E-Safety Day 2023

9th February 2023Laura Godley

On Tuesday 7th February we celebrated Safer Internet Day 2023, attached are the slides we created to showcase our thoughts and ideas.

Internet Safety or E-Safety is an integral part of children’s education in today’s digital world and is embedded in their learning at school. At Carcroft School we want to help our parents and children improve their own understanding of e-safety issues so they can learn to use the internet and all digital media in a safe and secure way.

As a parent/carer you’ll know how important the internet is to children – they use it to learn, play, socialise and express themselves. But the technology children use every day can seem a bit daunting and you might worry about the risks your child can face online – such as bullying, contact from strangers or the possibility of them seeing illegal or inappropriate content.

To try and help parents/carers with the fast moving and changing world of internet and social media we’ve suggested a few internet sites. You can also read/download the documents for further information and advice.

Thinkyouknow (advice from the National Crime Agency to stay safe online)
Internet matters (support for parents and carers to keep their children safe online)
Parent info (support for parents and carers to keep their children safe online)
Child net (help and advice for parents and carers)
Net-aware (support for parents and careers from the NSPCC)

We have been planting seeds in nursery, making sure they are well covered, watered and labelled. We planted sweet peas and carrots in our propagator and in a separate one we also planted seeds for wildflowers – we can’t wait to see them when they flower! 🌸🪴🌿🥕

Last session today with coach Luke before half term and then they move onto dance. The children are really excited to start something new but sad to see coach Luke go.

Crew Challenge

7th February 2023Catherine Flaherty

Our crew thoroughly enjoyed their crew challenge this morning. The communication and collaboration was wonderful to see. The children worked in mini crews to complete different jigsaws. Each and every child played a crucial part to ensure their group stayed focused, persevered and motivated. Our debrief involved a discussion around resilience and how it is an important skill when we are working collaboratively or when we are challenged so we can be the best version of ourselves.

Storytelling

LKS2 children enjoyed sharing their expedition work with UKS2 on Friday afternoon. What a wonderful way to finish the week. It was lovely to see how engaged the children were and how impressed our crew were with UKS2’s handwriting.
