On Monday 18th November a lady called Mrs Jackson came to St Peters School to talk about
E-Safety. She showed us how dangerous somethings can be on the Internet if you tell strangers
personal details.
When Mrs Jackson went to the classes, she spoke about the 'Hit Button or Back', (which is one
of the schools ICT slogans). She talked about that if you see anything that worries you or
inappropriate, you should always telll an adult so they can sort it out.
Something else she talked about was five ways to ensure children stay safe online. We did this by
drawing round our hand and in the fingers and thumb we wrote the five things. The five things
were: not to give your ID or passwords away, keep your personal details to yourself (and not with
srangers), don't give your school name away (not just to keep you safe but to keep your friends),
don't give photos or pictures away so people can't identify you and finally never give your family
name out (it's ok for just your first name but never your last).
Mr Hooton was asked a question which was: Looking back did you enjoy E-Safety Day?
"Yes, definitely. On going round the classes it's clear that the children are thinking about it more.
I like the idea of preparing for tommmorow before it's too late. I know it's easy for children to think
they're safe but it's even easier for them to forget about everything they can do to make
themsleves safer. I know the day has made a difference".
Mrs Waterfield was also asked a couple of questions. The first one was: What would you do if you
found people in this school were cyber-bullies?
"First I would make a log of it, find out the details; who were the victims, who were the perpetrators and
contact both parents. I may imform local authority and seek further advice."
The seconed question was: Do you think we should study E-Safety more and if so why?
"I think we have got the right balance."
Two children were asked to answer questions as well, they were both asked the same questions.
The first person was Louise Griffin (Year 6) The first question she was asked was: Do you like the
idea of E-Safetey day?
" Yes, I think so, because I don't they're really teaching us anything new, but we do need reminding
now and again."
The second question was: Do you think it has made a difference?
"Yes, because people usually just ignore it but this year I don't think they did."
The second person was Kieran Belcher (Year 5) he was more positive.
He said, "The day gives people a chance to know what's on the Internet because people just think
it's about social networking sites and it shows people it's not just about that."
He added that some people think differently when they see what can happen on the Internet.
During the day we all realised that the Internet can be a dangerous place if you don't keep yourself
safe online.
However, the children were told that if you 'prepare for tomorrow today' they will always be ready
for anything that may happen.
