This week in class and in Assembly we have been learning how to stay safe online, in preparation for Safer Internet Day next week. We talked about all the things we enjoy doing on the internet, but agreed that sometimes we might see or hear something we don’t like. We learned that it is important to talk to an adult if we see something which makes us feel uncomfortable. We looked at age ratings on apps and games and were very surprised by some of them!

We also found out about the work of a Cybersecurity expert. We had a go at writing a computer algorithm to find a secret number on Scratch. We used this website to investigate what makes a good password. We found that using a mix of letters, symbols and numbers made the best passwords.

In Literacy, we created our own mythical creatures, based on the work we have been doing on Scottish myths and legends. We wrote fact files about our imaginary creatures.

Here is Eilidh’s Lapushka Wolf factfile.
