Safer Internet Day in 3C

We had lots of fun celebrating Safer Internet Day in 3C. We spoke about our personal and online identity. We also discussed how to stay safe online and recapped our E-safety guide- Lock it, Block it, Show it, Tell it! Then we made some presentations to inform others how to stay safe online.

E Safety Day in 3H

Today, 3H spent the morning discussing how to stay safe online. We spoke about our online identity and how we all have the right to be happy and safe when using devices and going online. After these discussions, we created story boards to show how we stay safe online. Some of us used Comic Life to create information posters about effective passwords.

E-Safety Day in Year 1

In Year 1 we have been reminding ourselves of our e-safety charter, discussing what each point means and the importance of e-safety .

Our motto is lock it, block it, show it, tell it.  

We learnt about 'Smartie the Penguin' and his adventures whilst on his new computer. We helped him, at each stage, to make the right choice:

- tell your adult

- block the message from a stranger

- do not open pop-ups

We also learnt a new song to remind Smartie of how to behave and keep safe on the computer.

'Before you click, click, click

You need to think, think, think

Then tell someone.

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!

What is the internet?..

On 'Internet Safety day' 1L practised and recalled the meanings of: ‘Lock it, Block it, Show it, Tell it' when using a computer or tablet.

They discussed issues that can arise when playing games on their computers, tablets and at school. They agreed: they should not talk to strangers online, they do not buy things online without asking an adult first and they do not tell others their passwords.

Also they talked about and drew their answers to the question:

What does the internet look like?

Safer Internet Day in 4C

Tuesday 5th February was Safer Internet Day. 

In 4C we had a class discussion about how we need to give and receive permission for many things online, at home and at school.

We also tried an exercise where we had to draw first an apple, then a dog, then the internet. We found out that the apples looked very similar. The dogs all had 4 legs and a tail, but didn't all look as similar as the apples. These are both real objects. Then we tried to draw the internet. A lot of people had a screen and the word Google, but every one was different. Mrs Williams took a photo of our drawings of each but the iPad would not let her upload them to this blog post!

 After that, we looked at different scenarios such as being asked to play a game with a 12+ rating and we discussed what we would do. 

We read through the Shirley Warren E-Safety Charter and agreed we would follow it.

Safer Internet Day 2019 - 1S

As part of our celebration of Safer Internet Day we decided to try and draw "The Internet." It soon became clear that "The Internet" meant different things to different people. Some of us thought we could use it to watch TV. Others thought we could use it to play games with our friends. A few suggested we could use it to send photographs or emails to people. We all knew it was something that we could use to communicate with each other. We also reminded ourselves of the rules about asking adults for permission and help when going on-line.  We just couldn't work out exactly what it was, so we decided to have a go at building our own.

First of all we made our own device such as a tablet, a phone, a games console, even washing machines and light bulbs. It's amazing what you can turn a paper cup into !

We spoke into our devices but soon realised there was no reply. We were all on our own and couldn't communicate with one another. A few of us decided to join all the devices on our own table together with string ( network cables)  and then we found we could talk to all the other devices on our table.

That was fine until we thought there might be interesting conversations going on at other tables. So, to find out what was going on around the whole room we connected all the devices on all the tables together with our string so that we could all communicate together.

Before long we had built our very own internet and had discovered that the internet is basically a lot of devices joined together by cables so that they can all speak to one another.

This also makes a lot of noise !!!

Next we're off to investigate the "magic" of Wi-Fi !

3N Safer Internet Day

We learnt a lot on safer Internet day about the importance of being safe online and who we talk to on our favourite games that we like to play. We know that we should show our adults if anyone we don't know tries to speak to us and 'lock it, block it, show it, tell it'! 

Safer Internet Day in 2S!

We had great fun yesterday learning all about connections online. How are we connected? Who to? We made a class 'web' of connections. Some of the people, places and things we were connected to linked to other people's plates, making an even bigger web! This is just like the internet. What fun we had!

