Living and Learning: Internet Safety and age restrictions

Monday 03 February 2025

Year 3 had a visitor this morning from D:Side. We were learning about being safe online while playing on different games.

Lots of us enjoy playing games online and they can be really fun but there is also lots of things we need to be careful around.

Lots of games have age ratings and restrictions based on the content they show. In Year 3, we should only be playing games that are rated ages 3 or 7. This is because they have content that are appropriate for our age.

There are also many people online that we may interact with.  Not everyone online is who they say they are so we must always ask a trusted adult if we are unsure or feel unsafe online.
Even if someone says they’re 7, that they love reading and have a pet dog, they might not be telling the truth! We had a go at deciphering and deciding whether the friend requests were safe or not.

Help at home by checking the age ratings of your child’s favourite games to play online. Are they appropriate for them to play?
