E-Safety Week

It is important that children’s use of the internet is monitored at home - in particular, children’s use of social networking sites. Soon we will have our E-Safety Week where the children will be learning more about how to use the internet safely.

Topic Presentations

As you all know, these are short presentations where the children tell the story of their learning in their most recent topic. These presentations are in dates for diaries.
