• #TheWorldReimagined

  Fri 15 Jul 2022 Carly Jackson

  Article 2: Rights apply to everyone; whatever their race religion or abilities, whatever they think or say, whatever type of family they come from.

  Global Goal 16 Peace Justice and Strong Institutions.

   

  The World Reimagined

  This term our Y5 pupils have been taking part in a national educational art project called ‘The World Reimagined’, featuring globally recognised artists, to transform how we understand the transatlantic slave trade and it’s impact on us all.

  The Learning Programme has supported pupils to build the mind sets, attitudes and skills needed to understand racial justice and empower them to overcome divisions, be compassionate and take actions that make racial justice a reality in our society.

  The theme of the project has been ‘Mother Africa’ - a celebration of the cultural richness and diversity of Africa. Pupils have learned about African culture, Adinkra symbols and the Wind rush Generation, with focus on compassion, curiosity, courage, connection and critical thinking. They have discussed what belonging means to them and how this links to their children's rights. 

  As an end result to the project, pupils have created their own Globe filled with handprints, adinkra symbols and messages of belonging, that will feature in the local community as part of The World Reimagined sculpture trails between August and October 2022 (including profiles on The World Reimagined digital platforms) and then returned to the school as a legacy.

   

  Sketty Primary's globe will be on exhibition in The Glynn Vivian Art Gallery.

• New Online Safety website launched for 4-7 year olds CEOP

  Wed 08 Jun 2022 Carly Jackson

  The website is based on the three-episode Jessie & Friends animated series, which aims to equip 4-7 year olds with the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to stay safer online. It is intended to be used by 4-7 year olds alongside their parents and carers.

   

  The new interactive website encourages 4-7s to engage safely online by helping them to recognise worrying, upsetting or scary situations and reinforcing the key message that they should ‘Tell A Grown Up’ in these instances.

   

  The website is divided into sections for 4-5 and 6-7 year olds and features relevant and age-appropriate games for the chosen age bracket. Each game focuses on one of four topics:

  • watching videos
  • chatting online
  • sharing pictures
  • gaming online
  •  

  The Jessie & Friends episodes are also available to watch on the new website to enhance understanding.

   

  Take a look at the new website here

   

   

   

   

  Parents and carers guide

   

  The guide aims to support parents and carers in navigating the website alongside their child. It provides information on the background and purpose of the website, in addition to information about each of the games and conversation starters to use with children. The guide is available for you to download.

   

• NHS - Your Guide to Coughs, Colds, Ear ache and Sore Throats.

  Wed 08 Jun 2022 Carly Jackson

  The following booklet has been shared with us by the School Nursing Service.

   

  Having an ill child can be a very scary experience for parents. If you understand more about the illness it can help you to feel more in control. This booklet is for parents and deals with common infections in children who are normally healthy. It is not meant for children who have ongoing health problems such as asthma, heart, or kidney problems. You should not rely on the advice in this leaflet for children who are less than 3 months old. Babies younger than this can respond differently to infections.
