 Our learning...
In class, we have been learning about our right to Stay Safe and Speak Out. We have been learning about this from the NSPCC, who are also going to be coming in to school to speak to us! 
 
We have explored the website, The Buddy Zone, and if children are interested, they are encouraged to explore further at home. The website can be found using this address: https://www.childline.org.uk/toolbox/buddy-zone-under12service
Follow the link to watch a short clip that will support children's learning about the BLITZ.
