Safer Internet Day is an annual celebration held every February, calling on everyone to make the most of the internet's potential to bring people together, by joining forces to create a better internet, in particular for children and young people. This year, Safer Internet Day will be celebrated on Tuesday, 11 February 2020.
In Year 5 we watched a very thought-provoking video about Internet safety as part of Safer Internet day 2020.
The video, from CBBC Newsround, called Caught in the Web is a Newsround special programme all about staying safe on the internet. The video tells the story of a girl called Lost Princess, who gets into danger after meeting someone in a chatroom. It also provided lots of helpful advice and tips on how to be safe, and case studies of children with real-life experiences of how things can go wrong.
From this video, as a class, 5GC made posters, quizzes and information leaflets about how to be safe on-line and what to do if they feel awkward or uncomfortable. #freetobe #togetherforasaferinternet
