Safer Internet Day 2017

Today we have spent the afternoon celebrating Safer Internet Day 2017. We started the afternoon with a whole school assembly where we helped a penguin called 'Smartie' to learn how to be safe online. We had some great discussions about staying safe online and the children were all communicative and considerate, sharing their ideas and opinions. We all agreed that we love the internet and that it helps us to learn and have fun so we want to use it carefully to stay safe.

We all went to our own classrooms after the assembly and learnt more about being safe online. In Giant Class we watched some helpful videos and songs and then completed a dot to dot sheet of 'Sid the Superhero' who helps to keep children safe online. In Trendle Class children watched a film to show the importance of checking with adults before watching YouTube video online. In Abbey Class, children learnt about images online and the impressions they can give people, also how to react if you see an image online that upsets or scares you.

We took class selfies to show how fun technology can be and had lots of fun trying to get everyone in!

The afternoon went very well and we feel we now know a lot more about being safe online!

Well done everyone!
