This week has seen the children working hard on assessments to help inform teachers of exactly how their learning is going, ahead of reports being sent home next Friday. 

It has also been Design and Technology week, and there have been so many construction, food and sewing projects being undertaken across school. Please ask your child about what their project involved. 

This morning ended our week in such a lovely way, with our Mother's Day celebration- a combination of singing, poetry, sharing special photos and time spent creating in classrooms, as you can see below.....

You won't know 'til you ask (DSIT)

The UK government has launched the 'Kids Online Safety' campaign to help parents and carers support their children to navigate the digital world safely and confidently.

The campaign brings together practical, trusted guidance on how to start meaningful conversations about online life, understand the types of content children may encounter, and build critical thinking skills so young people can question what they see and make safer choices.

It also offers advice on using tools such as parental controls, recognising potential risks, and knowing where to seek help or report concerns. The overall aim is to make online safety an ongoing, open dialogue within families rather than a one-off conversation, helping children feel supported as they explore apps, games and social media.

You can find the resources here:
