• Maths in motion world finals

  Tue 20 Jun 2017

   

  Dear parents,

  We have received the following message about the Maths in Motion final. If you wish to enjoy the final with us then the link below can be used.

   

   

   

  “As I mentioned in one of my earlier emails, we are going to try and broadcast the whole of the afternoon session (from 1345 UK time) ‘live’ on our YouTube Channel so that schools, Mums, Dads, Grandmas, Grandads and anyone else who is interested in tuning in, can watch the proceedings from the Teacher’s Race right through to the World Final itself and the presentation of prizes. We will have a camera on the audience and you will also be able to watch the race (if it all works!) as it happens! The audio feed will be dependent on your internet connection but will be about 10 seconds behind the video. We are expecting people to be logged in worldwide for this event so there’s no pressure but we will do our best to make it a success!

   

  The link you need is:

  and you will just need to follow the on screen link from there.

   

  Would you please make sure that all your children and parents are aware of this as quite few of them have already written to us on our Facebook/Twitter feeds asking if we will be broadcasting. You can also tell them that we will have around 300 photos on our website, probably by next Friday evening, as a record of the day.

   

  I think that this will be the last email I send to you all before the World Final so it just remains for me to wish you all a safe trip and we’ll see you in Gaydon where you may finish up as a World Champion (and so might your children!).

   

  With kindest regards,

   

  Brian

• Winning Music Council are finalists

  Tue 13 Jun 2017

   

  Primary and nursery schools in Kent, Medway, Bexley and Bromley have had the chance to become music superstars with the KM Walk to School Song Contest.  We were thrilled to find out that our school is a finalist and the children, led by Mrs Seemann, have been invited to record their song professionally at a leading recording studio in Canterbury on the 22nd June.  Only 6 schools across Kent are finalists.

   

  The competition is organised by the Walk to School division of the KM Charity Team in association with Independent Music Productions (IMP) and supported by 3Rs teacher recruitment.  The prize includes up to six groups of finalists being invited into the recording studio to professionally record their track.

   

  Congratulations to the Music Council, superbly supported by Mrs Seemann, for becoming finalists!

  What do children and young people say to look out for:

  46% of the children and young people who reviewed Live.ly thought that it can be risky. The main reasons they gave were:

   

  • The fact that anyone can see your content if you don’t change your settings or if you add people you don’t know
  • The fact it allows live streaming. Young people thought this was risky if people find out your location, you say inappropriate things or you share personal information.

   

   

  Why young people like it:

  The main things that young people told us they liked about this site were: 

   

  • It’s fun
  • Talking to friends
