Climbing and baking were the most expected activities this week. Most of our children joined them and they were so much fun! Matvei chose cooking and baking and Amir went to play chess instead.

We’ve been surrounded by pancakes this weekend. Four of our children cooked together to find the best recipe and it was so difficult to figure it out…! All the three recipes they cooked were mouth-watering and there were no pancakes left last evening. Some students from other boarding houses came around to participate as judges in our pancake competition and… Matvei was the winner! Congratulations Matvei and thank you all for this great day!

Thursday evening was full of reflections. Online safety was put on the table and the children discussed the importance of not sharing their personal information when surfing on the internet or using social media.

We worked together to find useful and safe usernames and passwords and got to this conclusion:

Stay safe and be…

S – Safety (Don’t give away personal information to people/places you don’t know.)

M – Meeting up (Meeting up someone you have only been in touch with online can be dangerous. Always check with an adult you trust.)

A – Accepting files (Accepting emails, files, pictures or texts from people you don’t know can cause problems.)

R – Reliable? (Check information before you believe it. Is the person or website telling the truth?)

T –  Tell someone (Tell an adult if someone or something makes you feel worried or uncomfortable.)
