Online Safety Assembly by Google

Date: 12th Dec 2018 @ 8:39pm

Today the children in the junior department had a fantastic, interactive assembly by Google. They talked about their new scheme called ‘Be Internet Legends’. This teaches the children about how to stay safe online through five key areas:

Sharp - Think before you share

Alert - Check it’s for real

Secure - Protect your stuff

Kind - Respect each other

Brave - When in doubt, discuss

The children were reminded about how to play the game ‘Interland’ where they can visit different worlds and learn how to stay safe online.

Well done to all the children, you all joined in really well!
