🥺
It’s always hard saying goodbye to a student (and their family) who have been with me for so many years. This young person has grown in confidence and self belief since I first met her. Now it’s time for the next chapter. Go smash it young lady 🥰

AI companions are becoming increasingly popular with young people, offering conversations with virtual characters designed to feel like genuine friends.

Platforms such as Character.AI, Replika and Snapchat My AI can provide entertainment and creativity, but their human-like interactions can also create important risks.

Our latest guide explores:
• Emotional dependency
• Harmful or unreliable mental health advice
• Oversharing personal information
• Inappropriate or explicit content
• Distorted expectations around real-world relationships
• Subscription and in-app spending pressures

The guide also offers practical advice on discussing AI friendships, checking privacy settings and age limits, encouraging offline relationships and reminding young people where to seek genuine support.

Hubble, bubble, toil and trouble!

In our social group this morning we mixed potions using herbal t-bags! We discussed, smell, taste, texture, the bits that floated and sank, sieved and poured!
What would you put in a magic potion? 🧪

We explored lots in our home Ed learning group this week!
We learnt lots about elephants - did you know their tusks are actually teeth? 🐘 and made little elephant books.
We counted in tens and marked them on number lines from different starting points. 🔟
Then we learnt about Italy and designed, made and ate pizzas!
🇮🇹🍕
