Waste Week Competition

We are having a competition as part of waste week to create a useful item out of materials that would normally be thrown away or recycled, for example a milk bottle bird feeder or plastic bottle piggy bank. All pupils are encouraged to take part by creating something at home with entries to be submitted by Wednesday 27th March. There will be a prize for the best P1-3 and P4-7 entries which will be announced on the 29th March.

Good luck everyone and remember, reduce, reuse, recycle!

Momo challenge and Internet safety

Momo challenge and internet safety

You may have seen information in the media recently about the “MOMO Challenge”, an Internet trend in which a frightening image of a woman with a distorted face and bulging eyes is shared via social media apps, such as WhatsApp.

This trend generally targets children and asks them to carry out “challenges”. Children have reported being threatened if they do not comply, which can obviously cause great distress.

Our advice to parents who are worried about this current trend, or who have questions, is to speak to their children and engage with how they are using the internet.

National Online Safety have produced a guide with information about this particular trend, and good advice on general online safety. https://nationalonlinesafety.com/resources/platform-guides/momo-online-safety-guide-for-parents/

Police have also advised parents to:

  •         Ensure they know what their children can access online
  •         Ensure children understand the importance of not giving personal information to anyone they do not know
  •         Tell their children no-one has the right to make them do anything they do not want to do
  •         Use parental controls to keep children safe

 

The NSPCC maintains the Net Aware website, which has lots of useful information about the use of social media by children: https://www.net-aware.org.uk/

This includes a dedicated page of information and advice about WhatsApp: https://www.net-aware.org.uk/networks/whatsapp/
