• PC Kadodia came into school to speak to the year 5 and 6 children about internet safety on Wednesday 7th October.  She gave a presentation about the benefits and dangers of the internet and also cyberbullying and what the children could do to prevent themselves being at risk.  At the end of the presentation she even showed the children her utility belt, including her ASP and handcuffs!
