U10’s wearing poppies with pride

Our U10’s will be proudly wearing their poppies for their game over the remembrance weekend to show our thanks to those who have given their lives for our safety.

The poppies are ironed onto the playing shirt and can be reused on other garments afterwards. For more information, or you would like to get your own poppies, take a look at the following website; www.poppies4kits.co.uk.

This year we will have the ‘standard’ red poppy, and after last years very successful ‘1914-2014 dated’ poppy, it has been agreed with The Royal British Legion that we should continue with this by making this years poppy 1915-2015, Both of these poppies will raise essential funds for the Legion, enabling them to uphold the memory of the fallen and support the future of the living.

We will have a donation bucket if anyone would like to make a donation to the British Legion.

Keeping our children safe

As part of our commitment to keeping our children safe, whether that be in our care or in their own time, can I ask you to watch this short video highlighting the dangers of the internet and some examples of how small changes can help keep our children safe.

This is an assembly from CEOPs Thinkuknow education programme that helps children to understand what constitutes personal information. The assembly enables children to understand that they need to be just as protective of their personal information online, as they are in the real world. It also directs where to go and what to do if children are worried about any of the issues covered.
