Summer Term
We are making a Powerpoint about fake news to share with everyone in assembly. We know that you can't always believe everything you see online so this will help everyone to know more. Watch this space.
Fake News
Today we held our assembly with the whole school to share information about how to spot fake news on the internet. It was nerve wracking but we looked confident and it went really well!
Stay Safe Online
Young people talking about how to stay safe when gaming online- a great video for children and parents to watch together.

Today, we talked to Cherry Class and Oak Class about online safety. We shared our presentation and took questions from the children after we watched a short CEOP video. Below is the link to the the video:
