We had some interesting discussions in the Primary school last week about how we stay safe online. Safer Internet Day is celebrated globally on the first Tuesday of February and this year we focused on listening to how children use the Internet and their ideas for a better online world.
The classes took part in various activities for the whole week, read stories and role-played different situations that children might find themselves in online; practising asking for help was the key objective. Children in Key Stage 2 looked at issues faced by children online and rated them in different ways, such as which issues are most commonplace in their lives, which ones worry them the most or which issues are in more need of adult support and guidance.
One of the stories the children read online was about Hanni, a little girl with a magic window, which our students quickly realised was a metaphor for the online world. It is about speaking up and getting help. Children in Year 3 designed their own magic windows and talked about what they would do and say if they were Hanni, the character in the story. The story can be read by families at home here :https://www.childnet.com/resources/hanni-and-the-magic-window/

Year 12 have been spending a lot of time in Sports Hall One over the last week. Not doing sport, although they could tell you the science behind it…
There was a fun packed programme for the secondary students remaining on-site, which followed the 5 Co-Curricular strands. Students were immersed in languages, film-making, STEAM activities and cooking. They learned about children's rights and advocacy, and showed their creative talents through artwork. They hiked in the hills and formed friendships across year groups. See the Firefly page for further details and photographs
It has been a very memorable end of the primary journey for our Year 6 students. This last week of term has been jam packed. On Monday and Tuesday, the students performed the end of year production of ‘Olivia’, on Tuesday morning, there was a year group water fight and on Wednesday afternoon, they finally graduated with a special ceremony.
As a community, we've been actively promoting healthy eating habits through our weekly articles about life in the kitchen. With the summer holidays just a few days away and the heatwave this summer, we must all be more mindful of our fluid intake.
