Wilberlee Weekly

Week 6Message from the Head

Teacher

This week it was ‘Safer Internet Day’ and our children have been revisiting ways to stay safe when online. This is of course absolutely crucial in safeguarding our pupils and in teaching them how to be safe not only when using a school computer, but also when accessing the internet and apps on a mobile phone, a tablet, etc. Coming up in March we have booked an E-Safety Show - a company is coming into school to deliver a day about E-Safety: ‘Team Robot v Meanies’. The fun and active show and workshops demonstrate how the Meanies’ virus spreads and affects how the pupils act towards each other. It covers issues of bullying, online safety and awareness of how we act online. Our Wilberlee PTA have kindly paid for the day for us, so I would like to say thank you on behalf of the staff and pupils for this.

Wrap up warm this weekend everyone- it might be a snowy one!

Mrs Kenworthy
