Year 6 spent the day learning about how to be safe while online, whether that be using computers, laptops or iPads; using our phones; or using different apps.
We started by discussing how great the internet and having a phone can be and sharing what we use them for and when we use them.
We discussed a video from Newsround which showed us some scenarios of things that have happened to people when they’ve not used the internet safely enough – why not watch it again at home and chat about it together?
When we talked about using phones, Year 6 were very able to discuss how phones could put us in danger and the decisions we could make that will keep us safe. We spent a lot of time discussing not only what sort of information we do and don’t share but also, the impacts of sharing things that we’d then regret. Again, we watched a video from the NSPCC which allowed us to discuss what bad decisions were made and how we can make sure we’re not put in that situation. Watch it at home and discuss it together. This video runs alongside one of the leaflets your child has brought home too so there might be some guidance in there on what to talk about.
We ended the day working with Splats, performing a play which passed on the message of e-safety.
Lots of fun but lots of important messages given through our acting.
