Announcements

We’ve had another sunny and productive week, continuing to focus on Science learning for our topic work. 5 Ofili have begun their swimming lessons; all EYFS and Key Stage One children have taken part in drama workshops delivered by Drama4All and 4 Kahlo have begun a series of art workshops with a local artist with a link to Southwark Park Gallery. Our KS2 Parents’ Evening was very well-attended and performing arts, music and PE lessons continue to be enjoyed by all. 

Our Collective Worship theme for this half term focusses on stories from Acts, what we can learn from these and apply to our lives. This week we’ve thought further about the apostles’ actions and the Holy Spirit and celebrated this. 

Our full newsletter is attached below together with our diary date sheet, a flyer for the summer half term and a poster for our Cultural Diversity celebration on Thursday 21st May.

Wishing you, and our whole community, a super long, May Day bank holiday 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.
