NSPCC Keeping Children Safe Online
Really pleased to offer the @NSPCC ‘Keeping Children Safe Online’ workshop for parents today, with a parallel workshop specific for our children! #SaferInternetDay2023
Children’s Mental Health Week
Children’s Mental Health Week has got off with a bang – this year’s theme is Let’s Connect. Throughout the week, the children will be taking part in a variety of activities.
Monday was Dress to Express day. Instead of wearing their uniform to school, all the children were encouraged to express themselves by wearing an outfit of their choice to express themselves. The children wore their favourite colour, style or items of clothing to express themselves as individuals. The outfits were both wild and wacky, and calm and sedate, depending on what the children felt best expressed them!
During the week, each class also will complete two different lessons which focus on the theme of ‘Let’s Connect’. They will also be part of Key Stage and whole school assemblies.
Each class has also been given a compliments jar as well, so over the week children are making each other feel good by giving compliments out.
Please watch this short video that introduces the week and its theme.
Safer Internet Day
Today we are using #SaferInternetDay to let children have their say about the amazing things we can do online. Children across the whole school took part in activities to celebrate the fun things we do online and talk about the potential risks! Some children took part in creating their own SID Youth Charter to send to the government about what they want the internet to look like. @UK_SIC

Holly – what a fundraiser!
Holly completed a 25.5 mile cycle ride to raise money for St Mary’s Hospice. She set up a just giving page to raise money for a worthy cause. This is what she chose to do for her 9th birthday. She has raised more than her target of £200! Well done Holly!
