Wake Up Wednesday - Health and Fitness Apps

Over time, more and more fitness apps have been finding their way into circulation. Usually free to download – at least initially – these apps claim to offer helpful advice and assistance in routine management to those looking to lead a healthier lifestyle. While these platforms can be useful, they do present several safety concerns. These issues become more significant when we consider that children and young people can use these apps to stay active – whether out of concern for their own health or for reasons of body image. Our free guide breaks down the risks of health and fitness apps and offers expert advice on how to address these concerns to safeguard younger users.

Year 2 - RE - Why Were The Shepherds Chosen?

Year 2 have been thinking about how different people in the Nativity Story were told the good news by angels. Today we were thinking about why the shepherds were chosen to be told first, especially as they were not considered to be very important people at that time. We learnt that God's love is for everyone and that He values everyone regardless of their position in society.
