The children in year three have been learning what is meant by a ‘digital footprint’ and how data about their internet activity is collected passively without them actively authorising this and how this compares with their active digital footprint. 
They have discussed how everything shared on the internet can be found, shared, broadcast and copied and that it lasts forever. Please discuss this with your child and support them in keeping a diary of their family digital footprint at home.

Year 3 - World Book Week

Year 3 loved celebrating World Book day all last week with the Dr Seuss classic 'The Lorax'. During the week year 3 enjoyed looking at why the Lorax was so devastated with the Once-ler cutting down his trees. The concerned children decided to become the Lorax and 'speak for the trees!' and clearly spread the message that trees are vital to our living through leaflet writing, collage and setting descriptions.

To top of the fantastic week, all the children and adults dressed up on Friday. The children looked fantastic and enjoyed a Dr Seuss filled day. 

Year 3 - Library trip

Last week, Year 3 enjoyed a windy walk to Hilldene library. The excited children were given the opportunity to explore the library and learn about all the different services they provide. The adults on the trip were extremely proud of the children's exceptional behaviour to and in the library!

Year 3 Online Safety - We are Digital Friends!

The year three children have been learning to understand what is meant by online bullying and its consequences. They have discussed how and where online bullying can occur and the role of the bystander. They have thought about the consequences of online bullying for the victim and the perpetrator and how information shared online cannot always be controlled.

Please discuss this with your child at home and how they should respond if they were being bullied online.

Year 3 and 4 Online Safety Rules

This half term the year three and four children have been reviewing, discussing and editing the Online Safety Rules that they wrote last year. They have discussed and recalled their learning from last year and updated their rules. They will be bringing home a copy of them to share with parents and carers. Please display them in a prominent place at home and discuss how they have changed with your child.
