It was great to have the children back in the hall today for assembly after a couple of missed weeks. In assembly today we spoke about work that many of the classes have undertaken this week about online safety. I was aware of the great work that had been going on in the classes and wanted to encourage the children to share their wider knowledge about staying safe online. It was very impressive how much the children knew and could share with each other about being safe online. They could tell me about safe passwords, blocking inappropriate content, not talking-to strangers online, not giving away personal details and appropriate dialogue in online chats. We did touch on age limits for games and online platforms such as Snap Chat and TikTok and parental checks on phones and devices. Well done to everyone who contributed to the discussion in assembly today.
Awards were back once again and it was great to see so many achievements form across the school. We have had lots of confident individuals reciting their Scots poems this week, being reliable and kind, putting in great concentration to work, showing good listening skills in the gym and being committed to leaning were all reasons for awards this week. Congratulations to everyone.

I will look forwards to next weeks assembly when we will hear from the class winners of the Scots poetry competition from P1-P6. Class judging takes place next Friday in school.
