Working with Outside Companies
‘One Day Creative’ have supported us with our ‘Safer Internet Day’ activities We were involved in pirate and spy themed workshops based on e-Safety. These focused on the importance of creating strong passwords, being responsible online and not sharing important information. Here are some of the highlights in pictures:
We also worked with ‘One Day Creative’ to carry out a performance called ‘Level Up’ for both KS1 and KS2. The performance educated us about the dangers of online gaming and how these dangers can be avoided. It also taught us what we can do if we encounter any of the issues discussed and who we can go to for help. Please click on the link below to find out more information about the performance:
One Day Creative Level Up Performance
We had both a fun and informative morning. Take a look at the pictures of the performance below:
We follow the SMART rules for using the Internet. Recently every child completed a ‘Support Web’ identifying who we could turn to if we get an ‘uh-oh’ feeling in our tummy. We also enjoyed acting out scenarios of what can happen on the Internet and how to deal with this.
Altru Creative Education came to visit Mersey Park. The company performed an e-safety play for Key Stage 2. It was an extremely informative play which taught us all about the risks of using the Internet and the dangers of online use. The play helped us to consider ways that we can make our own Internet use safer.
