this school in Gironde is organizing a major operation

Raise awareness among children to reasoned use of screens. The stakes are high. In Bazas (Gironde), the children of the Léo-Drouyn school, a special action is carried out.

As part of the fortnight to raise awareness about reasonable use of screens, this establishment, in partnership with the local Polyèdre media library, offers to support parents in managing their children's screen time and to encourage moments of sharing with family by offering shared activities to discover.

A survey launched among parents and grandparents

“Ahead of this fortnight, it was read in each class We skip the TVby Nathalie Charles, and Max and Lili's parents are addicted to screensin order to start a discussion between students and make them think about the subject,” presents Anne Abballe, director of Bazas elementary school.

A survey was sent to students during the Christmas holidays with the aim of know the games their grandparents and parents played when they were little.

An outing to see “homemade” cinema

Then four classes went to attend the Polyèdre at the restitution of the residence of Sophie Vialettes and Thomas Skrobek of the “Adieu Panurge” Company, who worked on home cinema with an overhead projectormusical instruments and other crazy objects to compose a live image, sound and vibrant projection.

Ask parents

We also asked parents to show children that there are other possible activities than screens.

“A new bond created” between parents and teachers

Thus, four parents came to meet the students to bake, do macramé, cutting and gluing or to introduce the profession of cabinetmaker.

“A mother of a student who was unable to be present even filmed herself to present her passion for the violin,” adds the school director. These days allow us to create a new link between teachers and parents and we hope that the children will want to do lots of activities other than screens. »
