Safer Internet Day 9th February 2016





We started the day by watching Newsround for Early Morning Work, followed by a SID assembly by Miss Smiles. In the afternoon we paired up to talk about different scenarios and what children and their parents should do to stay safe on the Internet.

What do the social media companies say?

Snapchat wouldn't speak to Newsround about the survey.
Instagram wouldn't do an interview but told us: "Keeping the community safe on Instagram is our number one priority and we spend a lot of time thinking about it... we require anyone on Instagram to be over the age of 13".
YouTube wouldn't do an interview either, but stressed that the site is for people aged 13 and over.
And Facebook said they'd be happy to do an interview as long as we didn't ask them about under 13s, which we wouldn't agree to.

Then it was time for parent child role play. We wrote the scripts, rehearsed and filmed the mini plays using iMovie. 

Here is a sample -

Child - Mum can I talk to you?
Mum- Sit down and we can have a chat.
Child - Mum I am really worried. Someone has asked me to meet them at the park. What should I do? What should I say? I don't know them.
Mum - first of all you are too young to go out on your own and if you don't know them, don't reply. 
Child - They have a weird user name, it's pickle1234, I think it's suspicious and I am scared. 
(Shows Mum the phone)
(Mum nods)
Mum - You are not going, even with me. Block them and ignore.
(They smile)
Both - Happy times selfie!!
(They take a selfie)
