Downloading mods can be a fun way to introduce new experiences, accessories or settings to a favourite game, while developing your own mods provides an opportunity to develop creativity and coding skills, as well as being a potentially legitimate route into the gaming industry. However, there are also some risks, for example around possible exposure to adult content or malware, as well as the need to understand legal issues such as copyright.

This new exclusive article from Parentzone takes a look at gaming mods and is packed full of tips and information for parents.

In Oranges we have enjoyed completing a variety of maths themed activities in celebration of World Maths Day.

This morning, the children listened to the story, ’10 Black Dots’ and they each created a poster showing different representations of a number.

We also explored the work of the abstract artist, Paul Klee and created our own artwork inspired by his creation, ‘Castles and Sun.’

The week beginning the 14th March was British Science Week and the theme was ‘Growth’. We celebrated Science Week in school by celebrating growth in our science lessons. We did lots of different activities in class, from learning about plants growing, investigating if the oldest person in the class is the tallest, creating posters about how Gentoo penguins have grown and adapted to their environment and creating recycling posters, to name a few. Have a look at some of our fantastic work!
