A Busy Week in Year 6! What a busy and exciting week we have had in Year 6! 📚 This week, we enjoyed exploring the Book Fair, discovering new stories and sharing our favourite books with each other. We also had lots of fun during our F.I.T.C. sessions, where we developed our hockey skills, focusing on passing, receiving and working effectively as a team. 🏑 We have also been getting creative with poetry! We proudly published our autumn rondelet poems, using descriptive language and carefully chosen vocabulary to capture the colours, sights and feelings of autumn. 🍂 We are incredibly proud of our finished poems and the effort everyone has shown this week!

📱 WhatsApp Privacy Settings – Keeping Our Children Safe Online As our Year 6 pupils become increasingly independent online, we would like to remind pupils and parents about the importance of checking privacy and safety settings on WhatsApp . WhatsApp has a number of settings that can help children have greater control over who can contact them, who can add them to groups and who can see their personal information . 🔒 How to check your privacy settings Open WhatsApp and go to: Settings → Privacy From here, you can review a number of important settings: 👥 Groups Check who is able to add you to WhatsApp groups. Adjusting this setting can help prevent children from being added directly to unwanted groups. If someone who cannot add them tries to do so, they can receive an invitation instead and choose whether to join. 📸 Profile Photo Choose who can see your profile photograph. Consider whether you want people you don't know to be able to see it. 🟢 Last Seen & Online You can co...

 This week in Nature Club we discussed how to recognise the beginning of Autumn and six big indicators:  - changing leaf colour - bird migration - fruits and berries on trees and bushes - flowering ivy - seed pods on the ground - mushrooms and toadstools In the school grounds we found most of the signs but did not see any migrating birds, although we knew that the swallows have gone, or any fungi. I hope that the Nature Clubbers will keep an eye out for more of all 6 indicators. Mr Hopegood :)
