Computing - Online Safety
 

This week, our Computing focused on online safety and helping children understand how the internet can affect people’s feelings. As part of our computing curriculum, we begin every half term with an online safety lesson to reinforce the importance of using technology responsibly and respectfully. During this lesson, the children explored how messages, images and comments shared online can influence emotions, making people feel happy, included, worried or upset. They remembered that they should tell their parent or another trusted adult if they are upset or worried by anything they see or read online.

Through discussion and examples, the pupils learned that words typed online can have just as much impact as words spoken face to face. They learnt that permission needs to be sought from someone before sharing content that includes them. They talked about the importance of being kind, thoughtful and respectful when using the internet, and how to recognise when something online might not make them or others feel comfortable. This lesson helped children develop empathy and a better understanding of how their online behaviour can affect others.
