With the potential of some children and young people getting a new device for Christmas..we wanted to include information and guidance on setting up parental controls and putting safety meassures in place. Having regular, daily conversations about your child's life online will supoort your child to feel comfortable to open up and talk to you about negative experiences they may have online.

We've been feeling extremely festive in the office today for our Team day! 🎄

We started the day with a song and dance session, led by our Whole School Approach Practitioner Emma who showed us the new actions to the 'Feeling My Feelings' song! 🎶😃

This was followed by a Christmas quiz, board games, photo booth, snow man making and wreath making! ☃️

Christmas can be a difficult period - not everyone is surrounded by people, plans, or picture-perfect moments.

If this season feel heavy for you, please remember:
You are not failing.
You are not alone.

Also,
It’s okay to do what comforts you at Christmas.
It’s okay to reach out for support if things feel overwhelming.

We've been at Pen*stone Grammar School again this lunchtime talking about peer pressure.

We discussed different peer pressure related scenarios and how to manage tricky friendship situations safely and positively. Of course, we had to take part in some festive crafts while having our discussions.. 🌟🎄

We will see you again next year!
