Good morning everyone,

The week has flown by and we are about to start a 3 day weekend- fingers crossed the weather will warm up.

We have a number of children coming to school wearing coloured trainers and jewellery. Can I reminded you that school footwear should be black and the only jewellery children should be wearing is a watch and small earrings if ears are pierced.

Book Fair

Please come into the school hall at the end of the day to look at the books on sale.

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 .
