26/11/21 Digital leaders review by Isla (secretary)
We started off by watching a video of how to be safe online and ways of reporting cyber bullying and who to tell if being cyber bullied.
We are going to make a poster on cyber bullying and will share this with our class next week. P1-3 met Smartie the penguin who helps us stay safe online.

P7 Digital Leaders shared the ‘simplify’ and ‘read to’ tool from the Read Write toolbar. We all explored the different settings and had a go ourselves and are ready to teach this to our own class next week.

The Digital Leaders voted to choose which UNCRC articles would link with our Digital Leaders planned activities. We listened carefully to Conon, discussed with our partner and chose thoughtfully. We decided on Articles 12, 13, 17 and 29.
We then had a very quick explore of the Read Write toolbar and will look at this further in our next meeting. We will then share this knowledge with our own classes.
