Here is this week’s release from The National College with some great ideas and reminders about how to support your child in safe gaming, including time limits, game choices, time to talk about emotions and spending time gaming with your child.

“The Gingerbread Man”
We’ve had a very exciting morning in Hedgehog Class! We came back from worship to find flour footprints, lots of different ingredients and baking equipment in our classroom! We all had a long think and a chat about where these things came from and the Reception children decided that it must have been a real life Gingerbread Man. We can’t wait to find out what else he might get up to!
