At Winlaton West Lane Primary School we take E-Safety very seriously.
Check out the links below, games and further support about how to keep safe online.
Please take the time to look through this information and discuss it with your child. This will help to re-inforce what they learn in school about using the internet safely.
As it is Online Safety week next week, Gateshead CLC are running a parents information session for KS1/KS2 pupils.
The session aims to inform parents of the dangers of using the internet and how they can protect their child.
The session only lasts an hour and will run from 5pm to 6pm.
To find out more or to book a place please contact Janine Brookes at Gateshead CLC Tel (0191) 460 2900. Fax (0191) 460 2900. E-Mail: jbrookes@ictgateshead.org
Rachel Atkinson and Amanda Tweedy came in to share with the children of Winlaton West Lane, the fantastic work that this charity has done to raise money for children's hospitals in the North East. The children and staff of Winlaton West Lane were presented with a baton to inspire us to think of fun and silly ways we could raise money for this valuable charity.
Amanda Tweedy is a reception Mum and made her son Nathan very happy indeed when she came in to Reception to host a poster competition with Rachel. Any ideas for fundraising activities will be warmly welcomed!

Receiving the latest mobile phone, iPod, digital camera or hand held game console is great but what about the ones that get left behind?
In January we have been given the opportunity to recycle these and raise even more money for our school! As well as printer cartridges and mobile phones we will be able to recycle iPods, digital cameras, sat navs and hand held game consoles.
So please get everyone to hold on to the gadgets that will be replaced this Christmas, and send them into school in January. Thank you for remembering us.
