During today’s session we talked about keeping safe whilst using computers etc., the session aims to provide children with simple and  effective skills to keep themselves safe whilst accessing computers or viewing films and computer games etc.,

Topics covered :

KS scenarios around computer safety, dealing with inappropriate images/material on the Internet, where else children may see/read unsuitable material i.e., mobile phones, D.V.D’s, games, television etc., film classifications U, PG, 12A, 15 and 18 and why they are there, computer game classifications 3+, 7+ etc., and why they are there and how peer pressure can impact on what children watch and play.

An explanation of film classifications is found on the cover of videos and D.V.D’s, and further information can be found at www.bbfc.co.uk.  Computer game classifications can be found at www.pegi.info.

The children were fantastic and gave KS the monkey some really sensible ways to deal with his problems. We are really impressed with the children in year 1 and how mature they are when it comes to dealing with these sensitive situations.
