This week in Living and Learning we talked about online safety. In particular, we spoke about what we should do if an advert pops up on our screen when we are playing or watching. We explained that sometimes these pop ups want to trick us and might not be telling the truth so we should always tell a trusted adult and show them what has happened.
In circle time we spoke more broadly about online safety and I was very impressed with the children’s maturity and knowledge. We completed the sentence ‘I can stay safe online by…’
telling my parents when there is a pop up.
telling a teacher or trusted adult if they is something on the screen I don’t like.
switching it off if I am worried.
tell my parents if a stranger messages me.
staying with my parents when I am online.
Well done everyone!
Help at home by talking to your children about how to stay safe online and what they should do if they are feeling worried about something they see or hear online.
