Earlier this week I shared information about Safer Internet Day through Dojo. I hope some of you managed to use these resources. My message today reinforces the need to stay safe online through children being SMART thinkers.
I have also shared an exciting achievement for Dalbeattie Primary this week. I hope everyone will join me in celebrating our recent success.
Today is Safer Internet Day. Throughout all online learning in school and through home learning we promote and encourage online safety. The theme of this years safer internet week is:
An internet we trust: exploring reliability in the online world.
The Safer Internet Centre shared the following:
” This year in the UK, Safer Internet Day explores reliability online. The internet has an amazing range of information and opportunities online, but how do we separate fact from fiction?
Safer Internet Day will be celebrated globally with the slogan: Together for a better internet. ”
Below is a link to a virtual assembly that encourages 7-11s to think about information they find on line. Can they trust the information or should they check it?
There are also two stories about Smartie the Penguin for P1-3. These stories are about Smartie’s adventures on line but also how he stays safe.
Oops just realised I am a day ahead with my date on the video. Today isn’t 6th of February it is 5th of February.
Good afternoon everyone. I hope you are all well and staying safe. In this weeks message boys and girls I have shared some positive mental health statements with you. I know that some of the teachers this week have been encouraging you to express yourself as this has been the theme for Children’s Mental Health Week. Well done everyone that has taken part in this. I have enjoyed watching some of your dances, looking at some very creative paintings and some people have even used Mrs Picken’s music videos/Sways to help them express themselves.
Take care everyone and stay safe.

This week is Children’s Mental Health Week. Being physically active is a very important part of helping mental health. Here are some pictures of pupils from P1-P3 out and about cycling, climbing hills,walking in the forest. Well done boys and girls.
Please remember everyone to get out and about and participate in some daily exercise during this current time. Mrs Gray would really like to see all the different ways you are being physically active.
Good afternoon I hope everyone is well and staying safe. This weeks assembly has a Scottish theme. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching the videos and listening to the audio files that have been sent into the teachers of children reciting their Scots poems so I thought I’d share a few more poems with everyone today. Take care everyone.

Normally on a Friday afternoon, we would be holding our online assemblies in school. Unfortunately this isn’t currently possible. Below is my first recorded message/assembly for the children.
I hope to be able to share a recorded message each week with the children. This recording is by no means perfect and like all staff in school we are currently learning new IT skill to be able to deliver learning in interesting and creative ways for the pupils.
A link to the book I have shared is also included below in case anyone is interested in reading and sharing with children at home.
