E-Safety top tip!
Hello Newdalers!
I just wanted to send you a quick reminder about ways to stay safe online. With life being a bit different at the moment I am sure that you are missing your friends and using ICT a lot more to help with your learning. Please remember to follow these rules to help you to stay safe:
Don’t forget that if you see or hear anything that upsets you when you are online (or on your mobile phone) then you can always email Buddy Bear or your class teacher. Alternatively you could tell a trusted adult at home or phone NSPCC childine on 0800 1111.
Stay safe and please try to take regular screen breaks!
Miss Newport :-)
Value of the Month- April
Our value of the month for April is Freedom
What is Freedom?
- Rights and responsibilities
- Self-expression
- Freedom of speech
Suggestions for parents to work with children at home:
- Together, talk about people in history who were being ruled by someone else and wanted freedom, e.g. Moses and the Israelites, slaves in the US before the Civil War; Hanukkah; Nelson Mandela.
- Discuss with your child about historical slavery and modern day human trafficking.
- Discuss with your child about the Syria Refugee Crisis.
- Different Rules of Law around the world. Discuss with your child democracy in Britain and how this may be different from countries around the world.
- Freedom of self- expression. Discuss with your child the importance of their identity and being able to express themselves. Explain that people living in Britain are able to express themselves how they choose; as long as it doesn’t break the law (Individual Liberty).
- Discuss inner freedom– having positive thoughts. What does inner freedom feel like? When do you feel most free? What kinds of thoughts make you feel free? Constrained?
