Online Safety Week

This week is Online Safety Week. During this safety themed week we will be discussing the ways we can keep ourselves safe when using different types of technology. We will discuss some of the different online activities that children (of this age) engage in and the importance of ensuring these activities are supervised by a responsible adult. We will also talk to the children about what to do if they feel worried about something they  may see online. The children’s learning this week will be centred on these aspects of online safety.

Capacity Challenge

We have been learning about capacity and the meaning of concepts full, half full and empty. Can you draw a picture or take a photograph of a container that is full, half full and empty in your home. Ask your adult to help you write a label for each picture.

Please note: There will not be any homework over half term so homework books will not be sent home on Friday.
