Spring 1 News Week 4 January 23rd 2023

Good morning everyone,

I hope that you have had a good weekend.

On Friday our gardening enrichment club planted the first of our food crops (radishes) It is a little early but we have planted them in propagators so fingers crossed. You can see these in our covered garden area as you walk around the school.

Some of you have asked for more information about the future teacher strike days. Please rest assured that we are doing all we can to ensure the school remains open. I will be in touch later on in the week with more information.

Have a good day

Mrs Mason

Eco Council

We have put a compost bin outside of the Hub. Eco Council will be collecting fruit skins from the KS1 classrooms. Please feel free to add any fruit waste to our bin- Thanks

Information for all parents but particularly Year 3 parents.
We have picked up that children are communicating with strangers on games such as Roblox and some are also playing games which are unsuitable for their age. This can potentially put children at risk.

Keep your child safe online
It is important to have regular conversations about staying safe online and to encourage children to speak to you if they come across something worrying online.

Talk to your child about the importance of creating a safe online environment, including keeping any log-in details and passwords safe.

These resources will support you to talk to your child about a range of online safety issues, set up home filtering in a child-friendly way and set up age-appropriate parental controls on digital devices:
