Hi Skye, I really like the warning sign. I feel like it will be really useful for our children to remind them what cyberbullying is. Love the colours and that cyberbully is written in bold so its flashy!

Dear Parents,

The students will receive a homework sheet each Monday and it will be due that Friday.
Each week it will focus on the constant home reading as well as a small given task in regards to what they are learning and focus areas of Literacy/Numeracy.

These slips will be pasted into their student diaries.

Have a great day!

Miss Skye Haifa

Screen time and screen use: part of a healthy lifestyle

Screen time and screen use are normal parts of life for most children and teenagers. The time your child spends watching TV and using computers, gaming consoles, tablets and smartphones can be part of a healthy lifestyle.

It's all about making sure of two things:

And don't forget sleep! A healthy, balanced lifestyle for children includes enough good-quality sleep.

Current national and international guidelines recommend that children under two years don't have screen time other than video-chatting.

Checklist for a healthy approach to screen time

These questions can help you check whether your child is using screens in a balanced and healthy way.

Is your child:

sleeping enough?

physically healthy?

engaged with school?

connecting socially with family and friends, online and offline?

enjoying a variety of hobbies and interests?

doing physical activity every day?

having fun and learning while using screens?

using quality content?

If you answer yes to most or all of these questions, your child is probably using screens in a balanced way as part of a healthy lifestyle.

Questions or concerns about screen time

It's OK to have questions or concerns about whether your family has a healthy and balanced approach to screen time. The articles below have tips and suggestions to help.
How can we use screens in healthy and balanced ways? What is quality content? What are the benefits of screen time? How can we manage screen time problems and risks?

-Keep an active eye on what your child does when connected to the Internet.
-Teach your child strategies to protect themselves online.
-Your child should only make online contact with people they already know – strangers who want to be your child’s online ‘friend’ may in fact be mature-age sex offenders.
-Report unwelcome contact to the relevant authorities.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Internet can be a dangerous place for the unwary, particularly children. A person's 'digital footprint' can be as easy to follow as their real footprints.
Many parents worry about how to protect their children from Internet harm or unwelcome contact.

This may include harassment, bullying (known as 'cyberbullying'), stalking or grooming (making friends with the purpose of having sexual contact at a later stage). It is important to explain the dangers of careless Internet use to your child and keep an active eye on their Internet use.

Teach your child to protect themselves online. A good starting point is to read through this fact sheet together. You can browse the online references for further information.

General safety suggestions for parents

Suggestions include:

Social networking

A social networking site allows the user to interact online with friends, family members and strangers who have similar interests. Popular social networking sites include Facebook and MySpace. Users can communicate with others in many ways - exchange personal news, upload photographs and digital footage, and share links to interesting web pages.

Some of the potential risks of joining a social networking site include:

The bits and pieces of information your child puts on their profile may give away their physical address. For example, if your child gives their full name, nominates their suburb and uploads school photographs, anyone who wishes to could pinpoint their location.

Information about hobbies and interests provide an easy way for sex offenders to make friendly contact with your child.

Anything published online must be considered a permanent record. The type of material posted by your child may harm their future job prospects. These days, employers routinely screen potential candidates by checking their 'digital reputation'.

Social networking sites - safety suggestions for parents

Suggestions include:

Unwelcome contact includes harassment, bullying (known as 'cyberbullying' when it occurs online or using a mobile phone), stalking or grooming (making friends with the purpose of having sexual contact at a later stage). Like any unwanted contact, the source may be a stranger or it could someone known to you or your child. It may be an adult or another child.

Without your consent or knowledge, the person may:

Suggestions include:

Report any unwelcome contact to the relevant authorities. Your Internet service provider (ISP), your child's school or police will need proof. Make sure that you save copies of the unwelcome contact for evidence.

Do not personally respond to the unwelcome person. Encourage your child to ignore all contact.

Use privacy settings to block the unwelcome person from making further contact.

Remove your child's contact information from websites.

Harmful or inappropriate content

You need to protect your child from Internet material that is inappropriate, frightening or illegal. Your child may inadvertently stumble across such material if they:In other cases, children (particularly older children and teenagers) may purposefully seek out inappropriate content.

Harmful or inappropriate content - suggestions for parents

Suggestions include:

Monitor your child's Internet use. Put the computer in a common area within the household such as the kitchen.

Teach your child strategies to protect themselves online.

Help your child when they need to perform an online search.

Install filters on your computer and on your server. Talk with your ISP for more information.

Bookmark approved websites. Tell your child to stick to these websites whenever they browse online.

Advise your child to avoid risky activities like clicking on pop-ups.

Report content you consider harmful or inappropriate by lodging a complaint with the content supplier or the Australian Broadcasting Authority.

Hi Miss Haifa,
I was wondering what was the best way to stop myself from being cyberbullied?

Are their any steps that I can use or a song to remember?

Hello Miss Haifa,
What would be your advice if you believe that your friend could be a cyberbully? What is the best thing to do ? When should I act on it?

# data[].attributes.body
We learnt today, that we need to speak up if we are ever getting cyberbullied. We need to let our parents, guardians, teachers and friends know. No one should go through dealing with bullying alone.

# data[].attributes.body
apps like YouTube and TikTok have a lot of rude comments, Is this an example of cyberbullying?

# data[].attributes.body
Good afternoon Miss Haifa, How long should we be spending using apps on our iPad's for homework and tech time?

# data[].attributes.body
Could we please do a drawing activity on ways to stop cyberbullying? I feel like this will be a good activity.

We could even put them on the windows, so our parents can see.

# data[].attributes.body
The songs about cyberbullying and being safe online are making me very happy. I like that their are many things we can use if we or someone else is getting bullied online.

# data[].attributes.body
Miss Haifa brought a big poster in today to show us, it was really colourful. I saw many pictures, colours and writing on it. The poster showed us how to stop cyberbullying, I really liked learning about it.

# data[].attributes.body
Yesterday I told my Dad about 1G learning about cyberbullying in class, he was surprised. We decided to make a short plan of what we would do and wouldn't do.
We would :
1. Tell a parent or guardian about what is happening online.
2.Take photos of the evidence (Rude messages).
3. Block the account and report it.
We would not:
1. Stay quiet and not let our parent/guardian know.
2.Delete the conversation or any messages from the cyberbully.
3.Keep accessing, watching or talking to the cyberbully.

# data[].attributes.body
I found this image online about cyberbullying and thought it should be shared. I like how it shows the girl has blocked the cyberbully.
