Christmas…….bah humbug!
Been very busy with dress rehearsals, choir practice, Christmas parties and the usual fayre in primary schools at this time of year. I have also occasionally taken a class to the computer suite for a spot of Christmas web surfing…….. or not!!
It appears that one excellent site www.northpole.com, triggers our firewall into action….but not always and not on every machine. Today even Northumberland’s ngfl Christmas area fell foul of the system that keeps our cherubs safe. I now must phone up to discover why a disco dancing Santa and some festive games of pelmanism cause such a stooshie. I reckon the word ‘game’ is the culprit. The difficult thing to understand is that the first time I logged onto the northpole website I had no problem and used it successfully on every machine with a class!
A link within the Kent ngfl Christmas area takes you to www.citycreator.com which has proved extremely popular with the children. Whilst looking at it at home my 19 year old son asked me why I was always looking at ‘weird stuff’ on the internet. He then hijacked the laptop and created his own city for a good half an hour. Worth a wee look. You can send it as an e card and one of them is snocity. Very festive.
