• Keeping your child safe online

  Mon 22 May 2017

  Do you know what your child is doing online?

  As the half-term break is fast approaching children might be spending a little more time on-line. 

  Things you can do to keep your child safe online:

  • check your parental controls on your PC to stop then accessing inappropriate material;
  • accessing games on a console or tablet? Here's how to set parental controls: Ask About Games
  • have a conversation, discuss sites and apps together, talk about any concerns they may have;
  • talk about personal information and what not to share online;
  • is your child accessing social networks? Most of these have an age limit of 13+, check the content and age limits of what they are accessing here: NetAware
  • Is your child playing computer games, check the age limit here: Netaware

  Some concerning reports have been in the media recently about the following online apps and challenges linked to social media:

  • Blue Whale Challenge
  • Sayat.me 

  The NSPCC website  provides further resources and links on how to keep your child safe online.  Live My Digital, is an educational site aimed at families. The site has links to a video series which covers the following online safety themes:

  • Cyberbullying
  • The digital footprint
  • Identity and self-esteem
  • Relationships and grooming
  • Security and privacy
  • Sexting

• International links at Fielding

  Fielding pupils connect classrooms with with the wider world

  Throughout the year, children across the school have been connecting with classrooms around the world to share their learning and to compare and contract different ways of life. 

  • As part of their Transport topic, Year 1 have linked up with Kemla Nehru Public School (KNPS) school in Punjab to compare and contrast the modes of transport they use to travel to school.
  • Year 4 have linked up with Ombrasa Multilingual School in Lyon to compare and contrast our lunchtime experiences, with a focus on our playgrounds and our school lunches.
  • As part of their 'What's so special about the USA' project, Year 5 have linked up with Heritage K-8 Charter School in Escondido, California . Pupils have been comparing and contrasting their local environment, climate and culture to see how this can influence the way they spend their free time.
  • The Year 5/6 French club have linked up with Collège Jean-Louis Etienne, in Mazamet to compare and contrast daily school life.

  Please visit our Around the World page to enjoy the amazing videos, messages, letters and drawings that our pupils are exchanging with their international peers.

• CHOIR PARENTS - help wanted

  Fri 12 May 2017 Michael Mappin

  Choir is rehearsing at St Barnabas on Wednesday 24th May.  I'd like three parent volunteers to come on this trip, or at least to help supervise the travelling.  You'd have to be at school at 8:50, then travel on the bus (E2) to Pitshanger Lane.  You could have as much free time during the day as you want (there are some nice cafes on Pitshanger) then accompany us back to school at about 2:15.  Please email mmappin.307@lgflmail.org or phone school on 020 8567 9524.

  Many thanks
