Internet Safety Day:
We take online safety very seriously at St Patrick's School. We start the year with completing the Project Evolve knowledge maps to identify gaps in knowledge. We then use Project Evolve based PowerPoints to create discussions at the start of every Computing lesson. We ask the children to complete the Knowledge Maps again at the end of the year so we can measure progress and feedback to the next teacher.
We also take part in theme days like 'Anti Bullying' and 'Safer Internet Day'
Here are some examples of our work!
Sub Hubs
