How young people use technology- the risks/challenges
Popular social media apps- the pros and cons
Practical advice on parental controls, privacy and safety settings with an opportunity to explore your own social media settings
Talking to your children about keeping safe online

Responding to Bullying: This 90 minute workshop is designed to:

Easter Service

Today we invited Rev. Povey and our families along to our Easter Service.

Our brass players played some tunes for us.

P1-3 and P4-7 sang songs.

Primary 4 and Rev. Povey told us about the Easter Story.

We recognised the winners for the Spring Family Learning Task, and every child who took part got 3 Dojo points.

We gave out the West Lothian Competition Sumdog Awards.

Look at our presentation below to see our Spring family learning task entries.
