Thursday 26th - Y3&4 Production, 14:00 in the OJR Hall. Friday 27th - 0930 End of term Easter Service in St. James’s Church, all welcome; 1330 OJR/1315 LXS Half Day Break up for Easter Holidays. No after-school club provision.
All children have been working really hard and showing lots of zest and grit with their assessments – a huge ‘well done’ to them all for showing us everything they’ve learned so far this academic year! They have also been concentrating on Relationship & Health Education and French. Library visits have continued, practitioners from King’s College have continued to visit for medical/first aid workshops and we’ve invited parents/carers into school for Groundworks Coffee Morning, a Y5 Secondary school meeting and Mrs Brenta held her Parent Gym taster session. Y1 are attending an exciting Cinema trip as well. Many thanks for sending in contributions to support Comic Relief/Red Nose Day today.
Our Collective Worship theme for this half term continued with the Gospel according to Mark, discussing Jesus’s life in the lead up to Easter. This week we’ve looked at Jesus’s entry into Jerusalem and the Last Supper. This term’s worship will conclude with our Easter end of term service next Friday (27th March) at 09:30 in St. James’s Church. All are warmly welcome to attend this.
Pleasse see our full newsletter, diary dates and various flyers covering activities during the Easter break.
We break up next Friday at 13:15 (Alexis St/KS2) and 13:30 (OJR/EYFS & KS1). Do be reminded there is no after-school club provision at either site on this final day of the Spring term.
Wishing you and our whole community a lovely weekend!
God bless, from the St. James’ team.
internetmatters.org have partnered with Tesco to develop digital toolkits to help families set controls and privacy settings on new and old devices that they use, along with plenty of advice on how to deal with online risks. They've included tips on how to make the most of a digital world, based on what children like to do.
The links to each age grouped section is below and we have attached at the bottom of this page their individual guides grouped by age with additional information.
Sometimes it is difficult to set digital boundaries about amount of use, what is suitable and how we should all behave online. Agreeing ground rules for devices in and out of the home can help to have everyone working from the same page. Use the template we have attached below from internetmatters.org to help your family agree what is right for you.
Everyone can have a difficult moment from time to time. Being constantly online can make students feel like there's not enough time to gather their thoughts.
These short meditation videos can help you step away from digital distractions and get through to the other side.
Below is the link to three short videos posted by BBC Bitesize that demonstrate how children can use the internet for moments of relaxation, reflection or to help deal with difficult moments.
internetmatters.org produces many useful resources and family-friendly information around internet safety. Their Layer Up for Online Safety sheets attached at the bottom of this page explain simple ways you can use safety settings to support children's online safety.
We are highlighting the many useful resources provided by internetmatters.org when investigating ways for you and your family to remain cybersecure.
Cyber security is an important part of daily life, whether you’re connecting to public WiFi or browsing at home. Learn how to keep your family secure with expert guidance.
Cyber security means protection in the online space. Therefore, it can refer to the security settings you use on your online social and video gaming accounts or the software you use on your family’s devices.
Good cyber security means the risk of your family’s personal information falling into the wrong hands is less likely. As such, it’s important to implement security measures that protect your devices.
Here's a message to our St James' community from Jessica Ennis-Hill as we start our Tesco Stronger Starts Campaign. Just ask for the blue tokens at the Tesco till when you finish your shopping and pop them in the St James' box to help us gain funding for school projects.
