Internet Safety Day, 6th February 2018 – 6D

By Miss Rebecca Snowdon6th February 2018

6D have enjoyed taking part in a morning discussing relationships online and how interactions can effect the feelings of others.

They have taken part in positive dialogue, discussing different online situations, behaviours and relationships, suggesting very sensible and mature solutions and explanations. They are looking forward to recording their evidence of this learning on their realsmart online learning portfolios!

6D’s top tips for parents and children for having positive online relationships and using positive online behaviour:

  • People can interpret things differently. Be aware that a message/ post online that you think is funny, could be embarrassing or upsetting to others.
  • Never respond to a negative message or comment. Always tell an adult straight away.
  • Never talk to a person you have never met or is hiding their identity.
  • Something you post online (picture, video, comment, message) is there forever, once you have sent it. They can never be completely deleted. Never post anything that you will feel regretful about later.
  • Parents and adults should always know what their children are doing online (games, social media sites, friends, interactions). Even as we get older, we need to be supervised and checked on.
  • Always ask a person’s permission before sharing a picture of them online.
  • If you’re not sure that your post or message is ok, then it probably isn’t. Always get an adult’s opinion and consent.
  • If it doesn’t feel ok, then it is not. If you feel unhappy or uncomfortable, remove yourself and tell an adult.
  • If your parent says ‘No’, then you do not use it.

Applying our Learning

By V Holloway6th February 2018

3/4F have been learning short multiplication to multiply two or three digit numbers by a 1 digit number. After lots of guided groups and independent practise we have all mastered this method to our year group standard! Today we applied our learning to a competitive team quiz, Kahoot! We had lots of fun playing against each other whilst practicing our short multiplication method.  We also had to work well in teams!

 

Year 3 create thinking hats!

By admin4th February 2018

This week in Year 3, we have started looking at mythical creatures from Ancient Greek myths and stories. We have began with Medusa, a hideous, snake headed gorgon! The children had great fun creating their own Medusa head bands and wearing them whilst writing this week.

 

Year 4 Achieving

By V Holloway2nd February 2018

Every friday, 3/4F and 4D gather to share and celebrate achievements of the classes and individuals. We celebrate children who are achieving on mathletics and spellodrome, children who have achieved their next steps and children who are showing the expected handwriting and presentation to be awarded their Pen License.

Here are the children we celebrated today! Well done to you all!

Creating Our Posters

By V Holloway2nd February 2018

3/4F and 4D have been working hard creating their information posters about their chosen endangered animals.

This week we have focused on creating persuasive slogans and sketching scientific drawings of our animals. Miss Gilders and Miss Holloway have been so impressed with the quality of the work produced so far and the high learning zones everyone has been in.

 

Golden Mile

By V Holloway30th January 2018

After working in high learning zones this afternoon, 4D and 3/4F definitely needed a brain break! So we laced up our trainers and went outside to run or walk laps of the playground for the golden mile.

This much needed and well deserved break made sure that when we returned to class we were able to continue achieving high learning zones!
