening well and for asking good questions!
