Online Safety Assembly & Workshop

20th July 2022A Docherty

 Year 3 and Year 4 completed their online safety assembly.  They talked about all the things they have learnt across the school year.  Some of these things were:

    • Self image and identity
    • Online relationships 
    • Online reputation 
    • Online bullying 
    • Managing Online information 
    • Health, wellbeing and Lifestyle 
    • Privacy and Security 
    • Copyright and Ownership

We are so very proud of what the children have achieved in their online safety Lessons.

The parents then stayed for a workshop with Amanda Hayward from the Openzone.  We discussed a range of safety elements such as age ratings and setting safety systems on devices.  The slides from this have been shared on dojo.

If you require and help or advice please do not hesitate to get in touch.

School Council News!

30th June 2022K Richardson

A few months ago the School Council began to think about ways we could improve Hebburn Lakes Primary School. They asked their friends in their class to give some ideas.
Once we had collated this we sat together and decided which of the ideas could be possible and not be too costly!
Once we had our top 5 they then went back their classes and asked their friends to tell them why these ideas were so important.
We collated the information and then had a meeting with Mrs Moody and Mrs Redfurn to discuss our ideas and also the reasons why we would like these ideas introduced to school.
Mrs Moody and Mrs Redfurn were very impressed with how the School Council discussed the ideas and how passionate they were!
We have agreed to meet in 2 weeks time to hear back from Mrs Moody and Mrs Redfurn so watch this space!
Attached are the ideas and some of the very valid reasons as to why they would like to introduce these improvements.

I was very impressed with our School Council, they have really shone in their mature manner and also shown real passion! Well done!
