E-Safety Workshop

-

 


Week beginning 22nd January the children of St Patrick’s have been busy brushing up on their e-safety knowledge and understanding through creative and drama-led workshops and activities.

Years 1 – 2 had a ‘Cyber-Heroes’ workshop that primarily focused on online gaming. In a calm and creative environment, our KS1 pupils explored issues such as online bullying, age-appropriate content, pop-ups and in-game chat. Together they created their very own special ‘cyber-hero’ identities and become online safety champions, ensuring the internet stays safe and fun for everyone!

Years 3 – 4 took part in a ‘Game Over’ workshop and learned about the world of addictive gaming. They were shown how to avoid the temptation of in-app traps, resist playing through the night in order to get a good night’s sleep, control their emotions if they lost and how media can be shared to strangers.

Years 5 – 6 took part in a ‘It’s Up To You #008’ workshop. As part of their secret mission they had to ensure the importance of Online Safety for children is heard loud and clear in their school. They had to deal with hackers, cyber bullies and information-grabbing phisherman and make the world a better and safer place.

  Good luck and farewell Mrs Palmer after 25 years of excellent service! Mrs Palmer started at St Patrick’s in January 1999 as a Teaching Assistant.  She joined the Registered Teaching Programme (RTP) and her first teaching role was in Reception. Mrs Palmer has had many significant roles at St Patrick’s such as Religious Education Lead, Literacy Lead and Music Coordinator.  Currently she teaches music two days a week in school which she absolutely loves to do; this is where she comes alive with her joy of music and singing. Mrs Palmer’s collaboration with Waltham Forest Music Service has been amazing and has enabled our children to flourish in their musical abilities, from performing in borough-wide competitions and shows to becoming confident players of both the recorder and ukulele. One of her specialities is to rewrite the words of popular songs to celebrate teachers getting married, having babies, leaving, moving to new schools or celebrating milestones at St Patric...
