This morning Year 6 have taken part in a Safe Squad workshop where they have explored different ways of staying safe and the dangers of the modern world. 

They have observed a range of scenarios and discussed the best way in which to deal with these situations whilst keeping themselves and others safe. The children also developed their skills of using CPR, learning how to do this effectively.

Year 6 demonstrated a brilliant mature attitude and were fantastic ambassadors for Our Ladys.

Well done Year 6!

On Tuesday we celebrated safer internet day and we have all been discussing how technology has changed through time. Each class came up with some fantastic suggestions on how we an continue to improve technology over the next 20 years whilst still keeping ourselves safe.

Today Year 3 have been exploring how we can keep ourselves safe when using the internet.

This year's safer internet day theme is:
"Want to talk about it? Making space for conversations about life online"

Year 3 have discussed the importance of talking with trusted adults about things that we may see or experienced online that have upset us or we're not too sure about.

It is important to be able to have these conversations as our adults can help to solve any problems and make us feel better.

We completed an activity looking at different things we have done using the internet and discussing what age we first started doing these activities, some of them we were still too young for!

This week is Children's Mental Health Week. 

In Year 5 we discussed what mental health and how different things can effect our mental health, before looking at the theme for this year's mental health week, which is Let's Connect.

We talked about the different ways we can connect with one another and how these connections can be good for our mental health.

In addition to this, on Tuesday it was Safer Internet Day. The theme for this years event was Want to Talk About It?
The children explored how we use the internet to contact others through social media and apps. We then looked at messages that could be sent through the internet and whether or not these were appropriate or not. The children demonstrated a mature attitude and really delved into how they would feel in that situation, which was great to see!

Also, please take a look at our Special Mentions from last Friday's Assembly!

Well done Year 5!

Year Two enjoyed reading a book called 'Hanni and the Magic Window' and discussed what we should do when we see something on the internet that upsets us. 

Year Two also have 'Safer Internet Day' reading comprehension homework to increase their understanding of how to keep safe.
