It’s Wake Up Wednesday!

This online safety guide focuses on 10 top tips for respect online: inspiring childing to build a better digital world, it takes a look at a number of tips such as how to prevent internet addiction, being aware of the dark side, and pressing ‘pause’.

Description

Even before lockdowns inflamed the situation, one in every five 10- to 15-year-olds was experiencing bullying online: abusive messages, having rumours spread about them or being excluded from group chats, for example. Through smartphones and tablets, we’re used to being able to communicate from anywhere, at any time – but digital devices became commonplace so quickly that it caused a problem: as a society, we haven’t properly adjusted to how different they’ve made life. Our top tips can help you to build positive relationships online and avoid some of the potential issues.

In the guide, you'll find a number of tips such as how to stop internet addiction, being aware of the dark side, and pressing ‘pause’.

🌟 Meet Our Stoneacre Cup Stars! 🌟

These pupils represented our school with pride at this year’s Stoneacre Cup, showing fantastic determination, skill and teamwork throughout the tournament.

They worked tirelessly for one another, supported their teammates and never gave up.

We couldn’t be prouder of this group of players. Well done, everyone! ⚽💙🏆

Our Y3 children finished 3rd place in the Stoneacre cup 🏆 Well done!!

Please take the time to enter on behalf of us to develop that love of reading.

📚 Could your child’s school win £1,000/€1,000 for new books?

With our friends at Read for Good, we’re on a mission to – and you can help! 💙

Nominate a school at the link below to put them in with a chance of winning £1,000/€1,000 in National Book Tokens to refresh their library 📖✨

Even better? If your nomination is chosen, YOU could win a £100/€120 National Book Token to spend in your favourite bookshop!

And that's not all. To celebrate the UK's National Year of Reading, we'll pick a flash winner every week until 24th June to receive £100/€100 for their nominated school, and £25/€30 for themselves. That's even more books in the libraries of schools across the UK and Ireland. 🎉

Why it matters:
💡 Reading for pleasure boosts wellbeing, confidence and academic success
📉 But only 1 in 3 children say they enjoy reading in their free time
📚 Many school libraries need new and inspiring books to engage today’s readers

Let’s give every child access to books they’ll love. ❤️

👉 Nominate your school today and spread the word – the more nominations, the better their chances!
