We enjoyed an assembly, complete with a safer internet video, courtesy of the Smart Crew.

We talked about the differences between us and our parents, when it comes to internet use and discussed who knows most and who to go to if we need support.

We thought about our top 3 websites to visit and recorded our ‘digital footprint’ which we’ve displayed around the hall.

We played SMART board games, which really made us think about different situations we may come across on the internet and what to do about them.

Each class then had a ‘task’. Prep 1 recorded a ‘rap’ of how to stay safe online, Prep 2 designed and made Safer Internet Day posters, Prep 3 prepared an assembly and Prep 4 wrote and acted out online scenarios.

On Friday we thought about the theme: ‘Connecting Generations’ so we invited our parents to come and share a special assembly that we had prepared for them, based on our learning from Tuesday.

From the Think You Know website:

Then we walked through Sheffield to the Fire Station where we looked inside a real fire engine and all had a go at using the water hose.

We had to leave early though due to a real fire alarm going off and all the firemen having to leave to see a real emergency.  It was very exciting!

Three of our Prep 4 (Year 6) pupils have achieved scholarships in their recent entrance exam to Sheffield High School.

Mia  (Head Girl) and Alice have both been awarded academic Scholarships and fellow pupil Pippa has achieved a Music scholarship.

‘Ashdell girls always work exceptionally hard in preparation for their entrance exams. We are delighted and very proud of the fact that this year we have three girls who have achieved scholarships. They are a credit to the school, well done girls!

We went to see a performance of Igor, the Bird Who Couldn’t Sing.

We listened, we sang, we clapped and we made paper aeroplanes!
