Family Fun - Practicing gratitude
Activity: Encourage each member of the family to collect, find or make pictures of all the people, events and things in their life that make them feel grateful. Print them, cut them out of magazines, draw them, pull out old family photographs. Reflect and discuss and then place them somewhere in your home where they can be seen as a reminder.

The Alannah & Madeline Foundation has developed a new and innovative online learning experience that builds digital intelligence in students aged 10-14, giving them the knowledge and skills they need to harness the opportunities and deal with the challenges of the digital world. Aligned to leading international frameworks for digital intelligence and future readiness, the Digital Licence+ offers cutting edge, evidence-based learning materials that educators can use in remote and blended learning environments. This year, our Year 5 and 6 students will be completing these e-modules in class to help them develop social and emotional competencies, along with technical knowledge and skills that enable them to harness the opportunities and deal with the challenges of the digital world.
