Safer Internet Day in the Junior Department

Today the children in our school supported Safer Internet Day. The day started with an assembly by Mrs Needham who taught the KS2 department about what it means to consent to something and how we should ask permission before doing something online.

After, the digital leaders acted out some drama scenes which showed some incorrect behaviours online. The children then made suggestions about what should have happened.

All the children received their own St Vincent’s orange wristband to remind them of the messages from the day!

Each child also made a pledge about how they are going to behave online. You can see these displayed on the classroom windows. 

Other activities the children completed were: a safer internet survey, an online choices quiz, drawing the internet activity and data jargon buster.

The Year 5 & 6 children had a fantastic workshop this afternoon by Ian Richardson from Intqual Pro. He taught the children about how to behave online, how to keep a safe password and just how many devices are connected to the internet including pillows and toasters!!! The session was ended with an interactive quiz and prizes. Well done to the winners and thank you to Ian Richardson and Barry Searle from Intqual Pro.

The day ended with the Digital leaders all receiving a GOLD note to thank them for all their effort and hard work over the last few weeks in preparation for today!

We hope all the children have enjoyed the day and learned lots about consent and correct behaviours when online.

Good luck to all the children in completing their ‘What would you do?’ homework.
