On Monday we had a very informative day with ‘the conversation’ talking about how to be cyberwise. 

They encourage households to follow four rules:

• Turn off screens an hour before bed
• Screens belong in living spaces, not sleeping spaces
• Leave devices at home
• Most of your day should be spent creating, exploring and playing away from screens

We all have good intentions around our use of smartphones and screens, but it is sometimes the easy option to be on them all the time. During half term make time to talk with your child about their use of screens - and perhaps find time to play outside, do a puzzle or play a board game to enjoy some family time instead.

We had a day of workshops across the school to help the children reflect on how to be Cyberwise. This consisted of a variety of age-appropriate activities, encouraging the children to think about the amount of time they spend on their screens and the effect this may have on them.

This was followed by a very informative workshop for parents on how to support their children at home to stay safe online.
