This week, all of our classes celebrated Safer Internet Day. This year’s theme was ‘It’s Good to Talk About Life Online’. With this in mind, all of our classes discussed what we do online and the different things we enjoy. It was great to hear from our children about the diverse range of things they enjoy, including coding, gaming and communicating with friends and family. We also talked about staying safe while enjoying these activities, discussing who we could talk to if something happens online that makes us feel uncomfortable, how they can help and what will happen next.
