Rafael in 3B created a wonderful piece of art this weekend on A3 absorbent paper using paint and other materials. It is inspired by the book 'Iron Man' by Ted Hughes, which we are reading in class.

For many parents and carers, finding out that their child is playing a game designed for older children can be a worry. You might be concerned about what they are seeing or hearing in the game or about the behaviour of other players.

Childnet takes a closer look at the ratings in games, gives you practical ways to respond to your child and signpost places to find alternative games that are more appropriate in their blog post 'Help - my child wants to play games that are too old for them'.

Home or Out Alone Parent/Carer Guide

This guide provides practical tips and advice to help parents and carers decide what is best for their child when it comes to staying home alone or going out alone.

It covers some of the risks parents should consider before making a decision, such as how their child feels about the idea and who they should contact in an emergency.

There is also a checklist for parents and children to work through together to help them prepare for different types of scenarios. This includes questions about what to do if there is an accident at home or they are approached by a stranger outside.
