Tuesday 8th February, 2022 - Internet Safety Day

On Tuesday 8th February 2022, it was Internet Safety Day. This year's theme was 'All fun and Games? Exploring respect and relationships online.

In Unit One the children had lots of discussions on making sure that they asked permission before they went online and why that was so important.

In Unit Two they looked at respect online. There was lots of discussion on different scenarios such as texting or chat rooms and the respectful way to respond. The two posters below show this work.

Always be careful when you are using the internet. It can help you to keep in touch with your friends and help your education – but it can also cause harm – to you and to others.

Remember help is always available at school if you are having any problems online.

Don’t be afraid to talk to your teacher or another adult at school.

Tips for staying safe online:

· Make sure you keep new online friends strictly online. If someone you don't know asks to be your online friend you must ensure an adult knows about it.

· Know how to use the CEOP Button and how to report it to the CEOP Centre if you are concerned about someone’s online behaviour towards you.
