Protecting Yourself and Others from Scams Online
Today, the school E-safety Committee, along with Mrs Blower, led an assembly to introduce Internet Safety day. The focus is protecting yourself and others from online scams. We discussed what a scam is and what you should do if you think you are being scammed.
We had a super Science and Technology day using LEGO to build our rollercoasters. First of all, we used the LEGO to build our track and then we tested our rollercoaster from the launcher to see if it would stay on the track.
We then used LEGO We do to program a sensor which had a windmill attached to it. We put our sensor next to the track and every time the rollercoaster went past the sensor, the windmill would spin.
This morning we held our first E-Safety council meeting of the year. We checked that classes had signed and displayed their Acceptable Use Agreements and we discussed apps that children use. We had a quiz on the age restrictions of apps that children use outside of school.
As part of our Mantle, we have been looking at creating some new Olympic Games that are inclusive to everyone and include a Micro:bit as part of their game. Once the games were created and instructions written, we all had a go and invited pupils from the school to have a go and review the new games.
We worked hard to follow instructions and create some bots on some new Lego coding kits. We found this hard work ,but great perseverance and problem solving skills were demonstrated!
Year One Coding Club had a great time in pre-school teaching the children how to use their new codable mouse. Bendigedig Pawb!
The E-Safety Council enjoyed feeding back to Mrs Spencer about Safer Internet Day 2024. We shared the focus of the day, changes online, and spoke about our whole school assembly and activities classes had carried out over the course of the day.
As part of Dosbarth Gwennol’s work for Safer Internet Day the children took part in two activities this morning. The first was to read the story of Mog and Jo. Mog and Jo were two children that loved to play games online. However, one day they saw something that worried them. Luckily they told a trusted adult what was worrying them. We discussed the importance of always telling an adult if something makes us feel worried or uncomfortable.
Our second activity was to express a range of feelings caused by technology and the Internet.
We had a productive meeting where the main focus was Safer Internet day on 6th February 2024. We looked at the resources and discussed a whole-school assembly for that day. We also audited ‘Acceptable Use Agreements’ and ensured that all classes were displaying theirs, which they were!
Today we held our first E-safety Council meeting of the year. Meet our new council.
Meet the new chair and vicechair of the E-Safety Council.
