Today in class 9 we have been looking at how we can stay safe online and why it is so important we do.

The children completed a quiz to see how many of the logos they recognise and got most of these correct. They know that some of these games were not appropriate to them because of the age limit and they understood the importance of being safe while playing games. They realised that being safe on the internet is not just how or who you play games with but also using the internet to research things and chat to our friends. We must always be mindful of the web and know who to speak to i.e. a trusted adult if something happens.

During our expedition last week class 9 became scientists and conducted an experiment to see how light travels.

They used all the cardboard boxes they brought in to cut out 3 squares the same size. Then then put a hole through the middle of all 3 pieces and strung a piece of string through this.

In their groups they positioned this to see if they could see the light travel through each hole of the squares to reach the eye.

The children were able to prove that light travels in straight lines and when the squares and holes were lined up correctly you could see the light travel straight through.

It was a very exciting lesson and the results were fantastic.

Class 9 looked amazing for children in need and the effort they put into their outfits was incredible – just look how colourful they all were and how great their silly faces are.

It was wonderful to have the big talk ladies in to speak to class 9 a few weeks ago. During their time with us we shared a 2 minute silence to remember and honour those from the war on the 11th November. Class 9 you made me so proud for how grown up you were during all of this.
