Scottish Government Children’s Rights Cafés

Primary 6/7 ~ Miss Mullin and Mrs James

ONLINE SAFETY WORKSHOP FOR PARENTS AND CARERS
Will you join us and help keep all children safe online?
O2 and the NSPCC have joined forces on a mission to help all children and their families in the UK stay safe online. Together, they’re offering useful tools, support and guidance to help parents and carers have conversations with their children about their online lives.
As part of this, they’re running free online safety workshops for parents and carers and will be
hosting one at Glenurquhart Primary at 6-7pm on Monday, 1st April. We would like to invite all
parents and carers to join.
The hour-long workshop will help parents and carers understand their child’s online world and build confidence to have those important conversations that can help keep children safe online.
Until then, if you need any support or guidance, check out our website pages and step-by step guides online, call the O2 and NSPCC Online Safety Helpline on 0808 800 5002.

Danken Sie Ihnen Ms Beyer, und auf Wiedersehen!!

P7 loved their second German taster lesson yesterday morning.  Ms Beyer taught them how to introduce themselves and talk about their likes and dislikes.  This was the last taster session, as Ms Beyer is returning home to Germany shortly.

Thank you Ms Beyer – it was a pleasure to meet you and learn more about Germany.  🙂
