You are here: Pupils - No Screen Friday 12th February
There’s no doubt that during lockdown our screens have supported us in many ways. We’ve used them to keep in contact with family and friends; work from home; provide lessons to pupils – to name just a few things. Indeed, times might have been very different had we not had the technology to support our lives. However we are conscious of the amount of time that we are spending on line and with this in mind, we are launching our ‘No Screentime Day’ on Friday 12 February.
We are supporting pupils by encouraging them to take a break from their screens, consider a range of suggested activities listed below and maybe ‘have a go’ at things that are out of their comfort zone. There’s something for everyone and the activities allow pupils to: indulge in their hobbies; take a break and lose themselves in a book; exercise; take part in a varied range of competitions and challenges; remember the fun involved when playing family games; be creative; improve skills and knowledge, alongside activities that will have a positive impact on others. Indeed the activities and challenges cover cross-curricular themes, skills development, national competitions, literacy and numeracy and the creative arts.

What a fantastic day it was! We had so many photographs and emails with activities that pupils had been doing and we have collated some of these in a presentation below. We are glad so many pupils took part and so much time was spent away from screens.
