Safer Internet Day

National Parents Council Primary

Dear Parents,

Supporting your child to stay safe online can be a daunting parenting responsibility!

Tuesday the 9th of February is Safer Internet Day 2021.

The National Parents Council Primary are running free online interactive workshops on “Keeping your child safe online” all next week. This programme will give you practical information and supports to help you as a parent in this vital role. It will help you better understand that your parenting skills are key to keeping your child safe and it will also look at some of the evidence about what children in Ireland are spending their time doing on line and will also examine some of the risks and benefits for children online.

The sessions are taking place online via Zoom at 10am on Monday to Friday, and 8pm on Monday to Thursday next week, starting Monday the 8th.

Mini Coding camp for beginners age 8-12  (18th & 19th Feb 10.00 – 12.00)

This midterm why not learn to code! Over two days kids will be introduced to the world of coding using Scratch. This 4 hour, instructor-led course will give your child a good grounding in basic coding principles in a fun and interactive way using MIT-developed Scratch.

In this digital age giving children education in coding and new technology is vital to support their development. Playing with and using technology is one thing but to really progress it is important that children know how to create things themselves with technology.
