Our eCadets have delivered a lesson this this afternoon about keeping safe when gaming. They have discussed PEGI ratings with the class and the children are now designing their own game cover, complete with PEGI rating and reasons for it!

We have managed to squeeze a quick break in this afternoon so the children have enjoyed the sunshine whilst playing on the field ☀️
