We have been delighted to welcome the West Midlands Police Community Support Officers into school to work with the children during the last few weeks. The PCSO’s have delivered online safety lessons with the Year 5 and Year 6 classes and next Thursday they will be running a parent workshop to support families to help keep their children safe online .
The West Midlands Police Community Support Officers are also visiting school each week to work with Earlsdon’s newly recruited Junior PCSOs. Last Friday they had a great afternoon learning about speed awareness and how to keep our roads safe.

13 pupils participated in the Individual Table Tennis Championships on Sunday. For many of our children this was their first opportunity to take part in a regional event and we were very proud of how well they played and with such enthusiasm.
We are delighted that Diego came third in the Boys Under 11 cate-gory and that Lucas achieved an astounding first place. This means that Lucas will represent Coventry and Warwickshire in the National Finals. Congratulations!

Good luck to the 12 children who are competing in the Warwickshire Schools Individual Table Tennis Championships on Sunday. The children have been working hard to prepare for this day long tournament and we are delighted to have so many representatives in this event.
We were delighted to welcome David Moorcroft into school this week. David told the children about his amazing journey from being a pupil at Woodlands School to going on to become the World Record holder for the 5000m. David hopes that he will see us at the Junior Parkrun on 25th January.
Please put the date in your diary for the annual World Book Day. We work hard to promote a love of reading for pleasure throughout the school year and will be celebrating this national event with a range of activities. We want to give parents plenty of notice as the children will be invited to dress up as book characters or bring a prop linked to a book. There is no expectation that families spend money buying costumes– please encourage the children to make a costume or prop. We will update you on other activities the children will be enjoying during the week.
On Thursday 15th and Thursday 22nd January at 9am we are hold-ing a Maths workshop for Reception parents so that you are able to support your child at home with Early Maths skills.

Keeping children safe online-workshop for parents
We will be holding a parents workshop on Thursday 29th January at 5pm.
The session will be led by West Midlands Police and will focus on raising parents awareness of the dangers and possible consequences of children accessing the internet if appropriate safety measures and monitoring are not put in place. The session is extremely relevant and important for all primary school parents as school and West Midlands Police are seeing an increase in primary school age children getting involved with things online or accessing things they shouldn’t.
Throughout the session PCSO Chater will give tips and strategies that parents can use to make the online space a safer place for their children. Some of the topics included in the parents workshop are listed below:
• Apps and appropriate ages
• Children sharing inappropriate images
• Gaming
• Grooming and radicalisation
• The dark web
• Settings
• Digital footprint
