This week in 6CP we have been out in our sets, we have three sets three or English and three for maths.  On Monday in English we were writing letters to chalky from the book blitz boys. In maths we were revising long multiplication. When it was Wednesday afternoon we made our way to our local library to look at what the Bata shoe factory and East Tilbury looked like back in the day. After 45 minutes we left the library and returned back to our school to work on Mathletics and Bug Club (Active Learn Primary). When we had finished working on Mathletics we collected any certificates that we might have earned. Then it came to Thursday, and we started doing our sets again. During our sets we planned a letter from Winston Churchill to Adolf Hitler trying to prevent the war. In our maths sets we revised a little bit more of our long multiplication, as some people found it a little bit difficult. It’s now Friday and we have been doing sets in our own classes it was really fun. In math we had some old SATS papers to complete in 50 minutes if we didn’t it did not matter. Next we have P.E and we are doing gymnastics. Thank you for reading our blog.

​This week year 3 have had the opportunity to get involved in the Trailblazer Project. Each class had a focused workshop which ran across a whole day to guide them with their creation of their own ‘Wild Thing’. Using a variety of different materials, each child had a finished project with which they then incorporated into a storytelling session.

​It is an anniversary that may have passed by with little fanfare but Google officially turned 18 years old in September.  Nobody is quite sure about which day, the official response from the internet search giant has been that "the exact date when we celebrate our birthday has moved around over the years, depending on when people feel like having cake."

Starting life as the research project of two PhD students, it is fair to say that Google has transformed the way that  we interact with technology from internet searches to smartphones.  Those of us who have grown up in the interent age probably have search engines like Google to thank for aiding our studies, entertainment or consumer choices.

However, whilst we encourage childrens interest, utilisation of and creativity with computing, it is worthwhile reminding ourselves about some basic e-safety.  Children and young people need to know who they can tell when things go wrong.  For some top tips on how to safely search online click on to www.kidsmart.org.uk/safesearching.
