Holiday Activities and Food funded by the DfE for Telford and Wrekin Families.

Happy Healthy Active Holidays runs holiday clubs during the Easter, Summer and Christmas school holidays. There are funded spaces available to children in reception through to year 11 who receive benefit-related free school meals.

The Department for Education (HAF Programme) funds each place you book. And so it won’t cost anything to attend. Each club will have a range of fun activities such as sports, cooking, dance, music, arts and crafts, and a nutritious meal each day.

For further information, and to book places, please visit the Happy Healthy Holidays website at: https://hhah.telford.gov.uk

Online Safety

Artificial intelligence is increasingly becoming a part of modern life and, for all intents and purposes, isn’t something we can shy away from. The explosion of ChatGPT, for instance, has brought this kind of technology into a more purposeful context, with millions now using the language model to help solve problems, write computer code or even complete their homework.

So how do artificial intelligence solutions work exactly? What kind of risks do they bring? Will they eventually negate the need for certain job roles, particularly in the creative industries? Our #WakeUpWednesday guide this week explains what AI solutions are and suggests ways parents and carers can support children to use the technology with an open mind. In the guide you’ll find tips on a number of potential risks such as inaccurate information, reinforcing stereotypes and what impact the technology might have on children’s creativity and problem-solving skills.
