E-safety Top Tip – Internet connected devices

Has your child written their Christmas list yet?

I’m sure they have included a few Internet connected devices, such as:

  • smart speakers, for example Google Home and Amazon Echo
  • wearables, for example a Fitbit and an Apple Watch
  • toys with voice or image recognition, for example Hello Barbie™ and Furby Connect
  • robots, drones and other mechanical toys, controlled via an app, such as Dash and Dot.

All of these items would make great Christmas gifts and are useful to have around the home.  However, many parents don’t realise that internet connected devices have the same risks as devices like smartphones and tablets. These risks can be more likely to happen if the devices aren’t used or set up properly.

For ideas and tips about how to keep your family safe with internet connected devices, visit the NSPCC website.

Year 2 Spelling activity – Wednesday 2nd December

Hi all,

Todays spelling activity is the ‘Dice Bingo’ game. Some of you have played this before but some of you haven’t so here are the instructions for how to play.

1) Print off a bingo board for each player (each player’s board looks the same).

dice game – number words 1-10 dice game – number words 10-100

Remember to choose the board that matches your spellings for this week.

 This one is for Mrs Thomas, Mrs Horler and Mrs Fullerton’s groups.

 This one is for Miss Newport and Miss Jones’s groups.

 

2)Take turns to roll the dice (if you don’t have a dice then I have attached a link below to an online one).

3)Whichever number you roll, you read the word next to that number on your board, highlight it or colour it in and then copy the word on the line underneath. It is then the next players turn.

4)If you roll a number that has been rolled before then read the next word along on the same line.

5)The winner is the first person to colour a line going either across or down. Remember to shout BINGO!

Please email a photo of your work to ‘newdale.year2team@taw.org.uk’ or post on the school website year 2 homework blog. We’d love to see who won!

If you need paper copies please contact the school office.
