Well, I can hardly believe we’re half way through Year 5 already! The children have been working really hard over this last half term and have made me so proud.
In English, the children have finished their stories on Pandora’s Box and in maths they have been working on decimal numbers. In RE the children have been exploring Jesus as our role model and have reflected on how we can join in his mission. In Computing the children have used decoding skills to work out and then write code for a scoreboard on a microbit. In history, the children have compared the Ancient Greek Olympics compared to the modern Olympics.
On Tuesday it was Safer Internet Day. The children discussed their online identities and considered how they represented themselves online.They agreed that people should be free to express themselves online as long as it is done kindly and respectfully.
Their online safety message is:
Check that your online identity reflects how you want people to see you.
Please check your child’s online use and help them to check their privacy settings and ensure their online identity does not give too much away. For more information and advice please see https://www.saferinternet.org.uk/advice-centre/parents-and-carers
