Online Safety -Minecraft
With its limitless opportunities for building, exploring and collaborating, Minecraft remains a global gaming phenomenon. Its broad appeal lies in how open-ended it is – but this also means it’s not without risk. From chatting with strangers on public servers to the grief of having a beloved creation destroyed, young players can face challenges if left unsupervised. Minecraft can also become a time sink for enthusiastic players, with late nights spent crafting and constructing, potentially impacting school and social lives. We’ve created this free guide to help parents and educators understand how to keep young gamers safe – from choosing age-appropriate game modes to setting boundaries around screen time and spending.
Sun Safety
☀️ Sunshine at School! ☀️ Dear Parents and Carers, As the warmer weather is finally here, we're so excited for the children to enjoy some sunshine during their time at school! To make sure everyone stays happy, comfortable, and safe while they play and learn in the lovely weather, we kindly ask for your support with a few things: Sun Hats: Please ensure your child brings a sun hat to school every day. This will help protect their head and face from the sun. Sun Cream: Please apply a long-lasting sun cream to your child before they come to school in the morning. If your child needs to reapply during the day, please provide a named bottle of sun cream that they can easily manage themselves (staff can offer guidance if needed, but are unable to apply it). Weather Appropriate Clothes: Please dress your child in light, comfortable clothing that is suitable for warmer temperatures. Layers can be a good idea in case the temperature changes throughout the day. Water Bottles: It's really important that the children stay hydrated, especially when it's warm. Please ensure your child brings a named water bottle to school every day so they can have access to water throughout the day. We have water fountains available for refills. We absolutely love seeing the children enjoy the sunshine and make the most of the warmer days. By working together to ensure they have these essentials, we can help them stay comfortable and safe while they do so! Thank you for your understanding and support in keeping our children happy and healthy.

In Year 2 music, we're channeling our inner Von Trapp children to explore the exciting world of pitch using scales! Just like Maria taught her family "Do-Re-Mi," we're discovering how sounds can be high or low by singing and playing simple musical ladders. Inspired by the melodies of "The Sound of Music," we're learning to hear and create our own high and low sounds, stepping up and down our musical scales to bring songs to life.

Finding three-quarters is a fun adventure in Year 2 maths! Imagine you have a yummy pizza cut into four equal slices. To find three-quarters, you simply count out three of those slices. It's like taking a bite of one, then another, and then one more – you've enjoyed three out of the four equal parts! So, three-quarters means having three parts out of a whole that has been divided into four equal parts.
