New resources for keeping your child safe online.

Even though this site is designed for primary school staff it carries an important message which all parents and carers need to know about keeping our children safe online. Here is what it says about itself -

"Childnet's Know IT All for Primary Schools has been especially designed for primary school staff to help them understand important E-safety issues and how to help young pupils get the most out of the internet."

Our Palm Sunday Interview.

I know that it is a long time ago but here is one of the finished interviews with an eyewitness that the children completed using www.xtranormal.com


Betty Birney Website

Today we looked at the website for Betty Birney. She is the author of the Humphrey stories that we are reading in class at the moment.
We searched for a number of facts about Betty Birney and in class we will be creating a factfile about her life and her work.
Have a look at the site by clicking upon http://www.bettybirney.com/

Can you answer these questions?

Which schools did Betty go to?
What book did Betty write first?
How many Humphrey books are there?
What is the name of the latest Humphrey book?
What are the names of her husband and children?
What is the name of Betty's dog?

You could answer these questions through the site and send them to me by clicking upon the comments link just underneath.

The world according to Humphrey Chapter 5

In chapter 5 we saw Humphrey work with Mr Morales to try to get the children to calm down and work together. He had a great idea of pretending to go missing and getting Willy and Brenda to help find him. This worked really well and the children not only found Humphrey but managed to work together.

He also gave Aldo his friend information about the moonlighters club, a club for people who work at nights. A very busy hamster indeed.
