Children who are subject to games that have high levels of violence and or sexual references are displaying some of these behaviour and attitudes at school. \u00a0Please DO NOT let your children play these games or watch you playing them \u2013 they do more harm than you think!<\/p>\n For further reading about this topic please view the following:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tomorrow will have our Open Night between 5.30-7.00pm.\u00a0\u00a0Due to current physical distancing requirements we will not be undertaking choir performances in the undercover area and purchasing items from the canteen will also require spacing. Classrooms will be using extra space around the school to provide for physical distancing needs, so please be flexible and understanding if work cannot be viewed in your classroom. We would also ask parents to keep physical distancing in mind when visiting classes and return at another time in the evening if it looks too crowded.<\/p>\n The Y6 Parents will be providing food on the night in the CANTEEN<\/strong><\/span>:<\/p>\n We hope to see you here.<\/p>\n Dear Parents and Friends Video Games and Movies Fortnite and…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5530,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5492","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-spps-news"],"yoast_head":"\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/spencerparkps.wa.edu.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/SPPS-7849-Copy-300x200.jpg\")
Fortnite<\/strong><\/span> and Grand Theft Auto<\/strong><\/span> are two games that teachers are hearing more about during school and play time and it is causing lots of concern. Play time at school should be about sporting games, learning to share, exploring nature and being active. Over the last few years\u2019 young children are referring to these games and acting out some of the behaviours and using associated language. This is highly concerning given that Grand Theft Auto is rated \u2018M\u2019<\/strong> and suitable for 17+ years<\/strong> <\/span>and that Fortnite is not suitable for persons under 12 years of age<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n\n
