On Monday, pupils from Myddle and Baschurch attended Young Voices.

We set out at midday and arrived in good time ready for the rehearsals before the main event at 7pm.

With performances from likes of The Shires, Ruti (2018 winner of the Voice) and the legendary Tony Hadley, We knew we were in for a real treat. The children were in fine voice too and sang and danced their hearts out. It was an amazing experience. To hear over 6000 children singing together as one is something quite special.

Well done everyone.

Please can we ask you to have a really good look at the attached poster about the Tik Tok App. This is a very popular app which is lots of fun for young people.

We know that it is used widely by children in our school, so we want to make sure parents know what it’s about and how to keep children safe. Some of our children do not have private or restricted profiles, and this leaves them vulnerable to predators.

The poster explains all the pros and cons, but a quick summary is below:

Concerns with the app:

Rate 12+, Online Predators, explicit song lyrics, in-app purchases, addictive, abusive comments on videos.

Things you can do:

Enable restricted mode, make sure your child knows how to report inappropriate comments or content, set privacy, restrict screen time.
