Mrs Cowell enjoyed her afternoon teaching in year 2. The children have been learning about living things which are alive, used to be alive or never been alive. We had great fun with our flashback learning task and there were some fantastic answers. Year 2 are budding little scientists.

Character.AI enables users to create and interact with AI-powered characters that can behave like friends, mentors, fictional characters or romantic partners.

While these tools can feel engaging and emotionally supportive, they also introduce important safeguarding, wellbeing and privacy considerations for children and young people.

Our latest guide supports parents, carers and educators in understanding the risks and opening constructive conversations around AI companionship.

The guide explores:
• Inappropriate content and unreliable advice
• Emotional dependency and blurred boundaries
• Privacy concerns linked to personal information
• Warning signs such as secretive or excessive use
• Withdrawal from real-world activities and relationships
• Practical steps around age settings, limits and reporting concerns

With clear, accessible guidance, this resource helps adults support safer, more balanced and informed use of AI character platforms.

Year 6 have enjoyed learning about censuses as well as the purpose they serve in documenting and understanding history. They could not believe Queen Victoria was not considered the head of her own abode! They conducted their own class census after this and understood how difficult this must have been on a national scale!

Today, Year 4 became artists as we created our own Miracle of the Sun artwork, inspired by Our Lady of Fátima.

We learnt about the three shepherd children and their visions of Mary, as well as the special message Mary shared with them and the promise she gave. We then used bright colours and swirling patterns to represent the Miracle of the Sun witnessed by thousands of people in Fátima, Portugal back in 1917. We are very proud of the artwork they have produced today, what an excellent start to the year! ☀️🎨
