Staying Safe Online

We celebrated Safer Internet Day 2017 this week. Keeping safe online is extremely important to us at St. Vincent's and so is always at the forefront of our minds. We welcomed Carl Buchanan, a local Community Safety Officer, and considered how we can be respectful and respected whilst using the internet as well as the potential hazards we could face. He also explained the different types of cyber-bullying including trickery, harrassment and outing.

Back in class, children looked at the power of images and the perception they can give. They were also asked to think about how they can make a diffference and make a change for the better. To follow-up the activities from this week, the Year 6 Digital Leaders are in the process of making a movie of cyber-bullying scenarios, the aim of this to educate and generate further discussion. 

Remember: Don't be a bully, be a BUDDY!
