📚✨ Storytime magic ✨📚

We’ve been enjoying the classic tale “The House That Jack Built”, and it’s inspired some truly wonderful creativity in our classrooms 💛

From colourful drawings to imaginative masterpieces, the children have been bringing the story to life in their own special ways. It’s been so lovely to see their ideas, confidence, and creativity shine 🌈

Moments like these remind us how powerful stories can be, sparking imagination, encouraging expression, and creating lots of happy, proud smiles 😊

Reminder! School is closed tomorrow - it's Bank Holiday Monday!

Reflecting on April 🌸

April has been a busy and exciting month in school! After a well-earned half-term break for both pupils and staff, it’s been wonderful to welcome everyone back, refreshed and ready to learn. Well done to all our students for settling back in so brilliantly, keep up the great work!

Classrooms have quickly filled with energy again, with pupils diving into new topics and showing great enthusiasm across all areas of school life. This half-term, we’ve been exploring the changing seasons, both in and out of the classroom.

💻🌍 Safer Internet Day – Why it matters in school 🌍💻

The online world is a big part of children’s lives, even in their early years. From games and videos to learning platforms, being online brings amazing opportunities, but it’s important children know how to stay safe, kind, and confident too.

That’s why we recognise Safer Internet Day, supported nationally by organisations like UK Safer Internet Centre, helping children learn how to use technology in a positive and responsible way.

💛 Why it’s important for school aged children

At this age, children are just beginning to explore the digital world. We focus on helping them:
✨ Understand that not everything online is true
✨ Know they should tell a trusted adult if something worries them
✨ Learn about kindness and respect online
✨ Keep personal information private

Building these habits early helps children grow into safe and sensible digital users.

🏡 How parents can help at home

You play a huge role in keeping children safe online. Simple steps make a big difference:

✔️ Keep devices in shared family spaces
✔️ Talk regularly about what your child is doing online
✔️ Remind them never to share personal details
✔️ Use parental controls where possible
✔️ Encourage them to speak up if something doesn’t feel right

Most importantly... keep conversations open and calm. Children are far more likely to ask for help when they know they won’t be in trouble 💬💛

Together, we can help children enjoy the online world safely and confidently.
