Internet Safety Day 2024
For Safer Internet Day 2024, the whole school participated in a range of activities and learning on the theme of 'Inspiring change? Making a difference, managing influence and navigating change online'. The children were very enthusiatic when discussing this topic in school. At the end of the week, they will be bringing home an Internet Safety themed homework to work through with their parents and carers.
