Year 5 – Unit 5.4 We are protecting our online reputation

The children in year five have been learning about the best ways of protecting their online reputation by developing strategies to avoid posting inappropriate content online. All the children have been asked to undertake a web search with their grown-ups at home about a member of their family (or someone famous, if more appropriate) to find out what information is available about these individuals. Please support them in their learning and contact the school if you need help in completing this task.

Year 3 Online Safety - We are aware of our digital footprint!

The children in year three have been learning what is meant by a ‘digital footprint’ and how data about their internet activity is collected passively without them actively authorising this and how this compares with their active digital footprint. 
They have discussed how everything shared on the internet can be found, shared, broadcast and copied and that it lasts forever. Please discuss this with your child and support them in keeping a diary of their family digital footprint at home.

Year 4 are Online Risk Managers!

​The children in year four have been finding out ways that people might try to steal our personal information such as hacking, phishing or the use of viruses. All children have been asked to talk to their parents about these risks and share a family action plan they have created to help everyone in your household to protect personal information. Please support their learning by looking at and adding to this action plan where appropriate.

Year 1 – Unit 1.4

The online safety unit this half term has been about the different ways people communicate online and what is meant by ‘personal information.’

The children have learnt that anyone online that they don’t know in real life is a stranger and what to do if someone online asks them for personal information. The children will be bringing home a Family Online Action Plan – please discuss this and fill it in with your child.
