Safer Internet Day Tuesday 9th February 2021

In school we will be participating in Safer Internet Day - it would be great if Home Learners could participate too. From 11am on Tuesday 9th February you can access a 30minute lesson from BBC Teach. The focus is about knowing what information we can trust online and how to make this judgement.

There is a task sheet to go with it and a help guide that parents/carers/teachers can use.

Help Sheet

Internet we can Trust

This task sheet is designed for pupils to think about how we can be more careful online and consider what we can do to make Internet information reliable and how we can think about how we react to information.

If your leaner completes this task, please save it to return to school so it can be part of our school display.
