Good evening,
We are aware that some children in years five and six are regularly playing Fortnite with their friends online. Unfortunately, a number of students are struggling to differentiate between the online game and playing together on the playground. We have had an increased amount of inappropriate comments being made, which are not age appropriate and are directly linked to the game.
Please could you take time as a family and reflect upon the use of online gaming. There are security settings that can be placed upon Fortnite e.g. you can play with friends without having the chat enabled and you can easily set time restrictions on this game.
Here is a link to further information on Fortnite: What do I need to know about Fortnite? A guide for parents and carers – UK Safer Internet Centre
Thank you.
