Managing your screen time!
The children in Class 6 learnt about the importance of managing their screen time last week. The children discussed some 2019 usage statistics for children in the UK and were surprised that on average children of their age spent 13.5 hours in front of a screen per week! This increased to 21 hours per week when they reached high school age. They also concluded that this would have increased this year. We discussed the benefits of screen time but agreed that it needed to be in moderation! The children ended the lesson by turning their ideas and discussion point into a leaflet that contained handy hints on how to manage screentime, including setting limits and planning to do some activities that don't need screens!
