THE
Keeping up! On-line world.
INFORMATION In today's digitally connected world, children and adults are constantly presented with new ways to engage, react and contribute. We’re sociable beings; it’s a natural human instinct, especially amongst younger audiences, to want to belong and join in. Viral Challenges (as they’re often known) draw on these emotions and, as the name suggests, spread and gather pace very rapidly. New challenges are constantly emerging and evolving. They’re often completely innocent, raising awareness of worthy causes or simply providing amusement. However, they can have much more sinister undertones. Abbey has drawn together some useful material to help parents keep sensible checks on what the children get up to online. A new page of information can be found here: https://www.abbeyfederation.co.uk/on-line-safety- information/ GOODBYE After working at Abbey for 14 years, we say a fond farewell to Mrs Nicholls. In our ‘Star of the Week’ assembly, we thanked Mrs Nicholls for all of her hard work. We wished her all the best for her new adventure ahead. Mrs. Nichols is moving to a Special Educational Needs school where she will be working and caring for young adults. We presented her with fl owers, gifts and cards. There were even some lovely pink balloons that matched the colour of her hair!
Thanks to Mrs. Flanagan for the story.
