  PSHE - Online communities

  Posted by Mrs J Clarke

  In PSHE, we have been thinking about the positive and negative consequences of being part of an online community. We have been thinking about the hidden risks that might not be obvious and how we can look out for these. We have thought about our right to safety and how sometimes people do not have genuine motives for being part of an online community.

  Cycling workshop

  Posted by Mrs J Clarke

  Today the children took part in a cycling workshop. They learned about what to check on your bike before a ride, to ensure your bike is safe to ride. They then went out and cycled around Berkeley on the road. I was very impressed with all of the children I watched, even those that were a bit apprehensive. Well done year 5!
