The children were then paired up and tasked with writing their own blog post on a topic of their choice, applying what they learned about creating a successful blog.

Year 3- Online Safety- Navigating ipads
Today in class, we discussed Apple iPads and some important considerations for children's use, such as screen time, privacy, and appropriate content. It was great to hear children contributing and discussing about their own restricted times and how much screen time they're allowed. For those who don't have time limits, we talked about the importance of managing screen time for good mental health and well-being. Remember, excessive screen time can affect emotions and behaviour, and tools like Downtime and App Limits can help manage this.
Year 5 - LBQ
Today in Year 5, the children took part in an interactive LBQ (Learning by Questions) session, where they focused on converting between centimetres and metres and vice versa. This engaging activity allowed them to practise their understanding of measurement in a fun and responsive way, receiving instant feedback to help correct misconceptions and deepen their learning. The children revised the relationship between centimetres and metres (100 cm = 1 m) and applied this knowledge to solve a range of problems, including word problems, reasoning challenges and real-life measurement scenarios. They demonstrated increasing confidence in switching between units, identifying when to multiply or divide by 100 depending on the direction of conversion.
