Using Our Diamond Power With Dr Tom

16th February 2023 By paulsudron

We recently had a very special visitor in school. Dr Tom Robson, works with schools to encourage the development of independent learning and resilience in children and to help them to see learning as a “great pleasure and something to enhance our lives.” Dr Tom visited all of our classes to help us to find out more about our learning powers.

We had a great time finding out how we learn in different ways and how we can become more effective and independent learners. We looked at finding and using our diamond, emerald and ruby powers, which all represent different strands of learning.

Dr Tom also had a session with parents at the end of the day. Please follow the link below to see the PowerPoint from this session…

Snapchat Security Settings Update

23rd June 2017 By Admin Linda

We have received the following information from the Safeguarding Team which we would like to draw to your attention:

Snapchat has developed a new feature called Snapmaps which allows users to see the location of other users of snapchat. Many children have a large number of “friends” on their accounts who they probably do not know well, and could be accidentally sharing their location.

We would ask that parents check their child’s privacy settings if they allow their child to use Snapchat.

Full details are provide in the UK Safer Internet centre blog at www.saferinternet.org.uk

You can download further information about the Snapchat settings by clicking the document below:
