Good morning everyone,

I hope you have had a good weekend. This week we have the book fair in school (more information to follow.) We have reopened our school library and all children will be choosing a book to take to their classroom,

Keep on reading.

We are slowly getting children on our Reading Challenge board in the school hall. Please can you help your child by reading at home- thank you.

Have a great day.

PE Kit

We will be encouraging all children to bring in the correct PE kit over the next few weeks.

• Child to have a verbal warning the first time it is forgotten.
• A text will be sent home on the second time it is forgotten.
• A phone call home will happen on the third occasion (or speak to parents when they collect their child).

Please remember that children should not be wearing jewellery other than a watch and stud earrings. For PE these should be removed however if this is not possible we will supply the children with some tape to cover them up. This is for health and safety reasons.

Alright Charlie

This resource is designed for use with children aged 9-11 in primary schools and aims to highlight the warning signs of grooming in an age-appropriate way.  We might need to think about using a younger age group also, possibly Year 4.

The film below is seen through the eyes of Charlie who is groomed by Danny. The resource was designed in consultation with CSE (Child Sexual Exploitation) professionals, primary schools’ teachers and children in years 5 and 6 in primary schools. The resource is accessible to girls AND boys with the viewer never discovering Charlie’s gender.

I have attached the link as this might be useful to use we our children .
