Burns Night 2021: Time to Celebrate!
Who was Robert Burns and why is he so special to Scottish culture? It's time to find out!
This year many of us will be spending Safer Internet Day at home. This hugely important event in school calendars usually transforms classrooms into a hive on Online Safety learning. However, with many schools closed and teachers conducting online lessons with their classes, this Safer Internet Day is looking a little different.
However, we’re still here to help! As the big day approaches on 9th February 2021, our Online Safety video resources for KS1 and KS2 are live and ready to watch on Uno.

“Captain Digi is a pirate going on an online adventure. Join him as he launches his ship and sails the seven seas! Learn how to keep your personal information secure, what in his treasure chest can keep you safe and how you can send a message in a bottle. Keep an eye out for sharks and don’t get caught in The Glitch! This exciting online safety journey will keep your KS1 children engaged and learning all the way through.”
Online World – Online Safety for KS2
