E-safety

Today, (Monday 14th December) Key Stage 2 had an assembly led by Google on online safety. The assembly all taught us how to be 'Internet Legends' and how to have a successful and safe time when on the internet. They talked us through Google's online safety game called Interland. This link https://beinternetawesome.withgoogle.com/en_us/interland will take children to the game to develop their skills of being sharp, alert, secure, kind and brave when being online.

Safer Internet Day

This year's Safer Internet Day theme 'This Is Me!' In Year 2 we talked about what makes us different and unique. We drew pictures of all the things that make us 'us' and we then discussed how and what we would share online. The children then colour coded their pictures. The green spots show what they would share online - likes and dislikes etc. The red spots are what they wouldn't share online - address, family, personal details.
