  The 1st March was World Book Day. We loved seeing the children dressed up as their favourite book characters! The teachers' efforts didn't go unnoticed either! You can see a few snapshots below - enjoy!

   

   

  

• Meet Our Digital Leaders

  Sat 10 Feb 2018 Mrs Tipton

  Congratulations to our newly appointed Digital Leaders from Year 5. We look forward to seeing what they get up to over the next few weeks.

  

• Safer Internet Day

  Tue 06 Feb 2018 Mrs Tipton

  Today is Safer Internet Day. The message this year is “Create, Connect and Share Respect: A better internet starts with you”. Children will be thinking about good online behaviours. 

   

  As part of Safer Internet Day we have launched an exciting new competition. Children are being given the opportunity to design a new screen saver for the school laptops which contain our e-safety rules. We are looking forward to receiving the children's creative designs and announcing the winner soon!

  

• PSHE Week

  Mon 05 Feb 2018 Mrs Tipton

  This week we are thinking about keeping safe during our special PSHE week. We will be joined by many visitors from a variety of organisations to help us think about keeping safe in a variety of contexts. 

   

  Today we were lucky to be joined by Chris Dunn from NSPCC with Buddy the speech bubble. He worked in all classes throughout the day, delivering important messages. 

   

  On Tuesday we will be visited by the RNLI, followed by the police on Wednesday and the Lancashire Fire Service on Friday. 

   

  Tuesday is also Safer Internet Day and so we will be thinking about staying safe online as well as Thursday being Children's Mental Health Day. 

   

  Come back soon to see more photos from our special week this week.

  

• Augmented reality

  Sun 04 Feb 2018 Mrs Tipton

  Children in Year 6 have been busy trying out some new software in their science lessons known as the virtual t-shirt. As part of their science topic on the heart, children were able to explore the organ in more detail with the help of an iPad and our new augmented reality app. Take a look at some of the results below!
