We are learning … about what the internet is and how we can stay safe while using it.
P1 talked about what we knew about the internet, how it worked and what it looked like. We found it very hard to describe it and lots of us thought it was a bit like electricity. We watched a video about it and were able to explain that:
- it can be made of wires or wireless using satellites.
- It can send messages across the world.
- Phones, cars, computers, televisions all use it.
We heard a story about some children playing a computer game against each other when some things popped up on screen. We suggested that the children should ask a grown up if they weren’t sure. This is called asking permission and is a very important way to stay safe online.
Mrs McJimpsey was very impressed to hear lots of stories about times that P1 have asked for permission when using the internet.
