St Malachy’s Grammar School Visit.

A number of our P6 boys visited St Malachy’s Grammar School on Wednesday 13th April to watch and participate in a “Science of Dragons” exhibition.  The interactive show was inspired by the “How to train your Dragon” stories by Cressida Cowell.  During the exhibition, the children investigated and explored the science behind how dragons fly and breathe fire by focussing on chemical reactions, flight, forces and energy.  The show proved to be great fun and the boys thoroughly enjoyed it.

 

Guide for Parents on The Social Networks Children Use.

The NSPCC and  O2 have produced a guide to help parents know how to keep their children safe online. They wanted to develop a guide, primarily aimed at parents of 8-12 year olds, about the social networks, apps or games with an interactive element that children use most frequently.

The purpose of the guide is to provide parents with the information they need to understand their child’s online world and help them keep their children safe online

We hope that Net Aware can help give parents the confidence to have balanced and informed conversations about what their children are doing online. The Guide can be found at the link below.
