Important Online Safety Message 2020
As the Christmas Holidays are approaching I wanted to remind parents about safe use of the internet.

Please also monitor the amount of time your child is on the internet through the computer, laptop or iPad. Over usage can have a detrimental affect on your child. I have attached a few links that gives you more advice about keeping your child safe.

European Day of Languages – 27 September 2019
Everyone had a fantastic day celebrating the European Day of Languages on Friday 27th September. Mrs Giles shared some brilliant videos in her assembly. You can watch them here:
We had posters around school to help us say hello in different languages. We had a special menu. There was a treasure hunt on the playground and we had a go speaking different languages in a taster lesson. Year 5 practiced some Italian. They played a game of splat where they had to splat the Italian word on the board quicker than their parner!
Everyone took part in a homework task and the best will be on display in school.
