Year 1 have learned about media balance – how to enjoy using technology while still making time for all the fun things we do offline.

As part of our lesson, the children drew a character called Arms, using the computer to draw him holding both arms out like a balance scale. In one hand, they added something they enjoy doing on a device, and in the other, something they love doing offline.

This activity helped the children think about how to keep their lives healthy and balanced. We talked about times when it’s good to switch off a device and how taking breaks helps our minds, bodies, and friendships.

The children’s digital artwork looks fantastic and is a great reminder that life feels best when we balance our online and offline worlds!
