Last week Jack Frost spent a few days with us in Artigarvan. It was only fair that we were able to go outside and have some fun, both the little people and the big people enjoyed it!!
Today we celebrated Safer Internet Day and had lots of fun using our class iPads. We thought about how much time we spend online and decided that maybe it's a bit too long. In class, we played lots of games which we could play at home as an alternative to going online. Using a timer we were able to time how long we spent on the iPads and then move onto a different activity. The children thoroughly enjoyed doing Yoga in class, the link is attached for you to access this at home.
The theme this year was all about 'consent' and having a choice about what is shared online. Believe or not, some Year 1 children knew about posting videos onto Snapchat!! Our children have gone home with a very important message- WE CARE ABOUT WHAT YOU SHARE! Please consider this before posting online. Take a look at what fun we got up to today!
This year the slogan, "Together for a better internet", is a call to action for all stakeholders to join together and play their part in creating a better internet for everyone, and especially for children. The main message this year is based around consent.
Our whole day was spent learning all about what exactly consent is and how we can be safe online.
We watched videos, played quizzes, created cyber superheroes and made posters.
Check out our photos and video!
Today was Safer Internet Day. Yr 2/3 heard a story about Smartie the penguin getting a new tablet. We discussed the right choices if something went wrong.
Afterwards in groups we sang the song mummy penguin taught Smartie. We discussed and sorted symbols which represented yes and no and acted out situations when we had to make a good choice.
When we spotted the first snowflake fall we just had to go outside and feel the snow beneath our feet. Take a look at how much fun we had!
We are so sad to see Liz leave us. Lots of tears today from everyone. Such an amazing lady and we are all so blessed to have known her. Such a fun day had by all today.
We had so much fun this afternoon playing outside in the snow! Making the most before it turns to slush!
Our class are so lucky to be involved in such an amazing programme - Roots of empathy. It was Baby Ralph and mummy Victoria’s 4th visit to our class and we just can’t believe how much he has changed. Ralph is such a happy baby and he just loved when we talked and sang to him! We noticed so many changes in Ralph. He can sit for very short periods of time on his own and he can roll over. We always give Ralph lots of encouragement and praise when he does different things for us.
We talked about the different feelings and emotions that Ralph could and could not (yet) feel. We agreed that Ralph maybe won’t have some feelings like embarrassment but could feel jealousy and even anger. It’s ok for baby Ralph to have all these different feelings!
We can’t wait to see baby Ralph again. Maybe then he will have some teeth!
