On Tuesday, we learnt all about staying safe and being responsible online as part of National Internet Safety Day.
We were joined by a visitor from Splats who helped us create a short play about the evil Meanies and the robots. In the play, the Meanies were making the robots (or the people using the internet) say and do mean things. Eventually, the robots were able to pass on some kindness and defeat the Meanies. This scenario replicated being online and the negative things that could happen when we are using the internet.
In class, we watched a Newsround video about three people and the choices they made online. We discussed the importance of keeping passwords safe, not playing online too much and making sure we know who we are communicating with online.
Ask your child what they learnt during the day.
Here are some questions to consider during your discussion…
- Are they being responsible online?
- How do they know?
- How do you know?
- What should they do if they are ever unsure of something that happens when online?
- When/how often are they online?
- When online, what apps/games are they using? And, how safe are these?
