Safer Internet Day

Leave a comment

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.

Safer Internet Day in P5B

3 Comments

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?

Internet Safety in P1a

1 Comment

Last week as part of Internet Safety Week, P1a spent some time talking about the computers, laptops, tablets etc that we use at school and at home. We discussed how we  use them for different purposes such as research or playing games, and how we sometimes use the Internet to do these things. We also talked about the importance of looking after our devices, and taking care when we handle them. The next day we began exploring different types of Personal Information and we discussed whether or not we would share this with others, especially with people we don’t know. Then, we related this to keeping ourselves safe online by watching and discussing a short cartoon called ‘Hector’s World’.

Internet Safety with P.5/4

2 Comments

Primary 5/4 have been learning all about how to stay safe when using the internet.

We talked about all kinds of different situations you might find yourself in when online. Here’s an example:

Someone starts destroying your game or tries to kill off your character over and over again. What would you do?

Here are some of our ideas:

  • Tell an adult if you’re worried about it.
  • Report the player to the website so that they can deal with it.
  • Block the person from playing with you.
  • Only play with people that you already know.

Staying Safe Online

1 Comment

On Thursday, as part of internet safety week, P4 took part in activities about staying safe on the internet. We looked at the types of messages that can be sent to people online and got into groups to discuss how they made us feel. Our feelings ranged from curious to angry.

We watched some films that showed how photographs we put up online can get used by different people and we learnt how to block people we don’t know and how to report things we weren’t sure about.

Finally we got into our house groups and made posters about how to stay safe online.

We know lots of tips about staying safe, ask  us for our advice!

Be smart, Be like P7/6

1 Comment

This week P7/6 were learning about how to be safe on the internet. We used the Be like Bill concept and made up our own to create the perfect internet safety pupil.

This is P7/6.

We don’t post personal information on the internet.

We keep our password private and don’t talk to people we don’t know.

We don’t post photos of other people without their permission.

We are kind to our friends and don’t post cruel comments. We don’t post when we are going on holiday.

P7/6 are smart.

Be like P7/6.

P7 Internet Safety

2 Comments

On Tuesday the 9th of February it was Internet Safety Day. P7 took part in some activities based on Internet Safety. Miss Anderson gave us some cards with actions on them such as, you are annoyed, disagree with everyone, you are sad, agree with everyone. We then had to walk around the classroom and when someone spoke to you we had to act them out to create the online feel. Miss Anderson then showed us some online messages and comments,we then had to go to the emotion that it made us feel; upset, happy, curious, laugh it off, not bothered, angry and worried. We then discussed why the messaged made us feel a certain way. Finally we watched a video about the ‘Magna Carter’ ( a document that establishes the principle that everyone is subject to the law) of online rules. As a class we then thought about what rules we would like to see the internet have to ensure that everyone is safe online.

Safer Internet Day in P5

Learning Intention: We are learning how to stay safe online

Success Criteria: I can discuss the positive aspects of the internet and how I use it to help me learn

I can discuss the problems/dangers I might face online and how I might overcome these

I can create a poster to give hints and tips about how to stay safe online

To celebrate Safer Internet Day 2016, Primary 5 have been exploring some of the positive and negative aspects of the internet. We shared how we use the internet to help us with our learning, as well as using it to play online games and to stay in touch with our friends. We then discussed the dangers we might face when using the internet, and some of the ways we might overcome those to keep ourselves safe. We watched a video that highlighted the importance of keeping personal details about ourselves private online, and making sure that we only share information and pictures with the people we know and trust.  We then used this to help us to create a poster about online safety. We entered these posters into a West Lothian competition with the hope of being chosen to have our poster used to promote internet safety across the authority.

We also looked at Safer Internet Day’s campaign, ‘Play your part and share a heart.’ We discussed the issue of cyber bullying and how this can affect people, then decided to go on our school blog and #shareaheart by saying nice things about the learning and achievements in our school. At home, we also decided to share gifts with our friends on Sumdog, help each other to advance in games on Xbox, and we posted positive comments on a variety of different websites to make people feel good.

How will you play your part and #shareaheart to make the internet a nicer place?
