As you may know we love Lego.Ā Ā The education team at Lego have created some wonderful activities for children aged 6-9 years which I think would be very useful for parents and the classroom. There are six different topics which are designed to help children navigate the online world safely, including conversation starters. The topics include cyber bullying, screen time, false information and others. All the activities and resources are free. See HEREĀ for further information.
#BBC500Words2023 closes for submissions on Friday 10th November at 8pm. Thousands of judges (and I’m one of them) are ready to read insightful and creative stories from children of all backgrounds and abilities in the UK. Submit childrenās stories at https://www.bbc.co.uk/500words.
Remember, each story could win 500 books for their school and a trip to Buckingham Palace for the final.
