One of our favourite days of the year is fast approaching – WORLD BOOK DAY! 
It is on Thursday 1st March 2018.
We are inviting pupils to dress up as a book character for the day. There are house points to be won for competition winners too! More information will be shared with you nearer the time so start planning your costume!
We will also be having a book swap so start looking out the books that you don’t need any more. They can be brought to school on Wednesday 28th February and on World Book Day too. Children will get the chance to select a new book for themselves on the day.

Schools have been alerted to the potential dangers of using the app ‘House Party’. There is the chance that children could be exposed to inappropriate contact with strangers through this app.
All schools have signed up to the Scottish Government 360 Degree Safe Programme and this provides further guidance on school approaches to Internet Safety and Responsible Use. We also promote the ThinkUKnow materials provide by CEOP, which are age appropriate and deal with the issues of inappropriate contact and online grooming.
The following information is useful guidance for pupils and parents. This is available online at http://www.abernet.org/2018/01/19/keep-safe-online-what-pupils-need-to-know/
Keep Safe Online: What pupils need to know.
We all need to keep safe online: on our computers, devices, game consoles and on our mobile phones. This is a quick list of what you need to know to stay safe.
- Don’t post any personal information online – like your address, email address or mobile number.
- Think carefully before posting pictures, videos or live streaming of yourself. Once you’ve put content of yourself online most people can see it and may be able to download it, it’s not just yours anymore.
- Keep your privacy settings as high as possible
- Never give out your passwords
- Don’t befriend people you don’t know
- Don’t meet up with people you’ve met online. Speak to your parent or carer about people suggesting you do
- Remember that not everyone online is who they say they are
- Think carefully about what you say before you share something online
- Respect other people’s views, even if you don’t agree with someone else’s views doesn’t mean you need to be rude
- If you see something online that makes you feel uncomfortable, unsafe or worried: leave the service or app, turn off your device and talk to a trusted adult. If anyone contacts you online in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable, tell a trusted adult.
In some apps, your details might be shared with other people who are not your friends, but friends of someone else you are sharing with. Be aware, if you don’t know someone it’s best to leave the conversation.

P3 and P4 went den building as a good choice treat. They wanted to build their own dens and they ended up building a city of dens! It was fantastic!
