We have finished off our week with an internet safety afternoon. It is so important that we teach the children not only how to stay safe online; but how to use the internet effectively. We focused on three elements: reliability, safety and accepting. We spoke about how if we receive anything from an unknown person, we shouldn’t open it. We should also tell an adult. We also discussed how we can stay safe online by not sharing our personal information (address, phone number, passwords, email, name). Finally we learnt about the relatability of information on the internet. We spoke about sites such as Wikipedia where anybody can contribute; so it is important to double check the information we have found on trustworthy sites or in books.
This is what we have learnt this week…
-English: we have finished our information texts and have now moved on to learning about instruction texts using the book How to Wash a Woolly Mammoth.
-Maths: we learnt how to use place value to solve additions and subtractions of money.
-History: we started to learn about the Iron Age and the hillforts where they lived.
-Science: we recapped our learning on animal and human skeletons.
The children have had yet another fantastic week of showing perseverance and resilience. They are also starting to work together very well as a team; I couldn’t be prouder!
Notices:
next Friday we have a Julia Donaldson event on in school for reception and year 1 children. Whilst the children in my class can’t attend; if they have any younger siblings I would encourage them to come along! It promises to be a fun evening with lots of activities and a fabulous raffle at the end! £3 a ticket and parents do not need to stay.
some dates for your diaries: 19th December Christmas jumper day and 18th December ks2 carol service at church.
a big thank you again for all your donations to the shoebox appeal - we managed to fill approximately 30 boxes altogether!
please can you send in this coming week an empty 4 pint milk carton with your child? They need to be clean please!
a North Face coat has gone missing that belongs to a child in Year 3. Please can you check that this has not been brought home in error; we would love to reunite this coat with its owner!
