Internet safety day.

We have been discussing the importance of staying safe on the internet. We have discussed a 'recipe' of tips to share with others on how to keep safe using technology including online gaming. The children then enjoyed making their own online 'guide' mascot to remind them and others of the skills they have discussed.

The children have been learning about what mechanisms are, how they work, what parts are needed and even trying out their own structures.
