Cut your Carbon

Dear Parents,

Your child will be taking home a checklist today with information about cut your carbon. Our Owl Class eco warriors council talked about how important it is that we protect our greenhouse layer and reduce carbon emissions. So, on the sheet there are 6 things which you can do to help. It is not expected that you do all 6, but each one will make a small difference. I will be collecting completed checklists and will send them off for our school to enter a competition. Best of luck everyone!

Cut Your Carbon | Princes Mead School

Mr Arthur 🙂

Parental Controls Information

This information booklet will help you set up parental controls and adjust privacy settings to provide your child with a safer online environment. Parental controls can help to protect your child from seeing something that they shouldn’t — although it is important to emphasise that no system is effective all of the time, so it is important to engage with your child and talk to them about their online life regularly.
