What's Cooking?

This week I have continued working with children from Team Swale.  They have all been making 'Supercrunch'  - a cold pudding or breakfast food using fruit, yoghurt, honey and cereal.  They have had the opportunity to learn about different fruits and where they come from.  They have also learnt about where their food comes from (plant or animal) with a particular focus on milk, wheat and bees.   The children were also introduced to using a safety knife and cut their own fruit up.  They all have done an amazing job and showed such determination in creating their 'rainbow' in a cup.  

I will soon be working with Team Loxley, Calder and Humber.  I have lots of exciting things lined up for them but firstly, we will be travelling to Greece to make a very popular salad.  More will be revealed soon.  In the meantime, I hope the children enjoy their week off.

We are aware of a viral trend circulating online where children are encouraged to heat soft “squishy” toys (sometimes called NeeDoh or jelly cube toys) in a microwave.

This is extremely dangerous. When heated, these toys can burst and release hot contents, which may cause serious burns to the hands, face and skin.

What you can do:

• Talk to your child about the risks of copying online challenges or trends

• Remind them that not everything seen online is safe or accurate

• Ensure squishy toys or similar items are never heated or microwaved

• Encourage your child to come to you if they see something online that concerns them

If you would like more information and practical advice, please see the safeguarding alert here: SAFEGUARDING ALERT: Viral Trend Risks Causing Severe Burns to Children - Ineqe Safeguarding Group

⚠️ Half Term Safety Reminder ⚠️

As the weather is expected to improve over the Half Term break, we would like to remind families about the dangers of swimming or bathing in lakes, ponds, reservoirs, and other open water areas.

Although the water may look safe and inviting, open water can be extremely dangerous. Hidden hazards, cold water temperatures, strong currents, and deep mud can quickly put lives at risk. We ask all parents and carers to speak to their children about staying safe and avoiding swimming in unauthorised areas.

We would also like to remind everyone about the importance of safe and considerate parking around the school grounds. Please avoid parking on pavements, blocking driveways, stopping near crossings, or parking in restricted areas. Unsafe parking can put children and families at risk, particularly during busy drop-off and collection times.

Thank you for helping us to keep our school community safe.
