• Eco Action - Saving Water!

  Wed 27 Apr 2016 K Cartwright

  On Wednesday 27th April we had some visitors from Thames Water who came to work with our KS2 children.

  They come from a project called Eco Action which looks at ways that we can all save water.  Children learnt about turning off taps while washing teeth, having baths instead of showers and only putting the 3Ps down the toilet.  (If you're not sure what these are, just ask a child!)

  We are also being assessed by someone from Thames Water who will be able to make suggestions about how we, as a school, can save water and money in school.

  After an exciting assembly, the school council worked with Lydia and Paula to learn some water saving games.  We played water saving Twister, water saving snakes and ladders, bingo and Top Trumps. These games are ours to keep and the school councillors will be out in the playground teaching the rest of the school and sharing the water saving tips.

  A big thank you to Ali from Palm class whose Mum put us in touch with this exciting project.

   

   

  

• E-Safety workshop 16th May

  Wed 13 Apr 2016 E Newton

  As you will know, the safety of your children whilst on the internet is of the upmost importance and something that we take extremely seriously at Elfrida school.

  I was recently invited to an e safety  presentation at another school and I was so shocked by what I learned that I booked the presenter on the spot to come into school to work with our children, the staff and YOU!

  Internet safety and the issues related to this, are constantly changing and it is vital that we, as adults try to keep up to date, in order to protect our children as they develop their skills and independence in the on-line world.

  However busy you are, whatever you normally do on a Monday morning, I urge you to save this date and attend the training, for the sake of your children. Every term, I meet with families who have had problems at home, with their children accessing inappropriate sites, or getting embroiled in cyber bullying. It is our joint responsibility to educate ourselves and our children about the dangers that they face and you can do this by taking the time out of your schedule, to attend on Monday, May 16th at 9am. Put it in your diaries now!

  I look forward to seeing you all on the 16th May
