We came joint second. Wilkinson shared this position with us in the test with eleven points and Holy Trinity beat us by one point they came first with twelve points. We had a great time at St Thomas More. We would like to thank Mrs Eyre for taking us as we feel very privileged. And to Mrs Thomas for organising it.

The Jennie Lee Centre conference
(James)
On Thursday17th January Me, Melissa and Miss Stephens all went to the Jennie Lee Centre for a conference about Mobile and Internet safety. We learnt a lot about how to be safe while on technology. We also learnt about other technology like praise pods. We split up and went different ways I went to Internet safety which was about being safe on MSN and other messengers as well as on mobile phones.
(Melissa)
I went to the praise pod workshop with Miss Stephens this was all about a webcam on a laptop where you can praise other people or your self and you can have it sent to your Mom or Dad on their mobile phones or by e-mail. So imagine your Mom or Dad sitting in a boring workplace and then receiving an e-mail that is actually a recorded video of you or someone else praising you. Would ‘ant it be good. The food was lovely as well it was so good Miss Stephens would not stop talking about it. We would like to thank Miss Stevens for transport and the Jennie Lee Centre for organising it.
Report by Melissa Keyworth and James Farnsworth.
Well done Melissa and James on your reports.
Learning about safety with our ever growing technology is of great importance.
Praise ourselves and each other is a very valuable tool in our learning journeys giving us all support and encouragement to do our very best.
