We enjoy having working walls in our classroom because it helps us see what we have learnt as the topic goes on. We can choose challenges when we finish our work and show our answers on post it notes. We can also write questions so that the teacher recognises what we want to learn about and often we find the answers together.

During Well-being week we brought in our favourite book to enjoy quiet reading time, this allowed us all to have a peaceful end to our busy week at school. We spoke about the importance of going to bed early and how reading before bed was a calm way to end our day. We also enjoyed our mile walk. It was great to be out in the fresh air. In our PHSE lessons, we set goals and dreams. We discussed how it was important to always have a growth mindset and when we work hard towards something we often reach our dreams and goals. As you can see from our post it notes on our working wall, we have all improved at something, some examples are from at home and school.

Year 2 visit from Community Safety Officer
Date: 7th Feb 2019 @ 2:34pm
Today, Year 2 had a visit from local Community Safety Officer, Lindsay King, who is based at Altrincham Police Station.
Mrs King shared a very informative presentation with the children about online safety.
Mrs King asked the children which electronic devices they used and what they used them for. She explained the different uses and functions of various apps and how old you need to be to actually have your own account. Mrs King talked about various topics such as cyber bullying, inappropriate content, spam and internet usage. The children also shared their own experiences with Mrs King. The presentation was extremely informative and the children took home many safety messages such as never giving out personal information, only playing on age appropriate games, never talking to strangers online and how to ignore spam messages.The children listened intently to the whole of the presentation and will remember how to have fun and stay safe online.

On Tuesday it was Internet Saety Day. We started the day with a fantastic assembly led by our school Digital Leaders. They explained the importance of staying safe online and discussed different scenarios children may face online. In our classes we had fun making badges and posters to show what we had learnt.
Safer Internet Day in the Infant Department
Date: 5th Feb 2019 @ 3:47pm
Today was Safer Internet Day and the day started with the infant children listening to an assembly which was presented to them by the junior 'Digital Leaders'. This assembly was all about how to stay safe online and how it is incredibly important that we never share our personal information with others online.
In their classrooms the children enjoyed completing different activities linked to the theme of the day, which included making and designing their own Safer Internet Day alien badges and each child received their own wristband which will serve as a reminder of all the important messages taught today.
Safer Internet Day in the Junior Department
Date: 5th Feb 2019 @ 8:00pm
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.

Today the junior Digital Leadership Team came to the Infant department to help the infant School Councillors make posters for Safer Internet Day. They worked as teams creating their own posters on the laptops and each poster carried very important messages and advice about how to stay safe online. These posters were then printed out and displayed around the school. Safer Internet Day is on Tuesday 5th February and the children will be doing lots of different and varied activities on this day, all with important information about how to stay safe online.

Our music lesson with Trafford Music started today and we are learning the trumpet! We know how to hold the trumpet correctly and can now play C and D. The class are very excited to take the instruments home to practise.
Date: 11th Jan 2019 @ 10:34am
Today Year 5 began their trumpet lessons with Mr Thomson from Trafford Music Service. The children first warmed up their voices by singing some songs and doing actions with them. The children were then taught how to hold their trumpet correctly and they were shown how to make a noise using the mouth piece. This was not as easy as Mr Thomson made it look! The children learnt how to play their first note wihich was ‘c’. The first lesson was a success and the children all really enjoyed it! We are all really looking forward to the children performing a music concert at the end of their course. Get practising the trumpet!

Online Safety Assembly by Google
Date: 12th Dec 2018 @ 8:39pm
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 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!

As the class who raised the most money for the Christmas raffle, Miss Hobday’s class were treated to an afternoon of creating their own slime from non toxic substances. The wonderful Mrs Shaw taught us all about pollution and how as the next generation, we should try our best to recycle. We had an excellent time and we managed to link the afternoon to our Science topic, materials. Thank you Mrs Shaw!
