Safer Internet Day in the Junior Department
Date: 5th Feb 2019 @ 7:48pm
Today the children in our school supported Safer Internet Day. The day started with an assembly by Mrs Needham who taught the KS2 department about what it means to consent to something and how we should ask permission before doing something online.
After, the digital leaders acted out some drama scenes which showed some incorrect behaviours online. The children then made suggestions about what should have happened.
All the children received their own St Vincent’s orange wristband to remind them of the messages from the day!
Each child also made a pledge about how they are going to behave online. You can see these displayed on the classroom windows.
Other activities the children completed were: a safer internet survey, an online choices quiz, drawing the internet activity and data jargon buster.
The Year 5 & 6 children had a fantastic workshop this afternoon by Ian Richardson from Intqual Pro. He taught the children about how to behave online, how to keep a safe password and just how many devices are connected to the internet including pillows and toasters!!! The session was ended with an interactive quiz and prizes. Well done to the winners and thank you to Ian Richardson and Barry Searle from Intqual Pro.
The day ended with the Digital leaders all receiving a GOLD note to thank them for all their effort and hard work over the last few weeks in preparation for today!
We hope all the children have enjoyed the day and learned lots about consent and correct behaviours when online.
Good luck to all the children in completing their ‘What would you do?’ homework.
Online Safety Assembly from Google
Date: 12th Dec 2018 @ 8:25pm
Today the children in the junior department had a fantastic, interactive assembly by Google. They talked about their new scheme called ‘Be Internet Legends’. This teaches the children all about how to stay safe online through five key areas:
Sharp - Think before you share
Alert - Check it’s for real
Secure - Protect your stuff
Kind - Respect each other
Brave - When in doubt, discuss
The children were reminded about how to play the game ‘Interland’ where they can visit different worlds and learn how to stay safe online.
Well done to all the children, you all joined in really well!

We travelled back in time and experience life for a Victorian child. We practiced our copper script handwriting, our times tables and even did PE with Master Kerigan. We then listened to and examined the historic buildings of Altrincham and heard about their daily lives.

St Ambrose Language Ambassadors
Date: 17th Dec 2017 @ 8:46pm
Year 4 were visited by 8 Language Ambassadors from St Ambrose College.
Four of the boys taught the children Spanish focusing on general information about Spain and the famous festival ‘La Tomatina’. The children learned about how the tomato fight starts, what to wear and where the festival takes place. They really enjoyed their first Spanish lesson. Gracias chicos!
The other four boys taught the children French focusing on the topic of animals. They learned how to say different animal names and played lots of fun games. The boys were impressed with how much French the Year 4 children know. Merci beaucoup aux garçons d’Ambrose.
Well done for all your hard work and participation Year 4.
