School Book Return

Could all children from all classes please return every school book they currently have at home tomorrow (Friday 26th).

This will allow us to complete a count of all school books, making sure we can continue to have high quality teaching resources in the coming years.

Welcome back P4-7!

It was the best feeling having all of our children back in the school building today, we have missed our middle to upper school very much and oh my how they’ve grown!

Thank you so much to all of our parents/carers for their continued support, we are so grateful for all the help you have given to your children and to us through this very challenging time.

Please ensure you check homework diaries for Parental Phone call dates and times, these will be written on individual stickers in the diaries.

Happy Monday from all at Woodpark!

Online Safety

As we head into the long weekend, we would urge all parents and carers to remain aware of online activity among your children. Online learning has massively increased the use of cameras – in particular your child’s ability to use them. With this inevitably comes risks and dangers from people taking advantage of the situation.

There is a TikTok viral going around today encouraging children to visit the website omegle.com

This is a website where anyone is randomly matched to someone else and they are instantly connected via webcam. This of course is dangerous and could easily expose your children to the worst of the internet, so please remain vigilant.

We would strongly encourage everyone to use the long weekend to –

  1. Speak to the children about remaining safe online
  2. Review your parental settings on your wifi/devices
  3. Check in with your child’s device in terms of apps and people they have ‘added’ on these apps.

In school we always state if they do not physically know the person, they should not be their contact in an app and should not be able to contact them.
