Smartphone free Schools 

We held a very well-attended meeting this morning about Smartphone free schools.  Laura, a parent at the school, gave a very informative presentation about smartphones demonstrating that while smartphones have many practical benefits, there is now plenty of evidence to say that their use among primary-aged children can be very problematic, and potentially harmful. To find out more about these issues please visit https://smartphonefreechildhood.co.uk/the-problem

Thank you to all that attended.  I will be writing to you next week, in more detail, about Kilmorie becoming a smartphone-free school at Kilmorie. 

RRS

A reminder from last week. Article 24 says that every child has the right to the best possible health. Governments must provide good quality healthcare, clean water, nutritious food, and a clean environment and education on health and well-being so that children can stay healthy.   

We would also like everyone to wear green next week on Thursday 15th May for Wear it Green Day and turn Kilmorie green for good mental health.  

There will be home learning activities linked to our Article of the Month going forward. These are optional but a good opportunity to discuss Children's Rights.
