We had a variety of activities happening over the school to celebrate Safer Internet Day. In P1 the children learned a song about how to stay safe online. The P6 and 7 children had a visit from our local Community Police Officer, PC Dow. He spoke to us about the rules for social media and the impact of cyberbullying.

You may be aware of the literacy toolbar Read&Write. We use this toolbar in school to support learning and it is installed on all pupil iPads and Chromebooks. Midlothian Council was part of a video case study on the positive impact of Read&Write. You can watch the videos and find out more here. The very exciting news is that Midlothian has negotiated a world-first deal that means you can now download the Read&Write toolbar at home, on up to 5 devices, completely free! Please use this link to download. You will be asked for the school’s postcode and then be given instructions on what to do next. Have a look at this feature tour to see all the things Read&Write can do and ask your child to show you how they use Read&Write in school!
