Monday

We have had a lovely morning playing lots of board games and puzzles that required us to use our maths and literacy skills.

On Friday the children had a fantastic time taking part in a range of Physical Activities and sporting events.

They observed the effects of exercise on their bodies, tried some new skills and enjoyed a bit of healthy competition too! Well done everyone!

E-safety Top Tip – online gaming

Online gaming can offer many positive experiences. It can give children and young people the chance to escape into a virtual world, to learn, and to connect with others.

However, there is a risk of children and young people viewing inappropriate content in games and being contacted by people they do not know.

Here are some top tips for parents about online gaming.

Four tips to help you to support your child to stay safe when chatting

Chat functions in games do differ however there are ways that you can support your child to stay safe if they chat whilst gaming.

  • Have ongoing conversations with your child about who they are talking to online. Discuss whether they know them in real life and what they share with them.
  • Take time to explore games with your children. Ask them to show you what they like about the game and take an interest. Speak with them about making their profile private if possible and talk with them about information that is safe to share e.g. nicknames as opposed to full names.
  • Be aware of the chat platforms your child is using. Ask your child about what they would do if someone within a game asked to talk to them in private whether that’s on another platform or within the game. Help your child to identify this warning sign and explain what they can do can help them to keep safe.
  • All young people need support to make safe decisions online. It is recommended that primary aged children remain under adult supervision whilst gaming, for example ensuring an adult is within earshot of conversations and able to see any chat taking place.

Phase 4 Phonics

Happy Wednesday to all you super spellers! Well, we are whizzing through these Phase 4 sounds now, and here are a few more activities to help you get to grips with those blends!

Using the pictures and blends given, can you complete the sentences below?

cl     sl     sp     st     tw

Here are three sets of _ _ins. They look alike.

Here is a shiny, metal _ _oon.

The slippery _ _ug sat on the mat.

The _ _own has bright red hair.

The _ _arfish has five points to its body.

You could also hop over to Phonics Bloom website by following the link and play some games to boost your confidence. Today’s link will take you to a sentence substitution game where you can make some silly sentences by swapping the blocks around. Who can come up with the silliest?
