Today we looked at being respectful online and how sometimes when we write something it can be easily misunderstood. We edited an email and thiught about the different ways this could be interpreted by who is reading it. We discussed how once we said something it is out there and cannot be taken back, when we use email there is always a trace of this.

Today’s session was all about buying things and the pull of company advertising to make us think we need things that actually we probably don’t. We had a look on different websites aimed at children their age that are there for the purpose of getting children’s attention and making them feel like they need the different products. We also looked at some of the tricks and techniques they use to make deals seems like good ones and finally had a go at making some of their own persuasive advertisements.

Today year three learnt all about their online communities and the people they connect with online through the internet, apps and game consoles. We learnt all about the benefits of having these connections but also ways to keep ourselves safe. Discussing what to do if someone we don’t know tries to contact us. We looked at all the great things we can do with the internet as well and how we can use this online community to our own benefit.

Next week is Internet Safety Week and the children will have the chance to enter a competition, ask them what they have been asked to do, you may even be able to give them some winning ideas!

Year three have started their sessions in E-Safety, learning how to keep ourselves protected whilst using technology. Today’s focus was in making Safe passwords and understanding why we need our passwords to be safe. The questionnaire was an eye opener for the children when a lot of them found that their passwords were not safe. We made safer combination passwords and then out them to the test in a game.
We hope that the children will make these changes to stay safe online and that parents at home will support them with this.

Today the children had a visit from UNICEF to teach them all about nutrition and eating right. We learnt about the things we need to put in our bodies and those things we should avoid. The children got to see and understand that some people are not lucky enough to have the food that we have and what happens to us if we do not get the right food and nutrition. The children all really enjoyed it and learnt lots of new things. Thank you UNICEF

We had a great time today completing role play and freeze frame moments whilst telling the story of the Shepherd’s and the angels. We worked in groups of 3 to take on various roles of characters within the story and had some budding actors among us.
