Netball training- cancelled today

Many thanks

Netball Club cancelled tonight
Dear parents and carers,
My sincere apologies but netball club for year 5 and 6 will be cancelled tonight due to parents evening.
Kind regards
Mrs Vicky Hopkins
Whats App
We have been made aware on a few occasions since the summer holidays of unkindness on Whats App between children in year 6. As a school who are promoting a Smartphone Free Childhood, we ask that you consider the devices your children have access to, and the apps they use. Whats App, as an example, has a minimum age requirement of 13 years old. This is for safeguarding reasons for your children.
We teach the children e-safety as part of our curriculum in school and, apart from suggesting that children should not be on these apps, as a school we have little other control over these issues when they happen at home. We are aware however that there are things on these apps which are making children very distressed, and these issues spill into school and impact the children's ability to focus and learn.
Please can we ask that you review your child's internet and social media use so that they are accessing age appropriate apps and that they are keeping safe online.
Kind regards
Mrs Vicky Hopkins

Dear parents and carers,
We have made the decision to cancel tonight's year 5 and 6 netball practice due to the weather forecast for the day. Children will need collecting as usual at the end of the school day. Traning will resume after half term.
Thank you
Year 6 Residential fun
