Safer Internet Day

Primary 6.21 have been continuing to develop their understanding of how to stay safe while playing games online. Over the course of the week they were tasked with completing a number of activities such as adding their opinion on how to stay safe online using Jamboard and creating a list of do’s and don’ts.

The class then decided they would like to take their learning further and created chatterpix sharing their do’s and don’ts of online gaming.  As theme of safer internet day this year was  ‘All fun and games? Exploring respect and relationships online’ we decided that they would use their favourite gaming characters in their chatterpix.  Have a listen to some of them below;

 

As the focus of Safer Internet day was online gaming P6.21 researched the history and evolution of online gaming.

Setting Descriptions

Primary 6.21 have been learning about the importance of creating detailed setting descriptions to set the scene.  They were asked to create a setting description based on the short clip Embarked.  Once they had completed their description it was then shared with another member  of the class who was tasked with drawing the setting they were reading,

Rebecca: “I thought that some members of the class didn’t add enough detail to their descriptions and it made it hard to add detail”.

Miraaya. “I really enjoyed drawing Jamie’s setting description as I was able to add lots of detail to the setting”.
