E-Safety top tip!

Hello Newdalers!

I just wanted to send you a quick reminder about ways to stay safe online.  With life being a bit different at the moment I am sure that you are missing your friends and using ICT a lot more to help with your learning.  Please remember to follow these rules to help you to stay safe:

Don’t forget that if you see or hear anything that upsets you when you are online (or on your mobile phone) then you can always email Buddy Bear or your class teacher.  Alternatively you could  tell a trusted adult at home or phone NSPCC childine on 0800 1111.

Stay safe and please try to take regular screen breaks!

Miss Newport :-)

Value of the Month- April

Our value of the month for April is Freedom

What is Freedom?

  • Rights and responsibilities
  • Self-expression
  • Freedom of speech

Suggestions for parents to work with children at home:

  • Together, talk about people in history who were being ruled by someone else and wanted freedom, e.g. Moses and the Israelites, slaves in the US before the Civil War; Hanukkah; Nelson Mandela.
  • Discuss with your child about historical slavery and modern day human trafficking.
  • Discuss with your child about the Syria Refugee Crisis.
  • Different Rules of Law around the world. Discuss with your child democracy in Britain and how this may be different from countries around the world.
  • Freedom of self- expression. Discuss with your child the importance of their identity and being able to express themselves. Explain that people living in Britain are able to express themselves how they choose; as long as it doesn’t break the law (Individual Liberty).
  • Discuss inner freedom– having positive thoughts. What does inner freedom feel like? When do you feel most free? What kinds of thoughts make you feel free? Constrained?

 

Non-Screen activities

Hi everyone,

Here are some really fun activities that you could try at home! They are suitable for all ages so you might like to work with siblings or grown-ups to have a go at them!  We would love to see some of the exciting projects you get up to! 😃

Free PE workouts from home

Join me every day next week for a home workout 😀
Starting Monday 23rd March I’m going to be hosting a free workout aimed at kids LIVE on my YouTube channel.

With the schools closed and with us all spending more time at home, it’s more important than ever that we keep moving and stay healthy and positive.

Exercise is an amazing tool to help us feel happier, more energised, and more optimistic.

The workouts will be fun and suitable for all ages and even adults can get involved.

You don’t need any equipment, just tune in to my YouTube channel at 9am each morning for a 30-minute, fun workout.

One more thing! I really need your help to spread this message. So please please share this with everyone that might like to get involved, and together we can help keep the nation moving 🙏🏻

You can subscribe to my YouTube channel at the button below.

Lots of love, Joe x

More information for key workers

Dear Parents / Carers,

 

We are still awaiting the list of who qualifies as a key worker. Thank you to all of those families who have returned their forms already.

We are now required to ask you what your partners job is, as we are being led to believe that in order to qualify for a school place, BOTH parents need to be in Key Worker professions. Please note that we may require evidence of the role you play and how that fits the description of a Key Worker.

 

Please could you return this information to school as soon as possible, if you have not already done so, to help us to continue to plan.

 

Thank you for your support
