Safer Internet Day February 2025
The focus for this year's Safer Internet Day was online scams. A scam is when someone tries to trick somebody else to get something from them, like money, items in a game, or personal information. Scams can happen online when we’re using technology, like a phone or a tablet, and offline, when we meet people face to face. Phishing is when a scammer 'hooks' in somebody, pretending to be from a company or an organisation (A bit like fishing). Although we were able to celebrate the things we love online, we learnt how to look out for possible scams, and to always tell a trusted adult if we think we’ve been tricked.
On the 10th February 2025, year six had a visit from the fire service to discuss cyber safety. The officer discussed the risks and how to stay safe when being online. The pupils enjoyed the sessions and felt it helped them to be safer online.

The year five pupils participated in the virtual '2 Johns' Internet safety workshop. The workshop focused on how to stay safe from strangers online, practical tipes how to get help and understand what happens when we post anything online (including pictures and videos).

The children showed their knowledge of YouTube stars in the quiz, coming second overall! Although, we are not sure if this is an achievement or a sign that we are online a lot!

In EYFS, we are getting better at using the skills needed when using the Chromebooks.
In year 1, we having been learning how to drag and drop images.
In year 2, we have been exploring music using Chrome Music Lab. It's a lot of fun.
In year 5, we have been learning how and why data is collected in space, researching the Mars Rover. We have been reading, calculating and adding binary numbers, as well as creating out own secret messages using the ASCII conversion chart.
In our year 5 science lessons, we investigated the best material for a zipline. We recorded our work and presented our findings in a bar chart. Some children presented their work using Excel.
YEAR 6 Science - electricity
YEAR 6 Science - electricity
This term, within our science lessons, we are studying electricity. We kickstarted this unit by looking at the scientist, Nikola Tesla. We produced some fantastic information texts all about him and we were amazed to find out that the infamous car brand, Tesla, is named after him.
In addition, we have been learning about circuits and using scientific drawings to represent circuits. We made predictions as to whether the bulb would light within the circuit and gave reasonings for this. After, we tested our predictions out using an online circuit builder.
Have a go at home to see what you can create. Can the bulb light if there is a hand within the circuit?
#SaferInternetDay
To celebrate Safer Internet Day, we enjoyed a range of fun activities to raise awareness of online issues and current concerns.
In year 4, we designed our own online safety posters.
In year 5, we have been using Scratch to create our own maze games. Some of us included bonuses, obstructions and different levels.
In year4, the children have really enjoyed using the program Scratch.
They learnt about coding and worked in pairs to create interactive short quizzes. They wrote 'script' so their character would ask questions and then tell the player if their answer was correct or not. Some children also added code to keep score.
In year 5, we have been using Flowol to program a sequence, using a flowchart. We learnt how to change traffic lights, sound a foghorn on a lighthouse and controlled the effects of temperature on a greenhouse.
20220302_145502.mp4We programmed zebra crossing lights. What effect does our flowchart have on the lights?
