Tuesday was ‘Safer Internet Day’ and we spent some time discussing what we can do to stay safe online. We discussed who we play with online and what we like to play. In pairs we came up with things others can do to make us feel good or happy online. We came up with things like … inviting us to play a game, complimenting something we have made online or posting something nice. We also came up with things that others might do online that might make us feel bad such as insult us or exclude us from games but invite others. We discussed why others might do this and we came up with some good suggestions. We watched a clip about what we can do when something worries us online and the most important thing to do is to TELL a trusted adult. Doing nice things for friends strengthens real and online friendships but we don’t have to put up with anything that upsets us online. We will look more at using the internet and staying safe online this term.
