• SERIOUS DANGER OF HARM TO YOUR CHILD

  Mon 25 Feb 2019
   

   

  Dear parents and carers,

   

  It has been brought to my attention today about a dangerous viral game which is being spread through the internet.

  The game 'Momo', which has children 'communicating' with a scraggly-haired woman with gaunt face and eyes popping from her head through WhatsApp and other forms of communicationincluding you tube videos of Peppa Pig, Minecraft, Roblox and many others.

  This 'girl' then tells the user to harm themselves or they will be "cursed". The children are also sent disturbing images by 'Momo'. Momo tells children not to tell parents.

  Please follow the links below to find out more:

  https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2018/08/20/youtube-accused-promoting-videos-phone-numbers-terrifying-momo/

  I have had a look myself and found Momo to be an extremely disturbing image which will undoubtebly frighten children.

  Please ensure parenting software is installed on your devices that allows the monitoring of apps that are installed.

  The parent that I have spoken to today has stopped her child watching you tube completely to keep them safe.

  Very best wishes,

  Mrs Jenkins

• Number Day

  Fri 22 Feb 2019
  We are delighted to be supporting the NSPCC by taking part in their Number Day . 
  On 22nd February we will be taking part in ‘Dress up for Digits’ and pupils will be invited to wear an item of clothing with a number on it (football shirt, cap, homemade t-shirt or even a onesie!). We ask for children to make a donation to help raise money for the NSPCC. 
  
  Number Day gives the children the opportunity to see that maths is fun and bring about a positive, ‘can-do’ attitude towards it. 
  
  The NSPCC believes that all children deserve a childhood free from harm but, sadly, that’s not the case for many children. That’s why the NSPCC is fighting for every childhood and working to help keep children safe from abuse. 
  The NSPCC needs our support. By raising money, we can help to fund their vital services such as Childline – the helpline that’s always there for children and young people whatever their problem or concern. 
  
  We’re looking forward to all the fun of Number Day, and we really appreciate your support. 

• Healthy Snacks

  Wed 20 Feb 2019

  Dear parents and carers,

   

  Please can you make sure that the snacks that are sent in for playtime are healthy.  Over this week alone, children have brought pizza, muffins, crisps, chocolate and cake.  Children are also taking things out of their lunchboxes which is leaving them short at lunchtime.

  We recommend as all schools do to send a healthy, nut free snack, ideally a piece of fruit, vegetables or berries.

  Reception and Key Stage One children are already provided with a free healthy snack as part of the 'Five a Day' initiative that started back in 2004.

   

  Thank you for your support with this matter
