Childline Assembly
This Wednesday representatives from Childline visited the school to speak to Year 5 and 6 pupils in an assembly. They introduced their mascot, Buddy and talked to the children about what they could do if they were worried or upset about something. They explained that sometimes carrying around lots of worries is like carrying a heavy sack, and a good way to lighten the load is to talk to someone.
The children learnt that Childline was available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year and there would always be someone available to talk to about any worries, big or small.
The children also identified trusted adults that they could speak to if they had concerns.

Safer Internet Day
Today was Safer Internet Day, and we held a SHARE morning to which parents were invited to find out how we teach E-Safety in school.
We began the session by watching this video produced in 2009 to outline the reasons why we teach ICT in schools.
This was followed by a session in which we discussed our online activities. We watched a video about the five SMART rules:
Then the children and adults discussed a range of scenarios and how they would react in each situation.
Finally, our digital leaders gave a brief presentation to sum up what we had learnt during the course of the morning.
Thank you to the parents who came. I hope you enjoyed the morning. If you have any further questions about how we teach e-safety, please don't hesitate to contact the school or for more information on keeping your children safe online, visit www.thinkuknow.co.uk/parents
We began the session by watching this video produced in 2009 to outline the reasons why we teach ICT in schools.
- S - Safe: Keep safe by being careful not to give out personal information when you’re chatting or posting online. Personal information includes your email address, phone number and password.
- M - Meeting: Meeting someone you have only been in touch with online can be dangerous. Only do so with your parents’ or carers’ permission and even then only when they can be present. Remember online friends are still strangers even if you have been talking to them for a long time.
- A - Accepting: Accepting emails, IM messages, or opening files, pictures or texts from people you don’t know or trust can lead to problems – they may contain viruses or nasty messages!
- R - Reliable: Someone online might lie about who they are and information on the internet may not be true. Always check information with other websites, books or someone who knows. If you like chatting online it’s best to only chat to your real world friends and family.
- T - Tell: Tell your parent, carer or a trusted adult if someone or something makes you feel uncomfortable or worried, or if you or someone you know is being bullied online.
Then the children and adults discussed a range of scenarios and how they would react in each situation.

Safer Internet Day
Today saw a range of activities taking place to develop awareness of using the internet safely.
It started with Mr Mansell leading an assembly about different uses of a computer (list being compiled below) and which information was personal, and which wasn't (children below making their decisions a la 'Runaround'!)
In Yellow Class, the children used 'Hector's House' as a resource to develop the children's understanding of people not always being who or what they say they are.
They also looked at the different emotions that can be displayed by people at various times and what may cause them.
Finally, they looked at forms of cyberbullying and how important it is to keep our personal information safe so that this cannot be used by others.
In blue class we began the day thinking about what constitutes personal information and what information is safe to share online.
After break we looked at some examples of emails and discussed how we would respond to them. We learnt to recognise spam mail, chain letters and phishing, and talked about how people can use these to obtain personal details such as your bank account number or email addresses of your contacts.
In the afternoon we watched a video about being SMART online. They learnt that to be SMART, you must keep your personal details Safe; You should not Meet up with online friends; Accepting email from people you don't know can be dangerous; People and information you come across online may not always be Reliable; and if something on the internet makes you feel uncomfortable, you should Tell a trusted adult.
The children discussed a range of scenarios and what advice they would give in each situation.
We finished the day by producing posters reminding us of the rules we had learnt.
