Internet Safety in Year 5 and 6

Children in upper Key Stage 2 took part in Internet Safety activities on Tuesday. The students showed impressive understanding of how to protect personal information online, as well as spotting signs of scam. They knew the term ‘phishing’ and were able to identify safe ways to create an online profile, as well as spotting the dangerous ways to present personal information. A fun game using dice was to create a safe password by rolling, and seeing what you get. An example, if you rolled all ones, would be Happypink1dolphin£

The children demonstrated their maturity and impressed throughout.

No PLANet B

Eco Posters

This week, in art, Years 5 and 6 have been creating posters to back up messages about climate change they have learnt in previous geography units. We looked at protest poster examples and discussed some important vocabulary involved. Then we built up the skill of collaging before trying our own posters. Some of their slogans and sketches were impressive and two year 6 girls even came up with a chant while they were working:

Stop denying,

The earth is dying,

There is no PLANet B!

One world? Two world?

No…

That’s not reality.

Christmas Jars Needed

Hi everyone,

In the coming weeks Class 8 are going to be making Christmas light jars. If you could save any jars you may have at home and bring them into school we would greatly appreciate it. Jars can range in size but a jam jar size would be perfect.

Many thanks

History: Virtual Lesson with The British Museum

On Thursday we took part in a virtual lesson with The British Museum to learn about Ancient Greek Temples. During the lesson we learnt about why temples were an important part of ancient Greek culture, where they were located and the different styles temples could be.

The temples we focused our learning around where The Parthenon and The Athena Nike. We learnt that the building of the Parthenon has significant historical importance in helping us understand the lives of the Ancient Greeks. As part of the lesson we got to design our own temples. We chose where our temple would be located, if the style was doric or ionic and which god or goddesses it would represent.

PSHE Hate Crime Workshop

Today we took part in a hate crime workshop with a member of Victim Support. They are a charity, who work with the police, and are dedicated to supporting victims of crime and traumatic incidents. We learnt about a project called “I am ME!” This was a project which aimed to encourage everyone to be who they are and understand that everyone is different but we are all human. During the workshop we got the opportunity to work as a team to complete a drawing task, discuss protected characteristics and which five of these are most associated with hate crime, and ask any questions we had. The sessions were engaging and collaboratively, we really enjoyed them and learnt a lot!
