E-Safety Top Tip – A parent guide to Roblox

With more than 150 million users worldwide, Roblox is one of the most popular video games of recent times. Roblox allows users to create their own gaming experiences using Roblox Studio: building levels and games then allowing other people to play them. Similarly, players can play each other’s creations, either on their own or with other people online. While it’s a tool that can help foster creative thinking, Roblox is also intermittently in the news amid concerns over young users’ safety.

In the guide, you’ll find tips on a number of potential risks such as in-app purchases, online dating and chat functionality.

Year 3 Winter Wonderland fun!

We had a lovely morning at our Winter Wonderland experience in Base Camp with our parents.

We hid our baubles for our parents to find, went on a scavenger hunt and spent some time creating Christmas decorations and drinking some lovely hot chocolate.

Thank you to everyone for coming!

Winter Wonderland

Dear Parents/Carers,

It was so lovely to actually get out in our Winter Wonderland today.

As you can see, I was having a marvellous time too with Alan the Christmas bear!

The children just love someone from their family coming to school, so they can show off what they do and the environments they have.

The weather has been a real challenge, but in true Newdale style, we have not been defeated! If your child’s event was postponed due to the vile weather, you will now know of the rescheduled date and time.

If the weather deteriorates again, we will move to our hall plan b.

Just a reminder about footwear. Basecamp is rather muddy/slippery and hence sturdy shoes or wellies are recommended!

Kind regards,

Miss Cook

Headteacher
