Year 4
Online Safety
September:
In year 4 the children will be talking about technology and life online. We discuss the importance of personal information – what is it, and the importance of not sharing it online. We will also discuss social media, having a healthy profile and looking after our well-being.
Safer Internet Day - SID – is on the 11th February 2020.
The focus this year will be “Together for a Better Internet".
The children will be doing age appropriate workshops the entire week.
Online safety is embedded in all the children's units
