Headteacher's Welcome It has been a very busy week with lots going on, in particular for our Y2 children. On Tuesday and Wednesday they entertained their parents and carers with a fabulous Leaver's Performance. The singing was amazing and it felt like a very emotional occasion as we reflected on just how far these children have come in 3 years. They were absolutely brilliant! (and many tissues were required!). We also raised £84.98 for the Sheffield Children's Hospital charity - THANK YOU! Well Done Year 2 - You were FANTASTIC!!!! As a special treat we then took the Y2 children to Forge Dam which, according to many children on the way back, was 'the best day EVER!' They had fun playing with their friends on the field, having a picnic, taking part in fun races and then of course...having an ice cream! (Thank you PTA!) It was a fabulous day and I was very proud of the fantastic behaviour of all of the children. Well done! |

Online Safety Reminder
It has been brought to our attention that a number of our children have been watching some online videos, ‘memes’ at home that on the surface appear child friendly, but it would seem, are actually quite inappropriate for young children. Whilst the memes are animated, colourful and look suitable, the children also told us that they knew that some content was ‘bad’ and that this included language which some religions would find offensive, as well as references to bombing certain parts of the world. We are not intending to talk to the children in school about this as we are concerned that if we draw attention to something they are told they ‘shouldn’t’ see online then they are more likely to seek it out. From talking to these children it sounds like the memes have appeared on YouTube and often have been in the list of ‘similar items’ or ‘recommended for you’ that automatically appear.
We would, however, like to use this opportunity to remind you of the importance of the following:-
We would advise that you regularly check your settings for parental control options and keep close supervision of your child whilst using the internet. You can find further information and advice on the attached NSPCC Factsheets. |

 We hope the children are all excited about starting their new classes after the summer holidays! Earlier this week, we joined Mrs Hawkins and the Reception teachers in welcoming the new parents whose children will be starting school in September! It was a lovely evening and we managed to recruit a few new PTA members and sell some more preloved uniform. We would be very grateful if parents and carers of Y2 leavers would donate any no longer needed uniform (no holes, marks, missing buttons, chewed sleeves please!) – please leave with the lovely School Office Team.
