What's the buzz from the pupils this week? Cwestiwn yr Wythnos! We ask pupils a weekly question in order to feed into our school improvement. Parents and carers can have a say by clicking here. "How have your maths skills improved this year?"
Pod Pengwin: "I like to do maths in the pod, like 5 + 5 = 10. We like to do maths outside. When I had an eye test, I had to read numbers and I knew what they were."
Pod Pysgodyn: "I am a lot better at times tables and dividing. I am good at my 9 and 10s. I use my problem solving skills to use the bus stop method."
Pod PryCop: "I think they have improved because my presentation is better and I get less distracted. I am very good at angles and they have got better since Pysgodyn."
Mr G's Internet Safety Tip of the Week: (TikTok's approach to age limits is covered in the UK by the children's code, which is designed to protect children's data online. The code states that processing the personal data of a child is lawful if they are at least 13 years old. Below that age, parental consent is needed for processing of a child's data.) How to make TikTok safer. Using any social network can be risky, but it's possible for children to safely use the app with strict adult supervision (and a private account). TikTok also offers some tools for parents and caregivers to further limit how much time kids spend on the app and what they can see. Parents and carers can also use Restricted Mode to reduce mature content, or Family Safety Mode to pair their account with their kid's account and control settings completely.
