We had lots of activities involving technology going on across the Federation.
Parents updated through posts on website and text messages with the links on.

We used lots of technology today for Safer Internet day. Our favourite was the microphone that made our voices much louder and sound funny We! We also learnt that we have to tell an adult if you see something on a tablet or device that we don't like.

Internet Safety Day -
Sharing the new tablet with our special grown ups in our class. We encourage the use of tablets and laptops to learn about different things that interest the children. We talk about them being explored alongside a grown up to stay safe online.

This has been completed. An action plan gets produced and I am looking at making changes to make improvements. We have achieved the Essential level in all areas, so no major panics!

Classes now post directly onti Instagram (following guidlines) there is a reasonable amout of activity on both. Some classes are more active than others.

All childrens permissions are in. I checked these with Middle leaders at our meeting. Any new children that do not have permissions have been noted.

I have alined the 2 websites so that they reflect each other more closely. This includes the main menus and the pages that each site has.

There have been some major changes to the SEN sections of both websites. Michelle has looked at other school's sites and wrote text to reflect her findings. I have changed all the pages, reducing the number of individual pages on the menu and linked the information through buttons at the bottom of the pages.

We have now got a new front page on both websites that have a welcome to the Federation Blub and links to the sister school.

Chinese New Year 2023

The children got involved with many cultural traditions, we tried Chinese food (stir fry, noodles, prawn crackers, spring rolls), danced like a dragon, did Chinese yoga and Claire told us a story that we acted out.

Some children even showed of their skills by using the chopsticks to pick up their food and eat it.

We explored the chopsticks for Chinese New Year. We used the chopsticks to pickup the noodles and crackers and to make makers in the rice. We looked at the pictures in Chinese books, we looked at the different clothes and food they get in China.

Job page has a live link to my new term so no need to keep updating it. There is a button that takes you directly to the RICCHER Federation job page - rather than the my new term homepage.

Governor page does not have the required information on it. I have sent emails to Nina the chair and Michelle the Clerk informing them of the missing information.