Year 1 are being good friends on the internet.

On Safer Internet day Year 1 talked about using the internet safely whilst playing games or using You Tube, and if children saw anything scary, upsetting or unkind to...

Lock it, Block it, Show it, Tell it. 

Ask your child to show you the actions to help them remember this.

The day's activities and discussions helped them analyse online behaviour.

So that they could identify the best ways that they could keep themselves safe when they are online.

Also they created a pledge of what they will do to be a good friend, on a puzzle piece.

Some suggestions from the children were to...

'Not laugh at others falling down'

'Be kind to our friends'

'Never say unkind words about people's work'

Safer Internet Day: Advice

As you know, today was 'Safer Internet Day.'  The children spent the day taking part in activities and discussions to help them analyse their online behaviour so that they could identify the best ways that they could keep themselves safe when they are online.

To help you support your child in this, we have included information from the 'Safer Internet Day' website which is specifically aimed at parents.

3S' Safer Internet Day

Today, we started to explore the theme for Safer Internet Day 'Create, connect and show respect: A better internet starts with you' We watched a video, which told us all about sharing our personal information online. We thought the girl in the video made some very bad decisions and we thought of ways that we could have helped her if we were her friend. Then we completed a quiz in which we did really well! We completed a puzzle piece about how we would be a good friend and created a wristband of the good deed we were going to do today! We are SMART safe on the internet :)

2J Do Safer Internet Day!

This morning, we learned all about this year's theme for Safer Internet Day - "A Better Internet Starts With You." 

We thought about how were connected to different places because this is a bit how the internet works. We used pictures, paper plates, drawings and lots and lots of wool. We are definitely connected in 2J!! After that, we made a promise about how we could be a good friend on the internet. 

KS1 Safer Internet Day Assembly

It's Safer Internet Day today! Here we are in our KS1 assembly this morning finding out all about the day. We practised "Lock it, Block it, Show it, Tell it" to remind us what we need to do to keep ourselves safe.

Can you guess our e-safety emoji messages?

Safer Internet Day in Year 6

Year 6 have been busy developing their understanding of how to keep themselves safe online for Safer Internet Day!

 Firstly, we looked at pictures which had been edited to change them, and talked about how what we see online may not be genuine. Then, we talked about our own experiences of keeping ourselves safe. We decided that we should never follow or accept requests from anyone we don't know, and that any accounts must always be locked with a password and kept to 'private'. We looked at Cinderella's online profile - there was so much information we could learn about her!

We have made excellent quizzes on E-Safety using Google Slides. In particular, we practiced making our slides link using clickable buttons! Here is an example of one of our quizzes. Unfortunately we cannot play it on the blog, but you can see the types of questions we asked!

Remember: lock it, block it, show it and tell it!

Safer Internet Day

I dropped in to see Year 4 who were making e-safety posters and writing 'pledges' - some terrific ideas and work. Then had a chance to attend the e-safety assembly demonstrating the work everyone has done across the school on this important part of life!

Shirley Warren's Online Pledges!

As a school, we have been celebrating 'Safer Internet Day' and as part of that, every child has made an online pledge. Here is a photo of every child with their pledge. The children are taking responsibility for their safety, and know it is their right to be safe whilst enjoying all the advantages that the internet offers them.

Safer internet day in Year 6

Today we have been learning about how to stay safe on the Internet.

We wrote our own lyrics to Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off" including the chorus 

"Be careful what you post, post, post, post

Cause you don't want anyone to know, know, know, know

I'm just gonna take, take, take, take, take

Take it off

Cause the gamers gonna game game game game

And the others do the same, same, same, same

Hey I'm just gonna lock, block, show and tell."

Here is a photo of us all performing the song.

Can you spot the selfie on the phone?

E-Safety in RS

We have been learning about how to stay safe when using the Internet. It is important to be nice to people on the computer like you would be on the playground. If something pops up on the screen that we are unsure about we know to:

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