Dear families of Year 4
We have currently been offering Hot Chocolate to children in Years 5 and Year 6 at breaktime on one day a week.
From this Friday we are also offering Hot Chocolate to children in Year 4.
It does need to be ordered in advance, and will cost 30p a cup.
We have set this up as a Club on Arbor, and you can select and pay for any Friday, from 23rd January, until the Easter Holidays. If there is a problem with it going ahead one Friday, we would aim to offer it on another day, or carry your payment forward to the following week.
There is a minimum transaction amount of £1.00 if paying on Arbor, so you will need to book at least 4 dates, or you can send your child into school with the exact cash in an envelope to be given to the office, but this will need to be received by the Thursday before the Hot Chocolate Friday.
If you have any queries, please contact the school office, and we will be happy to help.

Dear Parents and Carers,
We know that many children are excited about creating and sharing content online, and some have begun experimenting with platforms such as YouTube. While creativity and collaboration are wonderful skills to nurture, we also want to remind families of a few important points:
• Age requirements: Most social media platforms, including YouTube, require children to be at least 13 to manage their own accounts. Younger children may only appear on parent-managed channels.
• Online safety: Please talk with your child about not sharing personal details (such as school, location, or full names) and about keeping content kind, respectful, and appropriate.
• Family involvement: If your child is interested in making videos, we recommend doing this together as a family project, with parents guiding what is shared and monitoring comments or interactions.
We will continue to support children in developing digital literacy and responsible online behaviour. Thank you for working with us to keep creativity safe and positive.
Kind regards,
Gemma Sills

Next week, on Monday and Wednesday, Year 4 will be working outside in the pond area with school staff and Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust. Please ensure your child has their wellies in school, has a waterproof coat and brings a spare pair of trousers/shorts with them so they can change if necessary.
