We have been busy bees in Reception today. Exploring, making new friends and physical fun Friday outside in the sun!
Year 4 have shown themselves be experts with computer networks. They have created their own version of an internal computer network. Well done!
We have launched our first theme of the year, which is based all around COMMUNICATION. During assembly the children found out how meerkats communicate with each other. Did you know that they take it in turns to watch out for predators and when everything is ok they make a low constant peeping known as ‘The Watchman’s song’? If a predator is spotted the guard alerts the others with a bark or a whistle.
People have been communicating with each other throughout the whole of human history, but how we communicate with each other has changed massively over the last 30 years.
We are going to be investigating all sorts of weird and wonderful ways of communicating in our new theme.
Year 3 and Year 4 completed their online safety assembly. They talked about all the things they have learnt across the school year. Some of these things were:
-
- Self image and identity
- Online relationships
- Online reputation
- Online bullying
- Managing Online information
- Health, wellbeing and Lifestyle
- Privacy and Security
- Copyright and Ownership
We are so very proud of what the children have achieved in their online safety Lessons.
The parents then stayed for a workshop with Amanda Hayward from the Openzone. We discussed a range of safety elements such as age ratings and setting safety systems on devices. The slides from this have been shared on dojo.
If you require and help or advice please do not hesitate to get in touch.
