As we approach the Christmas holidays, we look forward to sharing class performances with parents before the end of term. We will be streaming video recordings via Microsoft Teams this year. Instructions will be emailed closer to the time; your child’s class teacher will also inform you of the date and time of the performance. We are unable to put the video on the website due to a range of restrictions that are in place. All you require is a device to attend the performance, such as a smartphone, iPad, tablet or laptop.

‘A Day in my Digital Life’ Art Competition
Google and Parent Zone are holding a competition – and your child could win an amazing trip to the Houses of Parliament!
Parent Zone’s Find Your Balance: A day in my digital life art competition, in partnership with Google, is asking children to draw a picture showing how they find a healthy balance in their online and offline lives.
They are looking for a colourful and creative picture that shows how your child makes sure the internet works for them. It could also reflect how you share – and balance – your digital lives at home.
They’ll be choosing the top 50 entries to be displayed in the Houses of Parliament in London – and the winners will be invited to attend an event in Westminster to see their artwork on display. They’ll also be selecting two national winners (one aged 5-7, one aged 8-11) who’ll have their trip to London paid for.
For more information, and to upload your child’s entry, please click the link below:

Summer Ollee-day Pack
The summer holidays are just around the corner, and children will be looking forward to some well-deserved time off! However, holidays can bring with them their own challenges for children – from fears that they’re missing out on fun with their friends, to worries about starting a new school in September.
Ollee, a virtual friend developed by Parent Zone and funded by BBC Children in Need’s A Million & Me, is designed to help parents and children talk about difficult topics, and empower parents to give their children the support they need.
