Internet Safety Day – 7^th February 2017

We take E-safety seriously throughout the year but Internet Safety Day on Tuesday 7^th February will provide us with an opportunity to have a more in-depth focus on E-safety in each class and share some of the children’s learning with you. Over the next two weeks pupils will be learning about how to stay safe on the internet. Their learning and activities will be relevant to their age group. We believe that it’s important for children and their parents to be aware of the dangers on the internet, to recognise any inappropriate use of the internet, and to know what to do should they find themselves involved in any situation. You are invited to join us on Tuesday 7^th February for a morning assembly (9.10am to approximately 9.50am) when each class will share with you what they have learnt. This will then be followed by a Powerpoint presentation for parents and carers with time afterwards for questions and discussion. As part of Internet Safety Day we also plan for pupils in Years 4, 5 and 6 to take part in the OCC Cybersafety Survey.

 

Annual Survey Request from the Governing Body

Each pupil should have brought home via their book bag a questionnaire from the Governing Body which they hope that parents will complete for each child at school. The Governors are keen to hear your views on how well the school is meeting your expectations, what we do well and your thoughts on what needs to be done differently. Thank you.

We are delighted to share the names of our "MEERKAT Champion of the Week" award in each class last week as follows;

Reception – Grace M

Class 1 – Cianna B

Class 2 – Bella J

Class 3 – Hannah L

 

Well done to you all!

 

Swimming Voluntary Contributions

Thank you to the many families in Class 2 who have already contributed towards the cost of the swimming transport to the Abbey Sports Centre for this term’s swimming sessions. It is much appreciated. A reminder that Class 2 have their final swimming session on the first Monday after the February Holiday (20^th February). It is not too late to make a voluntary contribution for swimming if you have not done so already. The cost for the 6 sessions is £12 and cheques for swimming should be made payable to Stadhampton Primary School. Thank you.
