• World Book Day

  Thu 06 Mar 2025

  On Thursday 6th March, we celebrated World Book Day. The theme this year was ‘Read your Way’ so the children had a fantastic time dressing up as their favourite book character or wearing their comfiest clothes for reading in. Throughout the day, the children took part in some wonderful reading activities. Take a look at our wonderful costumes and comfy reading wear!

  

• Safer Internet Day

  Tue 11 Feb 2025

  On Tuesday 11th February our school joined schools across the globe to celebrate Safer Internet Day 2025.

   

  The theme this Year was: ‘Too good to be true? Protecting yourself and others from scams online‘. The children thought about the issue of scams online. This included educating them on how to protect themselves and others, as well as what support is available to them.

   

  Safer Internet Day is a campaign to promote the safe and responsible use of technology, which calls on young people, parents, carers, teachers, social workers, law enforcement, companies, policymakers and more, to join together in helping to create a better internet.

   

  Using the internet safely and positively is a key message that we promote at Walsall Wood School and celebrating Safer Internet Day is a great opportunity for us to re-emphasise the online safety messages we deliver throughout the year.

   

  Our Digital Leaders have worked with staff across the school to deliver an assembly, and an afternoon of activities and lessons that help to educate our pupils about online safety.
