Are you a 'Wizkid'?

This week sees the launch of 'wizkid', the Federation's virtual learning platform. Every child at Belle Vue School will be issued with their own unique user name and password which they can use to access their work and learning resources at home, in a local library, on an Internet enabled games console ... basically anywhere where they have Internet access!

To access wizkid, you will need your unique user name and password. Go to our website and click on the 'Links' button. Find the wizkid icon and click through and log on.

Did you enjoy a particular lesson in school? Well now you can share your learning with your parents through your 'wizkid' account. Simply log on to access learning resources such as: flipcharts, powerpoints, galleries or to contribute to chat or discussion groups set up by your teacher.

Remember - there will also be an area for the school council where you can post your views and read others. 'Wizkid' will change the way we can all access out learning!

We all follow SID's Top Tips!

This week we have been learning about how we can keep ourselves safe when using computers and mobile phones. This is called E-Safety.

We watched a brilliant cartoon called: Lee and Kim's Magic Adventure and Met SID - a superhero who knows how to be E-Safe!

He taught us to never tell strangers any personal information and to tell an adult we trust if we see or hear something whilst using computers or mobile phones which makes us uncomfortable.

If you want to learn more about E-Safety, why don't you visit the E-Safety area on Wizkid!

Have fun on computers everyone and remember to follow SID's Top Tips!
