500 Words
Hopefully the children have lots of ideas for stories to write for the 500
Words competition that they have been discussing over the past
couple of weeks. The competition closes in the week after half term,
so some ideal revision (for those taking exams) and great practise for
those who are looking for a writing activity, would be to write a short
story to enter into the competition! All the details are online at:
www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00rfvk1 including the online submission
form and consent details.
When children enter a story, please could they print out a copy for Mrs
Beach, or email one to her at sbeach@tockingtonmanorschool.com.
She would love to read them all!

costume, bringing the book that the character is in. During assembly we can all enjoy
looking at the range of characters that have come to school!

Friday 3rd March Travelling Books book fair comes to school. Brochures highlighting some of the books
available will be coming home after half term. Each child will also have a 1 World Book Day voucher to
spend. The book fair will be in school for a week and available for children at the end of each day. Children
should be taken to the book fair with their parents. Boarders will have the opportunity of shopping at the fair
when Mrs Beach will supervise their purchases!

Books by Hannah Shaw and Sibal Pounder will only be available on the days that they are in school.
Any children wishing to buy their books (and have them signed) should bring in cash in a named purse or
envelope. In Lower School this money should be given to the form teacher for safe keeping.

E-SAFETY ASSEMBLY
For Safer Internet Day 2017, Year 6 took an assembly on the dangers associated with the
internet and gave us some important messages to remember and follow.

Showcasing the work they had produced during their lessons, the Year 6 class acted out a
game show going over the do's and don'ts of:

Social networking
Online Gaming
Uploading video or any personal info
Email

We then watched a short video which highlighted the dangers of social media and the
compromising positions children can very easily land themselves in when using social media.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_o8auwnJtqE

We highlighted the need to look closely at privacy settings, report any abuse or suspicious
activity, and think very careful before posting anything to any social media sites.
