Getting the balance right

Children learnt how important it is to get the balance right between screen time and keeping off screens! Did you know too much screen time can cause headaches and affects people's moods? Year 3 designed posters to encourage people to get a balance and not spend too long on screens.

Broadbent Fold watched a live online assembly today 7th February 2023- An Internet Legends Assembly. Children were encouraged to used their critical thinking skills when online.Remember 'Be kind online' and make time to have conversations about being online.

What type of password is a strong password to use? What should you do if you see something unkind online? 

This week children are taking part in lessons about online safety.

The theme for 2023 is, 'Want to talk about it? Making space for conversations about life online'.

Big Battery Hunt

The Eco leaders have given out boxes to children in their class so that they can collect batteries for recycling.  If your child did not bring a box home the used batteries can be brought into school in a plastic bag. The bags and boxes can be handed to the eco leaders in your child's class and they will bring them to me.  We are only collecting these used batteries: AAA  AA  C  D  The batteries that we collect will be recycled to make new batteries, used in the construction industry and they can even be made into fertilizer!  Please don't throw your old batteries away.  Ov
