We are Internet Legends!

Today we were fortunate enough for Google and ParentZone to visit our school and talk to us about being safe online. They led a fantastic assembly and taught us the importance of staying safe when we are using the internet. We took a visit or Interland and explored the five following pillars:

• Be Internet Sharp: This taught us what we can and can't share online and we thought about others feelings. 

• Be Internet Alert: We looked at scams online known as 'phishing' and thought about the information we share. If it looks too good to be true, it probably is!

• Be Internet Secure: We learnt how to keep our passwords safe and looked a not using easy to guess passwords.

• Be Internet Kind: We learnt how to be kind online. We should always be kind to people we meet online just like we should be kind to them in real life. 

• Be Internet Brave: We now know how to take a stand online and report or block people when they upset us. We also looked at the importance of speaking to parents/carers or anyone who looks after us at home if we feel unsafe online.

We were told that children can play a great game online provided by Google to refresh their minds on these at any time. They can access the game here: https://beinternetlegends.withgoogle.com/en_uk/interland

After, we discussed how we were going to stay safe online in the future and the children were full of great ideas! Remember, use what you have learnt today to keep yourself safe!
