Issue #17 – 09/02/17 – Safer Internet Day

[heading]Safer Internet Day[/heading]

Dear Parents,

February 6th 2018 was Safer Internet Day, a day that is very important to our school and pupils. Safer Internet Day is celebrated across Europe and is a partnership between Childnet, Internet Watch Foundation, Insafe-INHOPE network and SWGfL.

In the UK, Safer Internet Day is organised by the UK Safer Internet Centre (www.saferinternet.org.uk). The aim is to celebrate the many positives of the internet,and to raise awareness of the issues that children and young people face online today.

During Internet Safety Day each class spent a lesson looking at an aspect of internet safety relevant to their year group, including a Year 6  LCLC workshop on fake news. Year 3 made posters reminding their friends about how to stay safe online.

We believe that internet safety education is a crucial element of the curriculum and an essential part of young people’s development. To help support this, I have included a link to some helpful resources including fact sheets, activities and conversation starters. This resource pack can be downloaded for free here:

Yours sincerely,

Mr Morrell
