Today, the children took part in Safer Internet Day, exploring the theme: Too Good to Be True? Protecting Yourself and Others from Scams Online.

The children had some fantastic discussions about what a scam is and how to stay safe when using the internet. Sometimes things online can look real but might not be what they seem—especially messages, adverts, or offers that seem too good to be true!

To help them remember how to respond safely, the children learned the three key steps:

🔎 Spot it – Look carefully! If something seems unusual, like a prize you didn’t enter a competition for or a message from someone you don’t know, it could be a scam.

🚫 Avoid it – Don’t click on links, open messages, or share personal details if you’re unsure. Always be cautious!

📢 Report it – If something doesn’t feel right, tell a trusted adult straight away. Grown-ups can help check whether something online is safe.

Through stories, role-play, and discussions, the children gained a better understanding of how to be safe online. We were so impressed with their thoughtful responses and their growing confidence in recognising online dangers!

Keeping our children safe online is a shared responsibility, and we encourage families to continue these conversations at home. Together, we can make the internet a safer place for everyone!
