Tuesday, 11th February was Safer Internet Day 2025! This is an international event where different organisations come together to share important messages about staying safe online.
This year’s theme was: ‘Too good to be true? Protecting yourself and others from scams online’ which focused on scams online and how young people can protect themselves from them. In class the children talked about different scams they may experience – from unwanted pop-ups, promises of prizes, ‘too-good-to-be-true’ offers and unexpected friendship requests from strangers.
The BBC have recorded an online lesson for 7-11 year olds if you wish to explore this year’s theme further with your child:
