Timetable for bag packing March 2nd/3rd

Below is the timetable for bag packing on the 2nd and 3rd of

March 2018.

Many thanks to all who have volunteered to help out . Your

generosity as always is very much appreciated.

Safer Internet Day was marked nationally on the 6th of

February 2018.


There is much talk in the media at the moment about the digital

age of consent which is currently at 13 years of age. There is an

active campaign to have this age raised to 14. This implies that

any child of primary school age should not be on social media

such as snapchat, instagram or facebook.


In our school we completed a number of activities to highlight

Internet Safety over the course of the week. We held a

poster/slogan competition on the theme of internet safety, we

created acrostic poems and a local guard, Brian Murray paid a

visit to the school this morning to talk to 3rd - 6th class on the

importance of keeping safe on the internet.we also set up a display on the corridor 

to remind the children of the rules for internet safety ( see below) 


Acrostic poems created by the fantastc children from 1st & 2nd class can be seen 

below . Further examples of children's  work and competition winners will be uploaded


 in the coming week.
