2S - E-Safety Week

We had fun in 2S this week learning all about how we create a digital footprint when we are online and how it can be difficult to change or erase this. We soon realised that we need to be very careful when using the internet in order to keep ourselves safe and respect other people's feelings. With our talk partners we came up with lots of great ideas  about the sort of information we should keep private (like our passwords, address, names, photos etc) and designed our own footprints to create a display to share our advice with the rest of the school.

Year 6 E-Safety

Year 6 E-Safety Week! 

We have been busy in year 6 discussing what constitutes e-safety and how we can keep ourselves safe on the internet. We started our discussion by considering what e-safety means and how we can keep ourselves safe. Here our some of our considerations:

We then watched two videos reminding us how to keep our information, ourselves and other people safe online. These were very informative and enabled us to think about our own safety online. These are the links if you want to check them out to further your own understanding of e-safety!

Next, we looked at three different Instagram accounts. One exposed the identity of a person using their name, pictures and personal information and the other two used avatars as their pictures. However, one used their name and the other used a fake name. This sparked a discussion about how important it is to keep our information and identity private when using the internet and social media sites. We can do this by: 

Year 1 learn all about: Lock it, Block it, Show it, Tell it

Lock It, Block It, Show It, Tell It is a strategy with an easy to remember slogan to promote online safety to children and their parents.

Lock It

This is about keeping personal information secure: usernames, passwords and personal details.

Block It

This is about blocking rude or nasty messages. It's about blocking bad websites, not downloading anything you're unsure about, and not clicking on any links or pictures you don't know about.

Show It

This is about showing an adult if you come across anything that makes you feel uncomfortable or is inappropriate. This could be a website, a picture, a message or a video.

Tell It

This is about telling an adult if you feel you are being bullied or upset online.

Year 1 have thought up some actions to go alongside this slogan, to help them remember the rules of being safe online.

Lock it!

Block it!

Show it!

Tell it!

1S - Learning how to stay safe online

We have been learning alll about what to do to keep ourselves safe when we are online this week.
We decided we should only tell our passwords to an adult we trust and nobody else and Lock-It.
If anything pops up on screen that we are not sure about we should Block-It and Show -It to an adult.
If someone is being unkind to us we will Tell-It to someone we trust so that they can help us stay safe. We learned some actions to help us remember these important rules and then used an ipad application called Morfo to make some crazy faces with messages to remind us.

Ever wondered how safe you are online? If the answer is yes, check out Year 6's e-safety videos

 

Always remember to Lock it, Block it, Show it, Tell it!

3H E-safety

This week Y3H have enjoyed learning all about e-safety. We have had lots of discussions about the games that we play online and about how to play these safely. We spoke about the importance of keeping our personal information to ourselves and we had a go at using Publisher to create e-safety posters.

E Safety in 4C

We followed up Mr Soffe's awesome e-safety assembly by creating our own poster to help others understand why esafety is important. Then the class voted on the most informative poster. The winning poster said, "Before you send a message, let your parent or guardian know what you have written, If you delete your message your parent won't know if you have written something bad or good." By JN The winning girl's poster was this one. "It is important to be safe in the internet because if you get an email from someone you do not know you should always tell an adult. Get an adult to see what it is and then delete it. Never open anything on the internet that you don't know about. If you find anything like messages or emails always lock it, block it, show it and tell it. Always tell an adult about new information. Always never go on inappropriate apps." by LR. Well done class 4C, you have a lot of knowledge of e-safety.

5M's Guide to E-safety!

To celebrate E-safety week, we have spent a lot of time in class discussing the apps, websites and forms of social media we like to use. We discussed how often we use them and what we use them for, including playing games, listening to music and chatting to friends. Most importantly, we talked about how we can ensure we stay safe using them and whilst we knew there were many things we must do, we have created a video to explain our top 5 tips for those who may be unsure! 

1S E-safety Week

This week the children were also learning how to keep themselves safe when going on-line both in school and at home. We discovered that when going online  we should not give out any important information such as which school we go to, our names, our address or our passwords.

More importantly if anything doesn't "feel right" we should tell an adult we trust and follow the rule:-

Lock it, Block it, Show it, Tell it.

The children designed their own posters to help remind themselves what to do.
