Serious safety concerns have been raised about Snapchat's latest update which can reveal a user's exact location on a map.

Snapchat is one of the top five social media platforms used by children and young people.

The feature known as Snap Map is part of the latest update and shares a user's exact location on a map, the time of day they were there and their speed of travel.

We strongly recommend that if you have this app then you go into the settings and select Ghost Mode, which means that you are the only person who can see your location on the map.

Farewell

On Tuesday, 18th July the fire service will be coming into school to give a talk to pupils in years 3-6. This is to ensure all children keep themselves safe during the summer holiday.

We would like to say farewell to Mr Wilsdon after 15 happy years at Revoe. We wish him all the best for the future.

Year 2

Children’s University.

Last week Year 2 worked with a diving instructor. They enjoyed trying out different equipment and even practising using some of the cave diving equipment in a cave we set up in the classroom. This week the children have used their knowledge to produce information booklets all about SCUBA diving, different fish and their habitats.

For their homework 2KD created their own marine creature.

The children in Nursery 1 have enjoyed their 30 Days Wild project so much they have decided to continue learning about and exploring nature for the rest of the summer term.

This week we have been finding out how to look after wildlife. We have continued to care for the seeds and flowers that we planted and William brought in a tomato plant that he has grown at home, which we will plant in the garden when it gets a bit bigger. We have also been over to the allotment, where we watered the plants and found snails, ladybirds and butterflies.

We got very sticky making bird feeders by covering pine cones with peanut butter and seeds and then hanging them out in the garden. We then stayed very quiet as we looked out of the window to watch the birds enjoying their treats!

We have also had some exciting visitors to Nursery. Rachel brought some tadpoles in, so we found out all about them by watching a short video. We discovered that they like to eat lettuce and that they will turn into frogs! We will continue to look after them and watch them grow!

SEND Coffee Morning On Thursday, 6th July, we held our first SEND Coffee Morning.

Many outside agencies including CAMHS, our Educational Psychologist and the Behaviour Advisory Team (BAT) came to school to answer questions raised by parents.

Thank you to all the services and parents who attended and made the morning a huge success. The next SEND Coffee Morning will be held in November.

Smilies this week —Thank you, children, for your amazing Attitude, Conduct and Effort. You’re all ACE! RRT
