Work as a TEAM

At school, we encourage all of our children to ‘Be SMART’ when using technology and the internet. In order to keep children safe, the NSPCC encourages parents to talk openly and honestly about what they do online. Below is a video which explains how you can work as a T.E.A.M at home.

If you have questions about online safety or parental controls you could also call the NSPCC Online Safety Helpline as well (0808 8005002)

 

 

Fortnite

We want all of our children to be safe online and are aware of a game which is proving popular across the world. Fortnite is a multiplayer action survival game which can be played on a PC, a laptop, a console (Xbox, PlayStation) and can be downloaded from the app store. The game is proving to be very popular amongst children, but there are some growing safety concerns. Thanks to the NSPCC, we are delighted to provide our #IncredibleCommunity with a guide to the game. Click on the image below to follow their advice.

 

#NetAware

‘The internet is amazing. Children can play, learn, create and connect – opening up a whole world of exciting possibilities. But with the digital world changing all the time, how can you make sure your child’s staying safe?’ O2 and NSPCC have teamed up to help you keep children safe when they are using the internet, social networks, apps, games and more.

Our Year 6 children have reminded the whole school to be SMART when using technology over the holidays. Have a great Easter and stay safe everybody.

Safer Internet Day 2018 – A Better Internet Starts With You

Mr. Sandwith led a special assembly, including drama from Year 6, to remind the children about keeping themselves safe and making the right choices online. The key messages were: make others happy online; have fun safely using the internet and make sure to report anything that causes upset or worry.

Screen Shot 2016-07-21 at 09.40.40

We want all of our children to be safe online and are aware of a new game which is proving popular across the world. Pokémon Go is a game where you collect and trade creatures called Pokémon (Pocket Monsters). It’s one of the first popular games to use “augmented reality” – a kind of cross between real life and an online world. The game makes it look like Pokémon appear in real life places by using the GPS and camera on your phone. It’s already become a craze in Australia and America, and has made its way into the news across the world. Thanks to the NSPCC, we are delighted to provide our #IncredibleCommunity with a guide to the game. Click on the image above to follow their advice.

Stay Safe Online

Many thanks to Mr. Sandwith for delivering our regular eSafety update in Assembly. It was very reassuring to know that our children really do know how to behave online and crucially, what to do if they experience something unpleasant  or even inappropriate. The ‘SMART’ eSafety agenda spells out perfectly just how to behave when using the internet. We also share the 2016 eSafety Videos at the end of this clip, please watch them with your children and at all times stay safe online #IncredibleCommunity
