Safer Internet Day 20162016

MMaatitilldda a tthhe e MMuussiiccaall Miss Chambers would like to thank the children who won the Matilda competition for their fantastic persuasive letters and furthermore for their behaviour on the trip on Wednesday. They represented Bell Lane exceptionally well. We had a fantastic time at the theatre!

Golfing LessonsGolfing Lessons Year 6 have been lucky enough to have some special golfing lessons. We had to try and get the balls through different holes, using as much control as possible. Also, we had to hit the ball and try and get it on the bulls eye.

Please visit http://www.saferinternet.org.uk/safer-internet-day/2016 for more information and to find out more about what you can do at home to keep your children extra safe when they are using the internet.

Banned SmartwatchesBanned Smartwatches We are very keen that all children should wear a watch in school. These can be analogue or digital watches. However ‘smart’ watches which contain a camera are completely unacceptable in school. The taking of photographs in school is covered by our safeguarding procedures and the risk of photos being taken of people who have not given consent is not acceptable during the school day. Please ensure they are not brought into school.
