E-Safety Concerns

27th November 2020Kathryn Charlton

Dear Parents and Carers,

 

It has come to our attention that there are currently some video clips circulating the internet and specific sites such as ‘Tik Tok’ that are unsuitable for children and young people to view. If any pupils have seen anything that has upset them, they can speak to their teachers in school, our designated Safeguarding Team – Mrs Cook and Mrs Williams or our Computing Coordinator – Miss Charlton.

 

It has also come to our attention that some children and young people are accessing age inappropriate games and apps. We advise parents and carers to take note of the PEGI rating shown on games and apps. The PEGI rating gives an indication of age related content. Sometimes a game or app can look fun, but with a PEGI rating of 18+, it should not be accessed by any child or young person below this age.

 

Finally, the release of the PlayStation 5 has also raised some safety issues. Please refer to guidance provided by National Online Safety if you have any concerns: https://nationalsafety.com/

Alternatively, you can speak to a member of staff in school.

 

 

Harvesting Beetroot

30th September 2020Ashleigh Rutherford
How exciting! This week in Year 1 and Year 1/2, we have started to learn about Autumn and what the word ‘Harvest’ means… so we put the word into action and ‘harvested’ our very own, school grown beetroots. The seeds were planted in the Spring time and today was the day to harvest our crop.
Tomorrow we are writing instructions about how to harvest beetroot.

Remote Learning

14th September 2020Kathryn Charlton
Good morning year 1 and year 1/2!
Miss Rutherford and myself are already missing all of you and we cannot wait to get back to school!

Today, we begin our remote learning journey, therefore, it would be helpful if you could set up your child’s Google Classroom account. I will be uploading a video that shows you how to access GSuite for Education from home for the first time alongside written instructions.
Here are the written instructions:
  • First, log out of any other Google Accounts on the device that your child is going to be using for their learning. This means that they can easily access GSuite for Education and all of their school Google apps.
  • (If you are still having problems, please open an ‘incognito tab’, this will stop the other Google Accounts from logging in automatically).
  • Next, click the green log in button at the top right of the screen on our school website (www.forestview.uk.com).
  • Enter your child’s username and password.
  • If you do not know what their username and password is, please send me an email at [email protected] to confirm their details.
  • Next, click on the icon for Google Classroom, the old fashioned chalkboard icon.
  • Finally, they will be asked to ‘Join’ their class, either Year 1KC or Year 1/2AR.
  • Once they have joined their class, you will be able to see messages from their teacher on the ‘Stream’ page and work set by their teacher on the ‘Classwork’ page. Each assignment will have instructions provided, but if you have issues with any activities, please do let us know.

 

Please do let me know if you are having any problems and I will do my utmost to help you from home.
Stay safe everyone,
Miss Charlton

Julia Donaldson

20th March 2020Ashleigh Rutherford

A couple of weeks ago, every child in Year 1/2 wrote a letter to Julia Donaldson telling her how much we loved her stories and asked her some questions. She sent back a signed reply addressed to the children. How exciting!
