Huge congratulations for our certificate winners this week!
WhatsApp is the most widely used messaging platform on the planet, with over two billion users (forecast to become three billion by 2025), across more than 180 countries. The majority of those people (70%) open the app at least once a day – but what exactly are they seeing? Contact from strangers, fake news and convincing scams are all among the service’s well-documented hazards.
According to Ofcom, WhatsApp is used by more than half of 3- to 17-year-olds in the UK (including one in three from the 8–11 bracket), despite its 16+ age restriction. If your child hops onto WhatsApp to stay in touch with friends or family, our updated #WakeUpWednesday guide to the service contains the key details you’ll need to support them in doing it safely.
Look at our certificate winners this week! Well done for your excellent work!
Please find this weeks homework – I have spoken to the children in class about this weeks homework. They all have their logins and passwords for Fiction Express. They all understand what they have to do. On fiction express there are three different versions for chapter 1;
Please do not panic if you think this is too hard for your child, even when listening via the audio, your child should be able to complete the test at the end.
I understand that the year 3 children are a little anxious about the expectations for this year, please don’t worry, in a matter of weeks it will feel normal. It is quite a jump academically from year 2 to year 3.
I have had conversations with Mrs Greggory about individual children and what their limitations are, she feels that what I have set this week is well within all capabilities.
Homework due in by Wednesday next week.
Thank you
Kind regards,
Mrs Roberts
A small reminder that your child should have a waterproof coat in their bag everyday please, as we still go outside in light drizzle.
Thank you

This free online safety guide looks at the benefits of setting boundaries around video gaming to help young people learn healthy online habits.
Behind video-sharing platforms (like YouTube) and streaming TV shows and movies, gaming is the third most popular online activity for children in the UK. In fact, according to recent data from Ofcom, an overwhelming 89% of children aged 3 to 17 play video games. Of those, more than one in five (22%) talk to other players online who they don’t know outside the game.
The risk of contact from strangers is just one of the reasons that many parents are concerned about their child’s gaming: increased screen time, inappropriate content and in-game spending also figure among the most frequent fears. Agreeing on some rules around your child’s gaming activities can certainly help, and our guide has some useful tips for establishing these boundaries.
As a school we are celebrating Roald Dahl day, dressing up, listening to stories, singing songs and various story related activities.
Everyone looks amazing!
