Today the junior Digital Leadership Team came to the Infant department to help the infant School Councillors make posters for Safer Internet Day. They worked as teams creating their own posters on the laptops and each poster carried very important messages and advice about how to stay safe online. These posters were then printed out and displayed around the school. Safer Internet Day is on Tuesday 5th February and the children will be doing lots of different and varied activities on this day, all with important information about how to stay safe online.

Today as part of the Computing topic ‘We are TV chefs’, the Year 1 children made their own delicious and healthy fruit kebabs. The year 4 and 5 Digital Leaders came to help the children and they also filmed them using the iPads so the year 1 children could have a go a being a tv chef and presenting their own tv programme, explaining the different steps of making the fruit kebab. When the kebabs were all made, it was time for the best part of the activity.... to eat them! The children all thoroughly enjoyed tasting them!

Debates with Miss Carr's class and our Year 1 buddies
Date: 8th Feb 2018 @ 2:50pm
Our School Council representatives have been working hard to prepare a debate on the topic of...
Should we have homework.
Our buddy Year 1 class - Mrs Gerrard/Mrs Burke's class came to join us and listened carefully to the debate.
Esta had some excellent points to make about how we should use our free time to join clubs and spend time with our families after a long day working in school.
Olivia argued that practising work independently at home that we have learnt at school with the teacher gives us more confidence and makes us happier to try new things. She said that we need to get as much time to practise school work as possible to get a good job when we are older.
The vote was very close
28 votes for YES we should have homework
27 votes for NO, we shouldn't have homework
After our careful listening and concentration we had a play outside with our buddies!

In the Infant Department we had a very busy and informative day for Internet Safety Day. The infant children enjoyed an assembly that was presented to them by the Year 5 digital leaders. The Year 5 children delivered online safety messages to the children through role play and drama.
In class the children then made their own online safety badges,which we are sure provided a talking point at home.
Year 2 children also made their own digital footprints and took part in a class quiz.

In Maths this week we have been learning about length and measuring. The children wanted to find out who was the tallest and who was the smallest in the class. Can you spot who these children are? The children used lots of mathematical vocabulary such as smaller, taller, longer and shorter. After this the children then decided to draw around each other on the playground, we used cubes to measure the length of each person. We discussed how the cubes were good to use for measuring as they were the same size. Super measuring everyone!

When the children came into class on Monday morning they made some very exciting discoveries! Our classrooms had been visited by some mystery story characters. The children had to use their excellent detective skills to work out who had been in our classrooms and what they had been doing there. The children produced some wonderful writing that included 'Wanted Posters', 'Story Maps ' Stories' and 'Sorry' letters. Can you work out who our mystery visitors were?
