We were enjoying naming ,peeling and chopping lots of healthy vegetables to pop into our soup pot today. Reece said he felt like a chef and Lucas took a photo on his device of the ingredients so he can try making this at home with an adult . David says his gran is great at making homemade soup and she makes it with ham.The pupils are going home to think of recipes they would like to try in cook school this term.
Just a wee update to say our Primary 6 campers have arrived safe and well.
I spoke to Miss Glencorse this morning also and she said that the Primary 7s are having a really great time and all is going well. She is delighted with the behaviour of the pupils and how they are participating in all aspects of the camp. #thumbsuptoallcampers
We recently received information about an app called Selfie Cop from West Lothian’s Child Protection Officer. I thought it might be something which our parents and pupils might be interested in; as social media continues to have such a strong influence on our young people. This may be a worthwhile app for our young people to have to encourage good, positive habits when sharing images.
Selfie Cop is an app that can be installed on the phones/tablets of children (targeted at 8-13 year olds) and their parents to help children learn to think more about images they share. Every time the camera is activated on the phone/tablet, SelfieCop pops up and asks the child if they are sure about sharing this image – the image will also be available for the parent carer to view. The app is installed with the child’s awareness and permission – it’s not about spying on their activity, it’s about trying to instill good habits around thinking twice before sharing images.
