LI to explain what is meant by fake news
We shared some news headlines - some real and some invented. Can you tell the difference? Sometimes the information seems really silly but sometimes it is hard to work it out. We watched BBC Newsround. We talked about...What if some of the information was deliberately not true? How would you feel?

23.11.22
LI to describe methods used to encourage people to buy things online
LI to explain why lots of people sharing the same opinions or beliefs online do not make them true
The class shared the lesson from National Online Safety and in conjunction with PSHE talked about how persuasion can be powerful. How content providers online use celebrities (singers, footballers, TV stars, YouTubers), fashion, emotions and special offers to persuade adults and children to like, use and buy products. This can also lead to peer pressure to like the same things.
Health, wellbeing and lifestyle
12.10.22
LI To explain how using technology can be a distraction from other things
In a joint lesson with our PSHE we talked about things we're good at, our future selves. The pupils started to consider barriers to them gaining the skills or knowledge they need to reach their goals. Some jobs need good tech skills but don't - so they talked about their spare time and hobbies helping or getting in the way.

Online bullying
30.09.22
LI I can describe ways people can be bullied through a range of media
First we talked about what bullying can be. We use our class display to recall the meaning. We also talked about, that while people may act like a bully they may not 'be' a bully all of the time and there may be reasons why people act like bullies. Telling someone will help us but might also be good for them.
In the real world bullying can be:
Then we thought about how bullying would be done in cyber space. It would be the same as real bullying, but use words and pictures. It may also mean our devices are 'hacked' or misused. And also may be hard to escape, as our devices are around at home.
What should you do?
1) Don't respond.
2) Screen grab or screen shot - don't delete.
3) Tell a trusted adult.
Self-image and identity
23.09.22
to explain how my online identity can be different from my offline identity
We explored what makes our identity.
Next, we watch the lesson video, which raised ideas about when it is acceptable and when it is wise to be cautious about how people portray themselves online.
Pupils are encouraged to always seek help if they are uncomfortable about time online.
20.09.22
to revisit our online responsibilities
Today we read, talked about and signed our agreement to use online resources appropriately.
