Online Safety Information Session

Parents and Carers are invited to attend an online safety session on Wednesday 29th January, 9.30 – 10.15am. The session is online and will cover the following:

 

  • Current trends – what children are doing online and what apps/games are popular amongst children
  • Understanding the risks – a look at the risks associated with using technology and what you can do to support your child with their online lives
  • Further support – signposting to services that are available to help you.

 

I will send out the link you will need to attend this as soon as I receive it.

 

Falcons’ Class Assembly

Our Falcons’ class will be leading our assembly on Wednesday 22nd January. All parents and carers of children in the Falcons’ class are very welcome to come and join us. It starts at 8.40am.

Bring a Toy to School Day

Merciful Giving would like to invite parents and carers again to take part in their ‘Bring a toy to school day’ campaign to provide gifts and toys to children in hospital. Last year’s campaign resulted in over 5000 gifts/toys being donated to local hospitals.

 

Merciful Giving are asking that parents and carers consider sending in a brand-new toy/gift by the 28th February and the volunteers from the Merciful Giving team will arrange to collect and distribute before Eid (the end of March). 


Toys/gifts must be brand new and in the original packaging – not gift wrapped. Ideas for gifts/toys include sensory toys, books, board games, arts & craft sets, jigsaws and puzzles, comics or notebooks. Please do not send in any weapon toys (toy guns etc) or any second-hand items.

 

Merciful Giving is a registered charity that aims to put a smile on the face of every child no matter what background they come from.
