E-Safety Top Tip – Sharing pictures

Using devices like phones and tablets to share pictures and videos can be a great way for children to have fun and stay in touch with friends and family.   It’s really important your child knows what’s ok to share online and what they should check with you first.

What are the risks?

● Once an image has been shared, you can never be sure who has seen it, saved it or shared it.

● Personal or embarrassing pictures in the wrong hands can lead to bullying.

● Knowing that others have seen embarrassing images can cause stress and anxiety, and affect a child’s confidence and self-esteem.

● Unwanted pictures online could affect educational and job opportunities later in life.

● Sharing images, particularly sexualised images, can increase the likelihood of a child receiving inappropriate sexual contact from strangers online.

To reduce these risks it is important for you to talk to your child.  Ensure that they know the rules around sharing pictures.

You can find a useful guide for parents about sharing pictures here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEMH5BIrrW4&t=9s

If you need more support or guidance with online safety please contact a staff member or send us an email newdale.primary@taw.org.uk

Circus tricks!

Miss Newport’s class had lots of fun practising some circus skills today.  Our visitor from the circus showed us how to use scarves, beanbags and even peacock feathers to do some circus tricks.  We learnt that it must take a lot of practise to be a member of the circus!

Bike to School Week 2021 27th September and 1st October

Bike to school week is taking place between 27th September and the 1st October 2021.

It’s a great opportunity to celebrate cycling and scooting and the positive impact it has on children’s health and wellbeing as well as the environment.

We are very lucky to have bike sheds here at school and would like to encourage as many families as we can to bike or scoot to school that week. It is hoped that by biking to school, pupils will think about their journeys to school, understand the benefits of active travel, and consider the causes and effects of air pollution. 

Happy cycling!

Harvest Festival

Harvest time is nearly upon us and as we have done in previous years, this year we will be collecting food items for Telford Crisis Support. The charity will be coming into school to see us in assembly on Monday 27th September to explain the work that they do. Following this, we would appreciate it if you were able to spare and send into school any food items (tinned or packaged and in date please) that you do not require. Please can children take the items to their classrooms and teachers will gather them together. The charity will collect the donations the following week on Monday 4th October. Thank you in advance for you help.

Year 3 Forest School Fun!

Year 3 had a great afternoon exploring the Forest School and Base Camp! We spent time imagining what life in the Stone Age would have been like and what materials they may have used to hunt, gather and build with.
