Some information which you may find useful.
For Parents - Wearable Tech
More and more children are being given technology that can be worn, e.g. smartwatches and whilst there can be benefits the risks aren’t always apparent. This article from Internet Matters explores wearable technology for children and gives advice on:
-
The different types of wearable tech, e.g. smart watches, glasses, VR headsets and fitness trackers.
-
Whether wearable technology is safe and what some of the concerns are, e.g. privacy and data collection, impact on body image.
-
How wearable tech can support wellbeing.
-
And more.
You can find the article HERE.
For Parents - Under 5's
As more and more younger children get access to their own or borrowed tablets it's important to make sure these devices are set up correctly and children are using age-appropriate apps/games. Internet Matters have a great set of resources for parents of these younger children which you can find HERE.
Red Nose Day
Don’t forget that Friday 21st March is Red Nose Day. Children are being asked to wear something red for the day. Parentpay has the donation set up. Thank you in advance for supporting this amazing charity.
Parent Evenings
If you haven’t managed to book a slot to speak to your teacher on Wednesday 19th or Thursday 20th March, please message them to arrange a suitable time.
Have a lovely weekend everyone.
Take care and stay safe.
Mrs Wilmer
