Google Workshop and MOMO - 27.2.19

Dear Parents/Guardians

Last night's Google session was extremely informative and many parents made notes or took photographs of ideas they found useful.  Below is a list of some of the notes I made, along with some information about MOMO.

Joe explained that there is a high probability that MOMO is a hoax however, there are a number of children who are understandably scared by the image being circulated.  Please still be vigilant - attached is some information for parents regarding Momo.  Children have been encouraged not to talk about it within school and deliberate attempts to scare others with be dealt with inline with our behaviour policy.

I have also attached some information about TikTok and Snapchat as these appeared to be popular apps amongst some of our older children.
