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)

Today in maths we continued with our work on ratio but we also linked this to fractions. A great understanding by all 🙂 Great focus today everyone.

Impression questions in reading for MI

7th February 2023Stacey McClare

Today we really explored how to answer 3 mark questions around impressions. We recapped how we use APE to answer these type of questions, ensuring we use evidence from the text to support answers. We looked at a given example and unpicked the amount of marks the answer was worth linking to the impressions and evidence given. We tried hard to use the rules of critique when doing this. We then tried to give our own impressions of a character, using the text to support us.

Final redrafts in MI

7th February 2023Stacey McClare

Wow, wow, wow! Some incredible writing in MI this week 🙂 Children have edited and redrafted their diary entries and have shown real dedication and resilience doing this. They have really shown such positive attitudes, using their target grids to ensure they are using all of the features needed. Super proud MI 🙂
