Geography/ English: We would like children to explore the topic of Africa. Please could they research the following questions:

Where is Kenya in the world?

How does my life compare to a child in Kenya? What is similar? What is different?

What is a national park? Why are they important?

What are the main animals that live in Kenya?

What is Maasai culture like?

Children can present their findings as a fact file about Kenya. Please can you remind children to use headings and sub-headings in their writing. They can set it out in any way they feel is most effective and use pictures in their work as well. Children may wish to draw a map to show where Kenya is.

If you do not have access to the internet children can create a fact file on any topic of their choice.

A new IWF (Internet Watch Foundation) safety campaign aims to help parents have conversations with their children about keeping their 'door' closed to child sexual abusers. The campaign includes a booklet for parents, explaining the risks, explaining why children are vulnerable, and suggests practice steps that parents can take. The mnemonic used in the campaign is TALK: TALK to your child about online sexual abuse. Start the conversation – and listen to their concerns. AGREE ground rules about the way you use technology as a family. LEARN about the platforms and apps your child loves. Take an interest in their online life. KNOW how to use tools, apps and settings that can help to keep your child safe online. https://talk.iwf.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/A-guide-for-parents-and-carers-v7.pd f
