Online Safety Week 2018
It is Online Safety week on the week commencing 5th February 2018. All children will be participating in online safety activities throughout the week in school. The motto this year is:
Create, Connect and Share Respect
A better internet starts with you
In a world where technology is part of our daily lives, it is important that children know how to stay safe online! We will attach documents, links and videos to this page to help you and your family stay safe online.
NEW - Staying Safe Online - Your digital footprint.
In computing we will be using a scheme called ‘Switched on Computing’. E-safety is embedded throughout each topic in the scheme and some of the topics completely focus on being safe with technology. We hope this will raise the profile of e-safety in school and give the children confidence in being safe online.
The e-safety roadmaps for each year group can be seen below:
Information & Online Resources
Children have the knowledge to use technology, but often do not have the wisdom to use it appropriately. By contrast, many adults have the widsom, but not the knowledge. By talking to children about using technology wisely we can help to protect them.
