Black History Month Exhibition - Celebrating St Jude's Family Learning Projects!

Our children and families have impressed us all once again with their creative talents. Here is a sample of the wonderful art work that children have completed, this year there has been a focus on African and Caribbean Folklore. This has inspired children to produce papier mache models, create books and recipes, as well as share poetry and stories. The exhibition will run throughout this week after school - please drop by if you did not get a chance to visit on the Parents' Evening.

St Jude's Online Safety Newsflash Did you know that, in the UK, more than 4,000 online ransomware attacks have occurred every day since the beginning of 2017? During this time, 18 million new malware samples were captured by online protection pro-grammes such as Norton Anti-Virus.

Online Safety Top Tips of the Week Your online identity is precious. Here is how to protect it:

1. Don’t play social media games - one of the most notorious information security holes is the secret ques-tion and answer. These kinds of checks are very weak in terms of security, and are often the tool used to crack open people’s accounts. It’s a common game on social networks to post your “wrestler name” or “superhero name” and so on, which usually involves combining something like the name of your first teacher with the place you grew up. You’ve just given them the answers to two commonly asked security questions! 2. Don’t take unofficial online quizzes - one way to check trustworthiness is to look at the URL (internet address) the quiz came from before you click it – if it’s not a recognised, reputable name (like Buzzfeed), don’t take the risk. But malicious sites can also disguise their web addresses, so if you can avoid it, it’s best not to do those quizzes at all. 3. Turn on two-factor authentication - it might have an awkward name, but two-factor authentication (or 2FA, or TFA) is a way of adding an extra layer of security to your accounts. When you log in, you get a one-time

passcode sent to your mobile phone – or even better, get an authenticator app such as Google Authenticator. 4. Use a password manager – you could download either 1Password or LastPass and start making random passwords for every site you use. One further suggestion is, next time you get a new phone or a computer, start fresh and change account passwords as you add them.

Class 5’s Royal Observatory and Planetarium visit.

On Wednesday, Class 5 trekked to Greenwich to visit the Royal Observatory and take in a show at the Planetarium. At the Royal Observatory, we looked out across London and stood on either side of the Meridian Line. We were in two different time zones!

As part of our visit, we saw a show in the Planetarium entitled ‘Universe on your doorstep’. We learnt a lot of new facts and met some

of Earth’s neighbours. We travelled to Saturn and Mars, through the asteroid belt and all the way to the edge of our galaxy. It was amazing! We also visited the different sections of the observatory and really enjoyed the hands on activities.

Future rocket designers!

We are trying to

create an orbit.
