Be Safe on Tintnet (Day 23 of 30)

[nanila]

I've missed a day due to inescapable slumber at 8:30 PM yesterday, sorry. The day itself was grueling and the previous two had been no less demanding so I managed to put myself to sleep while reading Humuhumu stories in order to put her to sleep. Whoops.

Anyway, here is one of the drawings Humuhumu has recently produced. It is advice on how to "Be Safe on Tintnet", given by a friendly dog with sad feet. Here is his advice.

* Ask your grown-up
* Ask your grown-up
* Ask for help
* Ask for help
* Use your tablet safely
* Use your tablet safely woof woof woof woof woof woof

Rules:

* If you're not sure ask a grown-up.
* if you see a game ask a grown-up.
* don't watch stuff that you don't know.
* ask for help if you see somefing pop up

Thanks, Dog!

Also worth noting: Humuhumu has begun her first history lessons in Year 2. Their current topic is "The Great Fire of London". Can I just comment on how wonderfully northern it is to have the very first thing you learn about the capital be the fact that once upon a time, a gigantic swath of it was razed to the ground? (No prizes for guessing where the head teacher is from.) I am deeply amused.

omg caution signs and emojays. She's too precious.

I'm interested in how much they learn. Does her teacher use it for base facts...fire safety talks, is the plague mentioned at all. I'm sure we had a run down that it ended the worst of the plague in England and meant better, sturdier houses were built and standards raised but we were maybe a year older when we did that project?

[nanila]

She hasn't mentioned the plague, but she did say that the houses were all too close together and made of wood, and also that it was windy, which was why the fire spread so fast.

The lesson on the Gun Powder plot's probably going to be fun too.

[nanila]

I wonder if they're going to switch to that now that it's almost October!

Tintnet!! Omg! I'm glad she's growing up with the idea that the tintnet (so cute) isn't safe.

[nanila]

The spelling matches the way she pronounces it: t'int'net. :D

[silveradept]

That is solid advice and artistically rendered.

[nanila]

I especially like the repetition from the dog, and that the speech bubble had to be extended to accommodate additional "woof"s.

[silveradept]

Yes. The signs of authenticity and that will be entirely thrilled about digital layouts that let you rearrange without having to commit to paper first.

My period of course so if there's anything, just ask! :o)

[nanila]

Will do, thank you!

We live in London and our son also learned about the Great Fire of London, but with bonus points for us in him possibly going past Pudding Lane
