What Parents Need to Know about YouTube Kids
YouTube Kids promises a safe, child-centric experience with colourful visuals, age-filtered content, and robust parental controls. Designed to appeal to younger viewers, the app has grown rapidly, being used by tens of millions of children worldwide. But is it as safe as it seems?
Despite YouTube Kids’ safeguards, reports have highlighted worrying issues, such as inappropriate content slipping through filters, subtle advertising, and the use of manipulative design to keep children engaged. Our guide explores how to navigate these pitfalls, offering practical advice for making sure children get the most from the platform – without the risks.

Arts Week in Haughmond
Haughmond have been very excited this week as we have been artistic creating lots of Mexican art. We learnt about Mexico on Monday and compared it to where we live. We have been listening to a variety of Mexican music too !
On Monday we used clay to create some Mexican themed pots which we will paint today. We also made our own day of the dead inspired masks.
On Tuesday have started our class Mexican flag made out of tissue paper using the skill of collaging. In the afternoon we looked at the traditional Mexican folk art looking at the sun and moon art. We used the skill sketching first to get and outline. Then we practised our watercolour painting skills to carefully paint out pictures.
Today we are looking forward to painting our Mexican clay pots, learning the Mexican hat dance and carrying on with out tissue paper flag.
Below are some of the exciting things we have been up too this week !

What Parents Need to Know About Emojis
Emojis aren’t just digital decoration — they’re often used as a coded language that young people use to express identity, humour and emotion. Without context, they can easily be misunderstood by adults, leading to confusion or missed signals. Some emojis may even mask risky behaviours or emotional struggles.
This guide helps decode this ever-evolving language, empowering parents and educators to have more open, informed conversations with the children in their care. It also highlights the meaning of some common emojis and offers practical tips for staying clued-in without snooping or suspicion.
Sports Update: Rounders
Our Rounders Team this week entered the Corbet Primary Rounders Tournament. There were two groups of five teams, all from other local primary schools. Our team placed second in Group A, and third overall! Our team tied two matches and won four; they remained unbeaten throughout and only missed out on winning the whole tournament by a point. These events are not only competitive and enjoyable, but also give the children chance to meet teachers and pupils at The Corbet, and also they introduce our Year 6 pupils to their potential new classmates for September. There are a couple more sports events in summer term, including Area Sports and Sports Day.
