Then the new Disney show Shake It Up is for you!!! It’s a fun TV series about two besties called CeCe Jones (played by rising star Bella Thorne) and Rocky Blue (played by Zendaya) who dream of being professional dancers. When they land a role on the dance show ‘Shake It Up Chicago’, as background dancers they are totally over the moon!

Watch as they learn about what it takes to make it on TV, plus deal with all the usual dramas that come with being a kid! Think Sonny with a Chance, but with wayyyyy more dancing!

Happy Safer Internet Day!

February 8th, 2011 by Anthea | 8 Comments | Filed in websites

Hi girls!

Happy Safer Internet Day! Today is all about making sure you’re super safe online! In honour of this awesome day, we called up our pal Aunt Arctic from Club Penguin! As advice columnist and editor of the Club Penguin Times, the weekly newspaper in the popular virtual world of Club Penguin (clubpenguin.com), Aunt Arctic is accustomed to giving words of wisdom.

Club Penguin is celebrating Safer Internet Day!

So when it came to putting together information on online safety for kids and families, we asked her to provide some tips.

Aunt Arctic says…

Parents:

  • Keep the computer in an area where it’s easy to supervise internet use.
  • Teach your kids how to stay safe online.
  • Research and visit appropriate children’s websites.
  • Ask lots of questions about what your child is doing online.
  • Use parental controls and software.

Kids:

  • Never give out personal information, such as your name, age, location, phone number or school.
  • Don’t share your password with anyone except a trusted grown-up.
  • Choose a username that’s different from your real name.
  • Tell a trusted adult if someone asks you for personal information online, or does anything that makes you uncomfortable.

For more information on safety at Club Penguin, visit: support.clubpenguin.com/help/help/safety.htm

In fact, why don’t you print out these online safety tips and post them near your home computer for the whole family to see!

Happy browsing girls!

Super Stationery!

February 4th, 2011 by Anthea | 4 Comments | Filed in Art, craft and Design

Ooooh! Here at GP, we adore Stationery and Sydney! That’s why we’re loving this model of Sydney city made entirely out of stationery!

A model of Sydney city made by Darcy Prendergast out of Staples stationery!

It was made by Aussie artist Darcy Prendergast and it took him over 190 hours to build! He used rulers and bulldog clips for the Harbour Bridge, Post-it notes for the water, and coloured pencils and postage boxes for the Opera House!

Wanna see how it was built? Check out this clip to see the artist @ work!

Darcy made this model to celebrate the arrival of stationery superstore Staples on Aussie shores! The staples team have opened an online store: www.staples.com.au… and it’s stocked with some seriously sweet stationery buys!

We hope Darcy’s effort inspires you to get creative this weekend!
