Yellow class - Introducing The Beebot

In computing today we were introduced to a Beebot. We discussed what might be inside a Beebot and how it might work. We thought about electrical items that can be found at home such a microwave, a fridge, an electric toothbrush, etc. We learnt that all of these devices can be controlled using buttons and switches just like a Beebot. We each had a turn to follow certain instructions from Miss Sacco to direct the Beebot along a certain path.

Mobile Safety Tips - PARENTS

Mobile Phone Safety

• Remember if you are being bullied it isn’t your fault and there is nothing so awful that you can’t speak to someone about it.  Talk to a trusted adult at home or at school.
• Don’t reply to any nasty messages you receive.
• Don’t reply to a text from someone you don’t know.
• Keep the messages you have been sent so you can show them to a trusted adult and make a note of the time and date of the messages or calls you receive.
• Don’t answer calls from withheld numbers or numbers you don’t recognise, let it go to voicemail.
• Block numbers from people who are sending you nasty messages.
• If you are bullied repeatedly you can change your number.
• Don’t give your mobile number to someone you don’t know.
• Don’t send pictures to someone you don’t know.
• If the problem is serious you can report it to the police, cyber mentors, or Childline.

SMART - Online Safety

Online Safety

 

• Don’t post any personal information online – like your address, email address or mobile number.
• Think carefully before posting pictures or videos of yourself.  Once you’ve put  a picture of yourself online most people can see it and may be able to download it, it’s not just yours anymore.
• Keep your privacy settings as high as possible.
• Never give out your passwords.
• Don’t befriend people you don’t know.
• Don’t meet up with people you’ve met online.  Speak to your parent or carer about people suggesting you do.
• Remember that not everyone online is who they say they are.
• Think carefully about what you say before you post something online.
• Respect other people’s views, even if you don’t agree with someone else’s views doesn’t mean you need to be rude.
• If you see something online that makes you feel uncomfortable, unsafe or worried: leave the website, turn off your computer if you want to and tell a trusted adult immediately. 

Year 3 E Safety Posters

E Safety in Year 3

 As part of our computing unit on "We are network engineers", we have been looking at the issue of how to use the internet safely in Year 3.  We wanted to ensure that the children understood how the internet is a very valuable tool,  often being our way of communicating to family and friends, the source of our entertainment and shopping outlets. However the internet can also be misused by individuals and possibly lead to us placing ourselves in harms way. 

 

Learning how to keep ourselves safe when using the internet is a valuable life skill and one which was greated by much debate in Year 3 about how this can be done. We then used the information we found to make our own posters, advising other children how to stay safe on the internet.

 The work we have done in class also links with the council E Saftey week survey which you will find on the school website.
