Well done Year 6
A huge well done to Year 6 this week who have worked so hard on their SATs tests. Their attitude this week has been amazing and they should all feel really proud of themselves. A reminder to all though that:
SATs don't measure sports
SATs don't measure art.
SATs don't measure music,
Or the kindness in your heart.

Online safety resource for younger children
Sometimes it's hard to know how to approach online safety with younger children. Jessie and Friends is a great resource that parents and carers can use to engage with younger children about worrying or frightening situations online. When children answer a question correctly they earn a star and can download a certificate to colour in.

Mental health matters - apps to help
Although this week has been mental health awareness week, helping children manage their health and wellbeing is a top priority all year round. Nothing can beat getting out in the fresh air, meeting friends and having fun, but some children may find apps useful for things such as learning about emotions, managing anxiety etc. There are thousands of these types of apps, but, to help, we have put together a list which gives details such as: suitable ages, purpose, how the app works and (where applicable) the cost.
