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

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!

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.

The Elephant Thief - Author, Jane Kerr, comes to visit St Vincent's!
Date: 29th Jun 2017 @ 4:28pm
The Year 4, 5 & 6 children were delighted to get the opportunity to meet a real life author yesterday. Jane Kerr, a previous parent at the school, has written a top selling children's book about the exciting journey of a boy and an elephant travelling from Edinburgh to Manchester. As well as hearing the astonishing true story behind the plot of the book they were able to pick up some fantastic writing tips!
We even found out that one of our family's at the school are ancestors of the keeper, Lorenzo Lawrence, who was the real life companion to the elephant, Maharaja, back in 1872. Emma and Jane can be seen below having a special photo taken together to mark the unbelievable connection.
If Jane's visit captured the imagination of your child, 'The Elephant Thief' can still be purchased through school using ParentPay. She has also very kindly offered to visit again before the end of term to sign any copies bought from school or elsewhere.
Jane's visit has certainly inspired some of our children as they have already started writing the first chapter of their own books! Keep going, who knows what the future holds for our talented young authors!
