This week, you should have received your child’s ‘Curriculum Snapshot’ for the new half term. These documents are designed to give you a clear window into our classrooms, outlining the exciting topics and key knowledge your children will be exploring over the coming weeks.
At Wincham, we believe that education is most powerful when it is a partnership. While our teachers are busy delivering an ambitious and meaningful curriculum in school, we know that the "spark" of curiosity often continues at home. Alongside the academic overview, you will find a wide range of additional activities—from creative projects to local exploration—that you can enjoy with your child.
All of the Curriculum Snapshots for the year are hosted on the class pages of the school website.
Whether it’s a conversation over dinner about a historical figure or a weekend hunt for the Spring signs we discussed in assembly, these shared moments make a world of difference. Our goal is to ensure every child is happy, capable, and supported, both in the classroom and at home.
Each week in assembly, we celebrate a child in each class, someone the class teacher is particularly grateful for. By doing this, we aim to celebrate individuals as well as modelling the act of gratitude to support the children's wellbeing.

YouTube continues to be a go-to platform for entertainment, learning and creativity, but its vast and largely unregulated content library presents ongoing challenges. This guide outlines how features like recommendations, Shorts and social interaction can shape young people’s viewing habits, sometimes exposing them to inappropriate or extreme material.
It also explores key safeguarding concerns, including stranger interaction, risky trends and the limits of automated moderation. With practical advice on tools such as YouTube Kids, supervised accounts and parental controls, the guide supports parents and educators in encouraging safer, more balanced and informed use of the platform.
