Safer Internet Day – Tuesday 11 February 2014

Yesterday we did some activities on internet safety in Mrs Hare’s class.  Lee and Kim two cartoon characters showed us how to stay safe online.  Here are our top tips:

Andrew – ‘Don’t tell someone where you live or your phone number’

Ella – ‘ They (people on line) and not friends, they are strangers’

Jaidon – ‘Be polite.  Don’t say nasty stuff’

Robbie – If you feel uh oh tell your mum or dad’

Rights and Responsibilities

The children in Mrs Hare’s class have started to learn about their rights and responsibilities as responsible citizens.  This week we have been exploring ‘I have the right to be fed an adequate amount of food and the responsibility not to waste food’.  We are talking about this right and responsibility at snack time in the Language Centre

Chinese New Year!

The children in the Language Centre celebrated Chinese New Year this week.  They learnt the story of the animals crossing the river and that this year’s animal is the horse.  We think Chinese children are very lucky to find red envelopes with money inside as a gift.  Writing in Chinese was tricky and making patterns on the horses head was too but we’re sure you’ll agree they made a good effort.  A Chinese feast rounded off our week of celebrations and we even tried eating with chopsticks.
