‘Fake news’ is a widespread issue in the digital world, and it’s overwhelmingly likely that both children and adults will be exposed to it online In fact, a study from the Alan Turing Institute has found that 94% of people in the UK have encountered misinformation on social media
and that’s only the ones who were aware of it!
However, while some fake news is shared mistakenly by well-meaning individuals, it’s also shared by scammers and other cyber-criminals to lend legitimacy to their con. While this presents a clear risk to children and young people online, the question remains as to how we can protect them against such tactics This week’s free guide offers expert advice on the specific ways scammers use misinformation and how to safeguard younger users against these techniques.
While misinformation and ‘fake news’ are well-known concerns online, it’s also the case that scammers and other cyber-criminals can try to utilise this phony material to manipulate, frighten or otherwise persuade their victims into cooperating.
With constantly evolving scams and such a high volume of misinformation online, it’s vital that parents and educators know how to safeguard the children in their care against these kinds of tactics. Our guide breaks down the most prominent ways in which scammers attempt to use ‘fake news’ to their advantage, as well as how to protect youngsters from being manipulated by such techniques.
Last week, Year 5 had a fantastic visit from the Newcastle Eagles. We enjoyed developing our basketball skills as well as learning about how to stay healthy. We discussed the different food groups, how much water we should drink each day and ways to take care of our mental health too. Thank you, Newcastle Eagles, for a great afternoon!
Year 5 had a great time with La Petite Crêperie, where we practised our conversational French to politely order our crepes. They were delicious and we were very proud of the children for responding to a range of questions in French!
Our Mini Police officers were invited to the Northumbria Police Maritime Policing Unit in Jarrow to find out about policing our local water areas. We learned about the skills needed to police the river, lakes and sea. After looking at the specialist diving equipment, we saw their deep training pool and learned about what they use to rescue people.

Our year 5 Mini Police members attended the Remembrance Day service and parade in East Boldon. The Police Constables said, “The children were well behaved and a credit to the school.” We are so proud of the children and we know they are extremely excited to work with the Police officers throughout this year.
We have all been learning about the importance of Remembrance day and why we celebrate it. We created beautiful artwork that was displayed in the hall for everybody to see. Today in our special assembly, Year 6 shared some amazing stories about local heroes from South Shields. After the assembly, we held a minute silence to honour and respect the memory of all the men, women and animals who helped fight for our country.
