The Digital Leaders presented very well at assembly as part of Safer Internet Day. Their presentation and drama informed the school about consent and permission when using someone’s image online. The Digital Leaders then hosted a drop in session during lunch to help inform pupils about what happens to their data that they share online. Excellent Work!
We also discussed Children’s Mental Health Week at assembly and spoke about sharing ‘big worries’ with others.

In the nursery the children have enjoyed making a bus and acted out all roles involved. They have been using coins and tickets as part of their play. There was also plenty singing on the bus and discussion about various destinations.
Last week the children asked to make cakes in the cook room. Mrs Reilly took this forward this week with lots of measuring, mixing and pouring to make cupcakes. Children also learned about the danger of hot ovens and how an adult must be there to help.
Please remember school is closed to pupils on Wednesday 13th Feb for staff development. They school staff will be looking to enhance literacy resources and the nursery staff will focus on responsive planning.
No blog next week as we have such a short week with pupils.
