Safer Internet Day

Many of us rely on the internet for work, study, news and information.

We are told to be careful when online.  How can we decide what to trust online?

For some great advice and tips to navigate the internet safely, we suggest you check out:

Virtual author/rapper visit

 

We were lucky enough to have a virtual visit from the author and rapper Breis.  He was a great hit with our students.  This is what some of our students had to say about the visit.

Jayden J:

I really enjoyed the author/ rap artist visit a lot. I think his music and rap songs are great. I also really think it was a popular lesson as being a rap artist/ author is something a lot of children want to do for a job in the future, so it is also quite inspiring. Overall, I found the Breis call very exciting and enjoyable especially when he sang stay 'Diligent'.

Lillie T:

It was really nice listening to the rapper/author yesterday, and how he started his career. I enjoyed it because it gave me more opportunities for my future career, and I enjoyed his performances.

Reggie N:

As the rapper came to my old school before, I enjoyed experiencing his lyrics again. I found it fun as he stayed in rhythm for most of his raps, my favourite rap is I am on a bus.
