We are absolutely thrilled to share a fantastic digital milestone that we have just achieved. This week, our class logged on, typed up, and proudly hit &#8220;send&#8221; on our very first emails.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"2\">Who was the lucky recipient of this digital avalanche? None other than Mrs Robinson, who has been absolutely delighted reading through all of our wonderful messages!<\/p>\n<hr data-path-to-node=\"3\" \/>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"4\">Why were we Emailing the Deputy Head?<\/h3>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5\">While sending an email might feel like second nature to adults, for us, it is a brand-new adventure in communication. Writing to our Deputy Head Teacher provided a safe, familiar, and exciting target for our first digital dispatch.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6\">Here is a quick look at the vital skills we were building through this activity:<\/p>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"7\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Digital Literacy:<\/b> We practised navigating keyboards, understanding how email addresses work, and finding that ever-important &#8220;@&#8221; symbol.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Safe &amp; Polite Communication:<\/b> We spent time discussing internet safety and the &#8220;netiquette&#8221; of sending messages. We learned how to open with a polite greeting and sign off correctly.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Core Literacy Skills:<\/b> Typing an email is a brilliant way to disguise spelling, grammar, and punctuation practice! We worked hard to structure our sentences so that Mrs Robinson would understand our messages perfectly.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7,3,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"7,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Confidence Building:<\/b> There was a real buzz of accomplishment in the room when we finally clicked the send button.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr data-path-to-node=\"8\" \/>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"15\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"31657\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/glowblogs\/newtonfarm\/2026\/03\/13\/room-6-sending-emails\/20260313_144037357_ios\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/glowblogs\/public\/newtonfarm\/uploads\/sites\/6520\/2026\/03\/13145652\/20260313_144037357_iOS.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1260,945\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.78&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 14 Pro Max&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1773412837&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;6.86&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;125&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.02&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"20260313_144037357_iOS\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/glowblogs\/public\/newtonfarm\/uploads\/sites\/6520\/2026\/03\/13145652\/20260313_144037357_iOS-300x225.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/glowblogs\/public\/newtonfarm\/uploads\/sites\/6520\/2026\/03\/13145652\/20260313_144037357_iOS-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-31657 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/glowblogs\/public\/newtonfarm\/uploads\/sites\/6520\/2026\/03\/13145652\/20260313_144037357_iOS-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/glowblogs\/public\/newtonfarm\/uploads\/sites\/6520\/2026\/03\/13145652\/20260313_144037357_iOS-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/glowblogs\/public\/newtonfarm\/uploads\/sites\/6520\/2026\/03\/13145652\/20260313_144037357_iOS-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/glowblogs\/public\/newtonfarm\/uploads\/sites\/6520\/2026\/03\/13145652\/20260313_144037357_iOS-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/glowblogs\/public\/newtonfarm\/uploads\/sites\/6520\/2026\/03\/13145652\/20260313_144037357_iOS.jpg 1260w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Digital Milestones: Your Children Have Sent Their Very First Emails!
