• Dog Safety Blue Cross visit

  Wed 07 Feb 2024 LE

  Today we welcomed Jan, from the Blue Cross, who led a special assembly about being safe with dogs.  Many of our children own dogs and/or encounter them on a daily basis, after all, they are often known as 'man's best friend' - at school, we wanted to find out more about how we can enjoy their company as well as stay safe.

  Children learnt about the 3 Cs when greeting a dog:

  Check (ask the owner first), Call (call the dog to you) and Count (count three strokes then stop, to give the dog the chance to move away).

  Jan also told the children some pointers about how to read dog body language as well as talking about other animals that children might encounter when out and about or visiting friends.

   

  

• Safer Internet Day 2024

  Tue 06 Feb 2024 LE

  Today is Safer Internet Day.

  Using the Internet safely, whilst enjoying the wealth of benefits it can bring, is a key aspect to our weekly computing lessons, however we also mark this special day each year to ensure that our pupils and parents know how to make the best use of the Internet, whilst keeping safe. 

  Mr McGinn, our computing lead and KS2 specialist computing teacher, led a special assembly to highlight the need for careful and sensible online use. 

  Edith May enjoyed the BBC live online lesson, which informed children about the increasing use of AI.  Thistle class had a pupil / parent workshop, which enabled children and adults to discuss and reflect on different scenarios that they may find themselves in - the key message was how important it is that parents/carers and children talk together about what they do on-line, with children always seeking adult advice if they are concerned about anything they see or hear.
