Keeping children safe online
A really useful website has been created by the NSPCC and O2. Visit nspcc.org.uk/o2 for information about online safety. If you prefer to talk to someone, they have a helpline - 0808 800 5002. They provide advice and support on parental controls, privacy settings, social networks and more.

Resources and examples of work for Classes 1 to 6
Class 1 & 2
In class 1 and 2 we have been learning….
- To keep myself safe online.
- To say kind things about my friends.
- What is private information and what not to share with others.
- What to do if I see something uncomfortable on line
To help us learn these important messages we have watched the Lee and Kim video and read Smartie the Penguin’s story:

Class 3

As part of Safer Internet Day, Class 3 have learned all about having a safe password. We found out that a good password must be memorable and at least 8 characters long. It also should include a capital letter, number and a symbol. Click here to check how secure your password is!
Class 4
Internet Safety Week
‘I can keep myself safe online’
In class we have revisited our learning on e-safety. Everyone has remembered the importance of keeping personal information private, having secure passwords, and telling an adult immediately if we see or hear anything inappropriate or that makes us feel uncomfortable.
To help us be aware of how we might be drawn into giving away personal information, we used our coding skills to create Scratch animations where one sprite (the baddie) approached another sprite (the goodie) online. first to play a game, but then to ask ‘friendly’ questions which might lead to someone giving details about their real life. Our good sprites were alert, and politely refused to pass on any personal information. We know to be alert and aware when chatting online, and how to respond appropriately.
‘I can make positive comments about others’
We spent time this week thinking about what we say to others, both in person and online. We recognise that, even if we don’t know a person, the comments that we say or write about them can deeply effect how that person feels. Unkind words, said in anger, frustration or even as a joke can have a massive impact on a person’s self-esteem. Kind words can make a person feel cared for, important, appreciated and safe. When speaking or writing about others, we will always try to remember this poem:
Before you speak
Think and be smart
It’s hard to smooth
A wrinkled heart
Class 5
Class 5 have been using the thinkuknow.co.uk cybercafe to analyse how we can stay safe online when conducting searches, creating personal online space and using email safely.
We have devoted time to creating example profiles for social networking websites that show children what is acceptable information to display on the internet. They also show what sort of pictures are safe to share, and who they should be shared with.
Class 6
CEOP Film : Jigsaw: for 8 -10 year olds on YouTube
