Four sixth year pupils and a science teacher from West Calder High School visited P7s on Monday. They came to talk about transition and their role as school mentors. They talked about cyber bullying and from the photograph above you can see Ruby as a mobile phone!
Three of the students are ex-pupils of MCPS and it was lovely to see them again.

In our groups we are creating a fact file for primary 5-7 pupils explaining a type of social media and how they can keep themselves safe if they are using it.

• We are learning how to safely use technology to communicate with others.
• We are learning to consider the impact that layout and presentation have in engaging the audience with a fact file.
• We are learning to work as part of a group.

A successful fact file will have:

• a title
• social media icon
• age guidelines
• information about the site
• information on how to keep safe using this site
• audience: P5-7
• use your own words
• A3 size
• Text
• Pictures

First we researched the key questions from the success criteria using the NSPCC website: Netaware. We would recommend parents look at this website to find out information about social media. Next we planned what our fact file would look like, ensuring we included the success criteria. Today we started making our fact files, watch this space for the final product!
