Smartphone Free Childhood

This ‘Smartphone Free Childhood’ project aims to draw attention to the negative effects that smartphones and social media can have on children. One of the difficulties of reducing phone use is the use of smart phones within a child’s peer group. The research shows the problems that can come with smartphone use such as access to harmful content, addiction, academic distraction, cyberbullying and mental illness.
The Smartphone Free Childhood projects asks parents to “pledge” to a smartphone free childhood for their children.

School has felt very autumnal this week as the colder and wetter weather has drawn in!  Please ensure your child has a waterproof coat every day in school and appropriate footwear for the wet weather.

We have had our Year 4 parents in school hearing about our Liverpool residential in June next year.  The powerpoint shared with parents will be put onto Class Dojo and shared on the Maple class page on the website.

A group of Year 5 and 6 children enjoyed a trip today to the Shrewsbury Club organised by Shropshire Tennis.  They all behaved impeccably and had a wonderful time doing some tennis activities, having a Q&A session with some professional players, and watching the W100 quarter final games.

Firstly, a huge thank you again for so many of you joining us at our Harvest Service this morning.  We were able to take a huge number of donations to the Shrewsbury Food Bank thanks to your generosity and we are very grateful for all of your support.

As the colder weather draws in, please ensure your child is suitably equipped for cold playtimes with a coat, and hat and gloves if necessary.  We are very much hoping the sunshine stays out for our Gardening Day tomorrow.! Please join anytime from 9am for as long as you are able to.

If we don’t see you tomorrow, have a lovely weekend.

Mrs Mavin
