You are probably using your technology and internet even more than before. This can be brilliant for ensuring your children are remembering their prior learning, doing more learning, as well as keeping in touch with their friends and families. We would like to help you use all this technology whilst remaining safe online!

At school, we use the childnet SMART rules.

There is lots of debate about whether lots of screen time is damaging for learning. The WHO recommends no screen time for under 2’s, and not more than 1 hour for those between 2-4. 

Online safety activities and advice for parents

 

PLEASE BE VERY VIGILANT ABOUT INFORMATION YOUR CHILD IS PUTTING ONLINE, AND WHO THEY ARE TALKING TO!

MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHO THEY ARE TALKING TO, AND THAT ALL MESSAGES (TO THEIR FRIENDS AND ADULTS) ARE APPROPRIATE

 

PLEASE ALSO BE AWARE OF AGE RESTRICTIONS ON VIDEO GAMES AND TV AND FILMS.

Websites we recommend

The apps and websites are safe for children to use, and they are good quality to help learning. Websites MAY have links to other websites, so it is still important to keep an eye on your child to make sure they haven't wondered off to something less safe.
