Maisie has written a really good balanced argument using Purple Mash about whether children should be able to use social media. Click here to read what Maisie has said.
Information and support for parents
While the school is closed due to coronavirus, the following links and downloads will allow your child to continue with their learning at home. Some websites may require personal passwords which have already been sent home with your child. If you go on Purple Mash, there will be new 2Dos – don’t forget to read the instructions carefully. If you hand in work on Purple Mash, you’ll get a message from Miss Edwards!
