Dyslexia Friendly Pupil Group

Hello,

We are the DFS pupil group for Onthank Primary School. We organise events like the DFS workshop and whole school assembly. We invited all pupils and parents/carers to come to the DFS workshop. There were lots of fun activities for everyone to do.

We have already achieved our Bronze Award and are currently working towards our Silver accreditation.

Our DFS school mascot is Dom the DFS Diamond. Keep an eye out for him around the school!

Four of our good friends have made a movie called DFS A Wider World using IMovie trailer. You will be able to check it out at a later date by scanning a QR code.

“Pop Up” on YouTube

We have been made aware of a “pop up” on many sites such as You Tube which is called Momo. It targets children and asks them to provide a contact number for Whatsapp where users are then targeted with violent images and dares. The link below has information for parents.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-47359623

Here is advice from 2 of our P6 pupils Rhiannon Smith and Thomas Urquhart from our Health and Safety Team:

“There has been rumours going around that a being called ‘Momo’ will give you ridiculous dangerous challenges. Please do not attempt any of these challenges. If anything comes up on any device please tell an adult or family member as soon as possible and they will block them. Also, security on YouTube is trying to delete and block ‘Momo'”.
