Since 2017, cyber fraud among young people has increased by 156%, which means it’s vital that you explore this issue with your child.
Digital Matters have provided expert advice, information and actions you can take to prepare your child for scams they might come across on social media and in the online video games they play:

The children in Hollies have had a very busy week! In Phonics we have continued to learn new phonemes/graphemes and have used them in a variety of ways. In maths we have been looking at 2D shapes, 3D shapes and directional language. Some of us have even been learning to tell the time. In Science we continued to look at the seasons, focusing on Winter. We were able to say what clothes we would wear in the winter and what we would wear in the summer. In DT we used construction materials to build our own moving vehicles. In Art we explored textures with Acorns and could describe the different textures. In Geography we looked at physical features of the UK. We have also had two lovely PE lessons with Adam, a couple of visits to the sensory room, made our own tunes during music. and sorted things into categories during Computing.
Following on from our rock hunt, this week in Cherries we have tested rocks to see if they are hard or soft and if they float or sink.
As part of their DT topic, Cook Well, Eatwell, the children in Willows have been preparing and making tacos.
After planning their taco designs and deciding what ingredients were needed, they carefully constructed some wonderful taco creations!
The children in Maples have been learning all about Chinese New Year and the year of the rabbit. As part of their learning, the children made red envelopes and Chinese Lanterns.
In Music lessons we have been listening to music, sharing our thoughts and finding the beat. This will help us to create our own beat and compose our own music.
In phonics we explored the ‘ow’ sound, then read and wrote some ‘ow’ words.
This week, Chestnuts began their new art topic about landscapes.
We made a first attempt at drawing a landscape after looking at some very famous pieces of art by Monet, Van Gogh and many others.
Look at some of our lovely art work below.
Following on from our initial work on bridges and structures we carried out a range of activities which looked at how to strengthen, stiffen and reinforce structures.
We enjoyed making bridges out of paper, making predictions and testing to see how many 2p coins they could support.
We evaluated our findings and looked at why some folds in paper made the bridges stronger.

This week in Hollies the children have completed a variety of phonics and maths work. In science we learnt about hibernation and made a cozy den for brown bear to hibernate in. In Art we looked at different lines and shapes and tried to make our own. In geography we looked at a map of the UK, putting all the pieces back together and even found where we live.
