National Online Safety Day 

We have been promoting online safety in school through assemblies, PHCE staying safe lessons, debates and discussions.

Remember if you are worried about anything online  simply: Zip it! Block it! Flag it! 

BLAST CLUB 

Tuesday the 5th February saw our first BLAST (Believing, Learning And Sharing Together) club take place in school. We had a fabulous time making scrolls, family net plates and collaging letters for our club. We also sang Our God is a Great Big God and enjoyed doing the actions. 

Thank you to all the families who came to support our Stay and Place morning in Class 1.

We have plenty more planned so please don't worry if you missed this one. 

"Many thanks to Mrs Maidens, Mrs Devine and, of course, Mrs Embley-Peers for inviting us into school this morning. It was lovely to spend time with our children in school and to see some of the developments in their indoor/ outdoor environment.
I felt that it was a very positive event and the other parents seemed to share this sentiment.
The coffee & biscuits were also much appreciated!" (EYFS parent)
