IMPORTANT NOTICE

Apple AirTag and tracking children on school trips

It has been brought to our attention both locally and nationally that parents/carers are using devices such as the Apple AirTag to track children on school residentials/trips/visits/outings. Other devices can also include electronic watches that are essentially tracking devices with the capability of sending video footage from the device back to the person tracking i.e. parent. Such devices have the potential to post locations of children’s whereabouts on social media. We are therefore advising schools to include this in the consent slip which parents sign prior to taking part in a trip that such devices will not be allowed under any circumstances and must not be hidden in pockets/bags etc. If any tracking devices are found on pupils they will not be allowed on the trip and will be returned to school.

Apple have released the statement below which can be found on their website:

“AirTag was designed to help people locate their personal belongings, not to track people or another person’s property, and we condemn in the strongest possible terms any malicious use of our products”

ALLERGY AWARE SCHOOL

We are an allergy aware school.

Nuts are prohibited on school site, and should not be put in children's packed lunches or brought in as a playtime snack.

Including school trips and events.

CLOTHES RECYCLING

New Clothes Recycling Bin – Support Our School!

We’re excited to share that a new clothes recycling bin has been installed on the school grounds! This is a fantastic opportunity for our community to come together, reduce waste, and support the school at the same time.

We encourage families to donate any unwanted clothing and shoes. Every item collected helps to raise valuable funds that go directly back into supporting school activities, resources, and opportunities for our children.

By using the recycling bin, you’re not only helping the environment by giving items a second life, but also contributing to the continued growth and success of our school.

Thank you for your ongoing support — every bag makes a difference!

WHAT'S COOKING?

What's Cooking?

This week I have finished working with Team Ouse. They have been making healthy sandwiches. We have particularly focussed on what makes a healthy sandwich and the children have been introduced to what food group each food item belongs to (protein, dairy, carbohydrate, fruit/vegetable, spreads/oils). We have also looked at whether our food comes from a plant or an animal and had a discussion about where bread comes from.

The children have had the opportunity to use new skills including spreading and cutting. They then had the opportunity to eat their sandwich whilst listening to the story of The Tiger Who Came to Tea. Well done to all of the children this week, they have all worked so hard and their sandwiches looked delicious!

Next week I will start working with children in Team Nidd. They are going to be making 'Supercrunch'. I will also continue to work with children in After School Club to build our garden area outside Cook School. They have been working hard in preparing the area and we will finally be able to start planting flower seeds and some fruit and vegetables.
