Throughout Lent we would like to invite all children and families to join us in the school hall for a short Lenten reflection led by Father Frank.
This will be held once every week at 8:30am and will begin from Tuesday 7th March, continuing until Tuesday 28th March.
We do hope you can join us for this opportunity to gather as a faith community to reflect on the true value and meaning of Lent.
Abigail for being kind, friendly and respectful towards everyone in our school community. You always have a smile on your face!
Lily K for your consistent hard work. Your efforts show in your GPS results!
Livia for superb progress in her practice SATs.
The Life Ed Bus is visiting us on the 1st and 2nd March. The Year 6 session is scheduled for 1st March and is based on ‘Decisions’.
Parents are also invited to a session on 2nd March which will take place in the hall. This begins at 8:55am and ends at 9:10am.
We hope to see you there!
We have enjoyed two educational talks this week. On Wednesday, we had our first Sports 4 Champions session and were inspired by hearing the story of Shelly Woods, a Paralympic athlete from Blackpool. Today, we were visited by the Fire Service and took part in a session about keeping safe.
From next term, our new PE day will be Wednesday - following the Sports 4 Champions programme.

Keeping children and young people safe online is one of the biggest challenges facing society today and it is all of our responsibility to ensure that children are educated to make positive, informed choices when they are online.
This month’s newsletter gives helpful advice about…
the online game Minecraft, a game that remains popular amongst children,
how to set up parental controls on your WIFI/broadband - most providers include these for free as part of your broadband package.
WhatsApp, a free messaging app that allows you to send messages, voice notes, photos and videos. You must be at least 16 years old to register for and use WhatsApp; however, we are aware in school that many of our older children use this app and so the guide will give helpful advice about its features.
and links to further information regarding online safety.
We hope you find this Newsletter informative and helpful in promoting the positive use of technology to make the online world a better and safer place for us all.

Keeping children and young people safe online is one of the biggest challenges facing society today and it is all of our responsibility to ensure that children are educated to make positive, informed choices when they are online.
With Christmas nearly here and perhaps with presents including new technology or related games being received, we thought we’d share some helpful advice in setting up appropriate parental controls. Parental controls can help to protect your child from seeing something that they shouldn’t – although it is important to emphasise that no system is effective all of the time so it is important to engage with your child and talk to them about their online life regularly.
We hope you find this Newsletter informative and helpful in promoting the positive use of technology to make the online world a better and safer place for us all.
