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!

Our team consists of the following representatives:
Year 5 - Andrew, Franzi, Carmel, Alice and Lucas
Year 6 - Eva, Sinead, Victoria, Noel and Aaron
The first task the team were given was to design a poster about staying safe online. You may see some of these on the classroom windows and doors around the Year 5 and 6 corridor. Next, the leaders have designed a survey for their respective year groups and are currently in the process of getting these completed and analysed.
Keep up the hard work Digital Leaders!
