🎹🎶 Year 2 Music Lesson 🎶🎹

The Year 2 pupils have had an amazing morning learning how to use the keyboards in their music lesson. They enjoyed exploring the different sounds, practising their skills, and learning how to play simple tunes.

It was wonderful to see so much enthusiasm, concentration, and teamwork as the children developed their musical talents. 🌟

Our Reception children have had a fantastic time taking part in some spooky activities!

🎃 The children enjoyed carving pumpkins, exploring the different shapes, textures and smells.

We are so proud of all the enthusiasm, creativity and teamwork shown by the children. Well done, Reception!

Deepfakes can make it appear that someone has said or done something they haven’t, using AI to create increasingly convincing fake images, videos and audio.

As this technology becomes easier to access, children and young people may encounter risks ranging from online bullying and impersonation to scams and fabricated explicit content.

Our latest guide explores:
• AI-enabled bullying
• Cloned voices and fake family scams
• Bogus celebrity endorsements
• Fabricated images and videos
• Extortion and digital blackmail

It also offers practical advice for parents and educators on recognising warning signs, protecting personal information and talking to young people about responsible AI use.

Today, our Year 3 pupils took part in a Hockey Festival at Queen Elizabeth High School. The festival provided the children with an excellent opportunity to develop their hockey skills through a range of fun activities and games.

As well as improving their physical hockey skills, the event focused on developing important personal qualities such as confidence, teamwork, communication, resilience and sportsmanship. Throughout the day, pupils were encouraged to work together, challenge themselves, support one another and enjoy being active.

The children represented the school brilliantly, showing great enthusiasm, determination and respect. It was wonderful to see everyone having fun whilst learning new skills and building their confidence. Well done, Year 3!
