What is Safer Internet Day? Safer Internet Day is a global initiative celebrated annually to raise awareness about the importance of a safer and more responsible use of online technology, especially among children and young people. The overarching theme of Safer Internet Day is "Together for a Better Internet," emphasising the collective effort needed to create a positive online environment. Our commitment to Online Safety At Pinner Park Primary School we recognise the integral role technology plays in education and daily life. As part of our commitment to the well-being of our students, we will be hosting a series of activities and discussions focused on online safety throughout the week. From interactive workshops to informative presentations, our goal is to equip our students with the knowledge and skills to navigate the online world safely. Parental Involvement We believe that a collaborative approach involving parents, teachers, and children is crucial for effective online safety education. We encourage parents to engage in conversations with their children about their online experiences, establish guidelines for internet use at home, and stay informed about the latest digital trends. We hope that the following information will be useful to parents.
Schools in Harrow have joined with partners across the Borough to create the Fit4Life Harrow project.
Date tells us that children in Harrow are not performing well in terms of their health and fitness. The latest figures show that pupils coming into our Reception classes in Harrow are, on average, at 19% overweight or obese and then they are leaving our Primary Schools in Y6 with an average of 38% overweight or obese. Harrow children also have very high levels of tooth decay. 42.4% of children at the age of 5 have decayed or missing teeth. Harrow also has high levels of Type 2 Diabetes. Harrow Fit4Life has devised a School Charter which sets out the ambition for schools and parents working together. We'll be sharing much more information over the coming weeks and months and we'll be displaying the charter in the school. In the meantime, we would urge every family to take a look at the charter and to commit to being a charter family. Here are the family pledges:
The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has written to all London schools today to confirm that the Universal Free School Meals programme is being extended for another school year (until July 2025). This is excellent news, meaning that all our children who attend a state funded school in London will continue to receive a healthy, nutritious meal every day, so that no child goes hungry in the classroom, and all pupils can better concentrate on their studies. Even though your child is receiving their free school meals automatically, it is still vitally important – if you have not done so already – to complete the short registration form in case your child is eligible for extra funding for their school from the Government, worth over £1,300 per year. That’s more money for extracurricular activities, teacher development and support for children who need it most. This will ensure you’ll also receive any other benefits you may be entitled to, like food vouchers during the holidays. You can complete the form here: https://pps.lgfl.org.uk/ Sadiq Khan has written to all parents and you can read the letter here:
There was a good deal of commotion in the Bethlehem stable when the animals realised that there was a baby in the barn! The cows, sheep, pigs, cat and cockerel all learned about their special guest from the donkey that brought the baby along, as well as the guests that followed. Our Year 1 children told the story of Christmas so brilliantly, through acting, singing and dancing. Great job! As part of their learning in history, Year 2 children had a visit from Mary Seacole this week. Mary Seacole was British-Jamaican, born in 1805. Her mother was a free Jamaican, her father a soldier in the British Army. Mary grew up in her mother’s hotel in Jamaica. Mary had a lot of experience caring for sick British soldiers because so many of them were based in the West Indies. One of the worst diseases in the Caribbean was cholera, which killed thousands of people. She used her medical knowledge and looked after the wounded from the battlefield. At Pinner Park we use high-quality children's literature as the primary approach to the teaching of English. The books we choose help children to grow ideas and expand their minds. When we introduce a new text to the children, we try and make it as engaging at possible. The photos show some examples from recent book launches. Year 3 shared a wonderful Autumn Assembly with their parents and the school. The assembly included classic literature, moments of reflection, songs, dance and poetry. covering many aspects of Autumn including Diwali and the Gunpowder Plot. |
