Internet Safety – Online Relationships
This week we have been learning about how to make responsible choices online. What should you do if you see something inappropriate or upsetting online? Who should you tell? Discuss online profiles and making responsible choices with someone at home.

Value – Service
This week Miss Taylor’s assembly was about how Jesus washed his disciples feet to show his service to them. How can you show service to your friends and family? You don’t literally have to wash their feet… what else could you do?

Road Safety Week
This week is Road Safety week, create a poster or a leaflet about how to stay safe on the roads. This could be when walking, cycling or in the car with your parents or family members.

Internet Safety – Online Relationships
This term Westgate Phase are learning about relationships online. This week we have been exploring respect for others as well as self-respect online. Create a DO’S/DON’TS list for supporting friends online – e.g. DO listen to their feelings, DON’T make it worse by being mean to whoever upset them.

D.T. – Diet, Nutrition and Hygiene.
This week in D.T. we have learnt about the eat-well plate and balanced diets. Think about the meals you have had so far this week. Can you identify which food groups each food is in? What carbohydrates, proteins, fibres and fats have you eaten this week so far? Make a list of the foods you have eaten and put them into the different food groups.

Geography – Natural Resources
This week we have been learning about where natural resources occur in the world and what this means for that country’s economic growth, Saudi Arabia and oil for example. A lot of the resources we learnt about were from South America and the Middle East. Research what natural resources come from countries in Europe.

Science – Animals, including Humans.
This week we are learning about body parts and how humans have evolved over time. Imagine we are in the year 4023… Will humans be taller? Will our hands be bigger or smaller? Why? Think about how technology is advancing and draw a picture of what humans might be like in 2000 years time.

Thank you for your cooperation,
