Year 6 Safer Internet Day!

Yesterday, on 10th February, was this year’s Safer Internet Day when children around the country learn about cyber bullying and how to be safer on the internet!

In our school we celebrate this with lots of learning activities. In Year 6 we have been creating digital superheroes and then placing these characters into a comic strip! Some of the amazing characters were: CEOP Clare (This is because CEOP protects children on the internet.) Also another great character name was ‘cookie man’ – because website use cookies. We had lots of fun making these!

The next thing we did was put these characters into action! We created outstanding comic strips where our heroes used their super powers to help children, like us, when they’re feeling worried, upset or even scared.

Also we created a Year 6 E-safety Code which included all of our ideas to keep happy online and make sure the internet is an enjoyable place for everyone. We promised to respect other people when browsing and to NEVER do anything inappropriate - like posting silly pictures of other people and ourselves. We especially learnt not to post any private information or meet up with someone we don’t know in real life!

Another activity we enjoyed was an interactive e-safety assembly by Mr. Setchell. We answered some questions to test our knowledge of being safe online (everyone did really well).

Finally, we watched some Newsround special reports. We learnt the stories of other peers across the country and how they became safer online.

Now we know how to be safe and we will know what to do if we ever get into a serious situation or even have a small issue on the web!
