Announcements

A busy and productive week has seen us produce great History learning; 5 Turner and 6 Hockney attended their swimming sessions; Y5 started with their Millwall ‘Joy of Movement’ sessions; Y3 attended the British Museum, and 4 Kahlo also attended Southwark Park Gallery with parents and carers to see on display their recent lovely artwork with a local artist. 

Our Collective Worship theme for this week has seen us continue to explore our school vision of ‘Let your light shine’ and our school aims and values with the children. This week – ‘Being Confident!’.

Please see our full newsletter below together with various flyers as well as our up-to-date Diary Sheet. 

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.

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.

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.

If you wish to view this website in a language other than English, this short video will show you how to do so using a Google browser on your device.

We would like to take this opportunity to introduce the Evelina London School Nursing Service. If you are a parent/carer of a child(ren) at school and are worried about your child’s health and wellbeing, school nurses are here to help. We work in teams across Southwark and Lambeth and you can contact us for confidential advice and support on a wide range of issues. Please see our flyer attached below for further details of the services we can offer.

Please let us know if your child has medical or physical and/or emotional health needs for which they need support. You can text a school nurse on 07520 631130.
