  • Internet Safety Day

    Thu 06 Feb 2020 Mrs Shaw

    Safer Internet Day 2020 will be celebrated globally with the theme:

    ‘Together for a better internet’ 

     

    As next week is National internet safety week (10th- 14th February) we are fortunate enough to have another visit from PC Brigginshaw to deliver important internet safety information to the children at GHS. PC Brigginshaw will be holding age appropriate sessions for the different year groups, focusing on specific areas of significance in regards to the children’s safety online.

     

    Topics explored during these sessions will include: making safe and sensible choices online, how to behave online, what to do if something makes you feel uncomfortable online and the use of gaming and social media platforms.

     

    In addition to the sessions with the children, PC Brigginshaw will also be holding a parent/carers   workshop session where he will provide key information on how you as adults can help to keep       children safe online. PC Brigginshaw will be around after the session too if there are any questions or queries you may have or feel you need further support with.

     

    The internet safety sessions will be taking place on the afternoon of Tuesday 11th February 2020. The parent/carer workshop will be held at 3:30pm and will include a variety of useful hints and tips on how to keep children safe when they are online.

     

    Please email the office on office@greathorwoodschool.org to confirm your attendance to the after school session.

    We hope to see you there! 

     

  • 14th February 2020 - RED DOG DAY

    Paint the Town Red with Medical Detection Dogs

    To support our local village charity we will be having a mufti day on  Friday 14th February where we are asking the children to come to school dressed up in red to paint the town red in aid of Medical Detection Dogs.

    The Medical Detections Dogs will be in school on the last day of term where the children will have an opportunity to learn more about what they do.

    The suggested donation for the children to come dressed up is £1.00  but all donations will be gratefully received.

    Let’s paint the town red and show support for our local village charity.

    Thank you to all the parents that came to the maths workshop last week. I hope that you found it informative and useful to look at how we teach maths across the year groups and some of the resources that we use to support the children. The presentation and calculation policy can be found on the school website under the GHS curriculum, maths tab. Thank you to Mrs Webb for leading and to the other teachers for giving up their time to answer all your questions.
