Firstly, thank you so much to all parents who came to the online safety workshop on Wednesday. Online usage and presence is ever increasing, so ensuring children are safe online is, without a doubt, the most important thing they will learn in computing and real-life computer use.

This week, Year 5 and Year 6 held an Internet Safety Workshop. 

We discussed the impact of sharing personal information online and what is acceptable to share. The children and parents took part in searching for themselves online to see what their internet presence was like, in which we explored what is put online could have a positive or negative effect. Parents and children also took part in creating secure passwords to keep information safe. In addition to this, parents were given a take-home sheet with additional information on how to stay safe. The workshop allowed both children and parents to really think about practices they use online while staying safe!
