Tuesday 6th February was Safer Internet Day 20024. At Heathhall Primary School every class looked at the message for this year’s Safer Internet Day. It was based on the way Technology is changing and how to keep ourselves safe within this every changing world.

Each class carried out activities based around staying safe while using the internet. Children took part in online workshops, created posters and played games.

The Young Digital Leaders visited every class to share this message with the children. They shared stories, had discussions and even sang a little song!

We know we have the right to learn about our culture and language. We created artwork, learnt Scottish songs, Dances and rhymes. We made invitations to a showcase about our learning and gave them to our parents.

Primary 3/4 pupils shared their learning about the Phases of the Moon by creating their own stop-motion animations. Pupils worked collaboratively and used their creativity to create informative animations. Fantastic work everyone!

Grampy Rabbit got stuck at the top of an Icy Mountain. We needed to help him get back home. We had to design and create a model of a jetpack to help him. Our jet packs needed a control panel, straps and fuel tanks.

“I could make my jetpack better by putting a compass on it. That way you’d know where you are going.” Jensen

“It was fun making a jetpack, The Sellotape was a bit tricky, but Max helped me.” Jude

“I wish I could have made flames coming out of the fuel tanks to make it look more real.” Florence

Primary 1 enjoyed their Christmas party with P1/2. We played lots of games, had a snack and had fun with our friends.

“I won a prize.” Gregor

“I loved playing statues, my favourite was the fairy.” Zoe

Working with a partner we designed, planned, discussed, agreed, measured, weighed, counted, poured, bagged, tied, cut, drew, decorated, assembled then sold our Christmas enterprise goods at our Christmas Craft Fair!

And finally – waiting for our customers!

On Tuesday, 6th February, P5 had a visit from our Young Digital Leaders – Ellie and Evie.  Ellie and Evie came to share with us technology through time as well as share scenarios and how we should react or how we might feel in that situation.  It was very thought-provoking.

We then made a pledge of what to do to inspire change for a safer internet. Some of our pledgeds are …

* Tell an adult if someone says something rude online

* Do not be mean online

* Will not add strangers

* Don’t give out personal information

* Tell an adult if I see inappropriate content online

Primary 5 have been exploring Shape in Maths, using lots of concrete resources and practical learning.

We used the Polydron to create 3D shapes and wrote down their properties on a whiteboard.

We used mini marshmallows and cocktail sticks to create a variety of 3D shapes, and again listed their properties.

We used ‘Tinkercad’ to explore 3D shapes using Digital Technologies.
