Wake Up Wednesday

Sports betting has become increasingly visible online, appearing across apps, websites, social media, sports coverage and gaming spaces.

Even when young people are not legally old enough to gamble, they may still encounter betting messages through adverts, influencers, tipsters, friends or adult accounts.

Our latest guide highlights key risks, including:
• Easy online access
• Gambling becoming normalised around sport
• Peer and influencer pressure
• Free bet offers
• Impulsive spending and chasing losses

It also offers practical advice for parents, carers and educators on starting calm conversations, setting safer digital boundaries, spotting warning signs and finding support.

Wake Up Wednesday!

John from West Boldon Lodge came to visit KS1 on Monday.

In Year 1, John taught the children how to make their own plant pot out of newspaper and then they planted their own sunflower seed. You can plant the seed in the newspaper and watch it grow. 🌻

Year 2 have been learning all about bees and pollination recently! 🐝 To help support our local wildlife, John put their crafting skills to work and made these wonderful flower-shaped bee water bowls🌸✨

Violet Class were role models at the cricket festival. They had so much fun learning new skills. 🏏

Look at our sculptures! We have had so much fun learning different techniques and creating our sculptures. We can't wait to share them with you at our next exhibition. More information will be released via the app.

Year 1 loved having their maths lesson outside in the sun yesterday. We used equipment to explore number bonds within 20. 🌞
