Own It app

Posted on Tuesday 08 September 2020 by Mr Roundtree

Has you child got a mobile phone? If they have, do the have the Own It app from the BBC?

The Own It app helps children and young people take control of your online life. It gives them advice when they need it, in real-time as they type. It’s designed to help them make smart choices, feel more confident, and live their best life online.

The Own It app comes with a special keyboard. This can be used like any other keyboard, but it also gives users helpful tips and friendly advice as they write.

There’s also the ability to track how they feel and improve their wellbeing. There are plenty of gifs and emojis so users can express themselves.

The Own It keyboard and app is personal to the user. Everything your child types is kept completely private, and never leaves the Own It app on their phone.

Goodbye Y5!

Posted on Saturday 18 July 2020 by Mr Wain

Dear Year 5,

What an absolute pleasure it has been to have you as my class this year. I couldn’t have asked for a more hardworking, fun, kind and generally awesome group of people to share my first year of teaching with.

I know that the end of the year hasn’t been what we expected it to be, but take nothing away from the commitment and effort you have demonstrated through this time and through the whole year – you guys should be extremely proud of yourselves.

I have no doubt that you will be amazing in Year 6 and I will always be around for a chat – I’m looking forward to seeing your faces again in September.

Have a wonderful and well deserved rest this summer!

Mr Wain

Skipping challenges

If you are interested in trying another physical activity challenge, Jodi from Skipping School – a regular visitor to school, is running a daily skipping skill challenge this week. Sadly, Year 2 and Year 4 have missed out on their skipping festivals this year so these videos will help the children to recap the skills they have learnt at school.

 

Knowledgeable Kahooters!

Recently, within our Y5/6 reading lessons, we have been completing Kahoot’s based on texts that we have read.

Our first Kahoot was about the story: Gaby to the Rescue.

These have gone to… (drum roll)

Congratulations to Eliza, Daisy and F (whoever you are)!

Keep up the good work, everybody!
