Blue - Foundation
Welcome to Blue Class
Our topic is 'Up and Under’
Fire Safety 🚒
We had a fantastic session with the Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue team. The children learnt how to keep themselves safe and what they should do, should there ever be a fire in their home. It was a fun and interactive session, and they loved it!

Online safety with Karl Hopwood
Mr. Hopwood found out that we know lots of things we can use a mobile ‘phone for!
He told us about the light of the screen that tells our brain to stay awake, so we shouldn’t be on our screens just before sleep.
He showed us pictures he had found on the internet of people we know - even of us and our teachers on our school website, and talked gently about how careful we need to be to keep ourselves safe. We heard a children’s story book about a tale of internet friendship and identity.
At the end he shared four safe rules with us:
1. People you don’t know are strangers, and not always who they say they are
2. Be nice to people on the computer like you would in the playground
3. Keep personal information private
4. If you ever get that uh-oh feeling, tell a grown-up you can trust
It was an engaging session with lots of participation from the children. :)
