Safer Internet Day
On Safer Internet Day 2017, P1 were developing their understanding of what is meant by personal information. They were also learning that this information is private and should be kept safe.
SC I can give examples of what personal information is
I can make choices about the information I share with others
We began by looking at some photographs, and we were amazed at how many clues we could get about something or someone just by looking at a photograph. We started thinking about the kind of information we could see, and realised that we have similar information about ourselves – name, age, address, school etc. In small groups we discussed whether other people, especially people we don’t know, should know this kind of information about us. We decided they should not. This personal information should be private. To consolidate our thinking, we then worked together to sort some photographs into two hoops – personal information that should be kept private, or information that could be shared. Lots of good discussion could be heard as we worked on this task.
Later, we made an ‘All About Me’ poster showing information about ourselves that we were happy to share with others eg my favourite colour, my favourite book etc. We all remembered not to put any private information on our poster, and we were all happy to show our posters to each other.
P2/1 Internet Safety Day
As part of Internet Safety Day P2/1 explored 5 different questions:
- How do we get on to the internet?
- What can we do on the internet?
- What passwords do we use?
- Why is a password important?
- How can we keep our passwords safe?
We explored the questions in group, and then made a poster. we presented our ideas to the rest of our class.

Safer Internet Day in P5B
To mark Safer Internet Day 2017, Primary 5B have been learning about the power of sharing images online. We watched a video which challenged our thinking about first impressions of images, and encouraged us to think that there can be more than meets the eye with pictures we see online. We looked at a range of different images and were asked if we thought they were real or fake. This proved to be harder than we thought it would be!
Next, we were given a range of scenarios and asked to react in a freeze frame. We had to explain our reactions, giving real life examples if we could, as well as sharing how these made us feel.
Finally, we took part in a game of Emoji Charades where we had to share a top tip about how to make the internet a better place using only emojis. Can you guess our top tips?
