Online Safety
Always be careful when you are using the internet. It can help you to keep in touch with your friends and help your education – but it can also cause harm – to you and to others.
Remember help is always available at school if you are having any problems online. Don’t be afraid to talk to your teacher or another adult at school.
During Internet Safety Day and Children's Mental Health Week 2023, some of Year 5 made a helpful video of how to stay safe online.
