On Tuesday it was Safer Internet Day and Year 1 learnt all about keeping safe online. This year’s theme was ‘All fun and games’. First we listened to an assembly by Miss Beckwith and then we looked at our school ‘SAFE’ poster. Throughout the day we focused on each of the letters and how this helps us to keep safe online. First it was ‘S’ – Secret – we learnt about what information we should keep secret and what information is okay to share. Next it was ‘A’ – Ask – we learnt that we must ask a grown up if we can go online and also ask if there is something that we are not sure of. Then it was time for ‘F’ – Friends. We learnt that it is good to have friends online but we must make sure they are real friends and are actually who they say they are. We learnt that people can pretend to be anyone online. Finally it was ‘E’ – Enjoy – this really linked to this year’s theme and we discussed all the games and activities that we do and play online. We also learnt about age restrictions and how these are there to keep us safe and we should only play on things suitable for our age. We also read some DigiDuck stories to help us learn about keeping safe online.
