Friendship week
​This week we celebrated Friendship Week. The children participated in lessons where they discussed how to be a good friend and the importance of being kind to others. Teachers gave out kindness coupons to pupils who were spotted being kind during yard time.  On Friday we concluded Friendship Week with a school assembly where the children sang two friendship songs they learned and prizes were awarded to those who won the design a friendship poster competition. Well done to all the pupils. They created some fantastic artwork with wonderful messaging on how to be a good friend.

Some information from 5th & 6th class on
​cyber bullying

You need to be thirteen to have snap chat, if you are under thirteen it is illegal.Put it on ghost mode so nobody can see your whereabouts. Don't start bullying people on social media to be cool because you will regret it when you are going for a job .You have to be thirteen to watch you tube and eighteen to have a channel.You have to be twelve to play Fortnite. Don't talk to strangers on consoles and don't give away details to any strangers.
DON'T BE MEAN BEHIND THE SCREEN!!!

On Monday the 14th of May Paula O'Connor came into the school to talk about cyber bullying.First thing before break we went into Miss Walsh's room.
Paula started talking about if there was a kid being bullied then they would be worried in school and online. We learned that the proper age to be on YouTube,Viber,Snap chat,Instagram,Whats app,and lots of other things is 13. Another important message is that our digital footsteps will follow us everywhere. People can look up your profile and scoop up everything about you.
