  • What Parents and Carers Need to Know about Omegle #WakeupWednesday

    Published 11/10/23

     

     

    We will regularly share free online safety guides provided by National Online Safety (NOS) as this is part of our commitment to keeping all children and families safe online. 

    This week the focus of our #WakeupWednesday is - What Parents Need to Know About Omegle. Whilst this is blocked at school, we have been notified that some primary aged children in the local Dudley area have viewed inappropriate material on this site at home, so we thought it important to share information.  These sites also offer further information about Omegle:

    Helpful advice for families:

    • Ask your child what websites they are accessing 
    • Check your child’s device history  
    • Ask your child if they are using any live chat apps 
    • Don’t mention Omegle directly as we don’t want to signpost it to the children if they are not aware of it. 
    • If your child tells you that they have been on Omegle – please ask them about it to find out more
    • Check for apps and their age restriction 
    • Look for apps that allow any sort of live chat and remove them from their phone
    • Block Omegle in your security settings on your child’s device

  • Year 1 Design and Technology

    Published 10/10/23

    On Monday, Year One were super busy planning their moving pictures.

    We took a trip outside to see what transport we could hear or see to help us inspire what we can use for our moving pictures. We were very lucky to hear lorries, motorbikes, cars, buses and we even saw a helicopter!

    Back inside, we planned what our moving pictures will look like. They looked wonderful! We can not wait to start making these on Monday.

  • What Parents and Carers Need to Know about YouTube and YouTube Kids

    Published 06/10/23

    We will regularly share free online safety guides provided by National Online Safety (NOS) as this is part of our commitment to keeping all children and families safe online. 

    This week the focus of our #WakeupWednesday is - What Parents Need to Know About YouTube

    YouTube is a popular social media platform that allows users to share media, allowing billions of people around the world to watch. Parents need to be particularly aware of the trends and challenges that form an ever-increasing amount of the content. Some challenges can be seen as safe, however many can leave children vulnerable. For example, one particular trend is the 'Get ready with me' or #GRWM trend, in which users share an outfit/style of dressing, whilst getting dressed in front of the camera. We would encourage all parents to engage in a conversation with their child about their use of technology and monitor their usage. YouTube has an age limit of 13+ as much of the content can be harmful, upsetting or inappropriate. We have also attached a guide to using YouTube Kids and advice for parent to keep their child safe if accessing.

  • Year 1 Visitor

    Published 20/09/23

    Today, Year One had a visit from a volunteer from a local food charity, ‘Manna House’ to talk to the children about the work they do to support food poverty in the local community. This linked into our book, ‘Last Stop on Market Street,’ where CJ and his Nana took the bus to a local soup kitchen to support their community.

    We were super proud of how well Year 1 represented our school and thank you for your generous donations.
