Dundee Clan – Safe Online

Dundee clan have been learning about how to stay safe online.  This week we took part in a live online lesson by BBC Teach for Safer Internet Day.  We became digital detectives and explored the exciting world of Artificial Intelligence.  The aim of the lesson was to support us in navigating our online world safely.

We learnt about:

Keeping our personal information private.

How to report concerns about content and contact, identify and assess risks and take steps to reduce them.

Use digital technologies to search, access and retrieve information and be aware that not all of this information will be credible.

Know how to ask for help when we need it from people they trust.

Be aware how to keep ourselves safe and secure

We were very surprised to learn that not all information on the internet is true.  We have to look-out for fake sites and information and now know to check information to ensure it is correct.

We created online posters to display our top tips to help others.

Stirling Clan 9.2.24

Hello Folks!

In Stirling clan we have been exploring how to keep ourselves safe online.

We set out the following goals:

  • I can discuss my online life.
  • I understand that my online presence requires me to have strategies for safe use.
  • I can identify adults that I trust and who can help when I have a worry or a question

We discussed how we use technology and the internet and voted for our favourite things to do, gaming and watching videos came out on top!

We then watched these clips:

Sharing Pictures (6 minutes)
Playing Games (9 minutes 15)
Both films available here: Jessie Friends videos (thinkuknow.co.uk)

This prompted a clan discussion around what rules we could have to make sure we are always safe when using the internet. We came up with the following rules:

1
People you don’t know are strangers.
When you are online or playing a game people are not always who they say they are.

2
Be nice to people.
Be as nice as you would be if you were in school or playing together.

3
Keep your personal information private.
Don’t tell people online where you live or the school you go to.
Never take a photo of you and send it to a stranger, even if they ask. Photos are also private.

4
If you ever get that feeling in your body that tells you something isn’t right, maybe you feel a bit worried, then tell an adult you trust.

We decided we wanted to create posters to remind of our rules in a fun and interesting way. We chose some posters to stay in our clan and then delivered other posters to P1-3 for them to use in their ICT areas.

Aberdeen: Safer Internet Day

Aberdeen clan celebrated Safer Internet Day on Tuesday 6th February. We watched a BBC Live Lesson which focused on technology of the future and provided an insight into the world of Artificial Intelligence (AI). We were amazed by the concept of driverless cars! We made notes and then created posters to share our new knowledge.

Aberdeen Clan: Local Legends

Aberdeen Clan have been learning about the history and recent changes to our local area. We enjoyed sharing our knowledge of East Calder landmarks and places of interest before plotting them on a map. Next, we will be using historical evidence to explore different types of housing in the area and compare the lives of people in the past with our own.

Dundee Clan Assembly

Dundee Clan performed their clan assembly, ‘Save the Rainforest’, today to the whole school and to our families.  Dundee clan have had a fantastic time learning all about the rainforest.  We have explored where rainforests are in the world, why they are so important, what the issues are affecting them and what we can do to support them.  We have loved exploring the rainforest and are sad that it is time to move on to new learning.  Some of the children are going to continue spreading the word and learn more, and have started a club together.  We hope everyone enjoyed our assembly today.  We enjoyed preparing it and performing it for everyone.  I wonder if our song is still stuck in your head!  We can’t stop singing it!

Dundee Trip and Enterprise

Dundee clan’s trip to Dynamic Earth was fantastic!  We enjoyed a tour around the centre finding out about our amazing planet.  We loved the 4D cinema, the planetarium and the rainforest section.  There was so much to explore.  We were also able to show off our knowledge about the rainforest in the rainforest workshop, showing the leader what we had already learnt in school.  Mrs Scobie was very impressed with everything that we had remembered.

We have absolutely loved working on our enterprise project creating Christmas craft to sell to other clans.  We decided on the crafts we wanted to make and sell, working together in groups (like little hard-working elves) to complete as many items as we could, alongside creating a persuasive poster and price list.  We have worked on skills which will support us as we journey through our lives such as teamwork, creativity, focus, concentration, resilience and perseverance.  We had a great time selling our crafts and used our skills of persuasion during the sale.

Dundee Christmas Party

Dundee Clan had a fantastic time at their Christmas party.  We created a playlist together with all of our favourite party tunes and loved dancing to them.  We played musical bumps and corners which was great fun.  We enjoyed some food and a drink together in the café which was well-deserved after all that dancing.  We are well and truly in the Christmas mood.
