• Think before you post
  Don’t upload or share anything you wouldn’t want your parents, carers, teachers or future employers seeing. Once you post something, you lose control of it, especially if someone else screenshots or shares it.
• Don’t share personal details
  Keep things like your address, phone number, full name, school and date of birth private, and check what people can see in your privacy settings. Remember that people can use small clues like a school logo in a photo to find out a lot about you.
• Watch out for phishing and scams
  Phishing is when someone tries to trick you into giving them information, like your password. Someone might also try to trick you by saying they can make you famous or that they’re from a talent agency. Never click links from emails or messages that ask you to log in or share your details, even if you think they might be genuine. If you’re asked to log into a website, go to the app or site directly instead.
• Think about who you’re talking to
  There are lots of ways that people try to trick you into trusting them online. Even if you like and trust someone you’ve met online, never share personal information with them like your address, full name, or where you go to school. Find out more about grooming.
• Keep your device secure
  Make sure that you’re keeping your information and device secure.
• Never give out your password
  You should never give out your password or log-in information. Make sure you pick strong, easy to remember passwords.
• Cover your webcam
  Some viruses will let someone access your webcam without you knowing, so make sure you cover your webcam whenever you’re not using it.

On Tuesday, we invited families of the children who have been taking part in the Rocksteady music sessions to come into school for a concert. This was to showcase what the children had been learning since their lessons started. Each group performed separately and could really show the progression that had been made in their lessons. The smiles on their faces as they were performing was priceless! 

On Wednesday, the children in Years 1 to 6 walked to St Nicholas' Church for our Easter Service. As always, the children had a great time and those who did readings at the service were brilliant. The children had been practising the songs for the service and nearly blew the church roof off with their singing!! Thanks to Tony from church as always for leading the service. We would also like to thank those family members who walked to church and back with the children - we couldn't do it without you and are so grateful for your time. 

While the rest of the school was at church, our Nursery and Reception children had some furry visitors! They welcomed DB Animal Therapy into school as part of the work they have been doing on animals and life cycles. The children were lucky enough to stroke and hold lots of animals including a rabbit, guinea pig, snake, tortoise, skink, chicks, snake and frog! They also found out lots of interesting facts about them including how they grow, what they eat and how they move. They all really enjoyed this experience!

Wednesday was a very busy day, as some of our Key Stage 2 children took part in an inter-schools Cross Country competition. It was the first time that the children had taken part in this event and they were absolutely amazing! It was commented on by members of staff from other schools and parents how well behaved and responsible all the children were. Their team spirit shone through and they certainly exhibited all the values that we are proud to have here at Bawtry Mayflower. Well done to everyone who took part - you did our school proud! 

The children who have taken part in our Dance after school clubs this term also performed for their families this week. They had been working on dance routines during their after school club sessions and this culminated in some fantastic performances this week. Paige, who leads the Dance club, is brilliant at getting the best out of the children and working to their strengths. We hope those who were able to make the performances really enjoyed them and appreciated all the hard work that the children have put in this term. Well done!
