IMMERSION AFTERNOON

We had a great time tying to guess what our next topic would be and were delighted to discover it would center around Social Media and the advantages and disadvantages of using it. We came up with the title "Anti" Social Media?

Next we worked in groups to work out what we think is Social Media and wrote our thoughts on the tables with our whiteboard pens.

Pupil Influence

We used Google Slides to record the questions we have about our topic and cannot wait to find out the answers.

We created a digital footprint by hand and a digital version. 

PC Lee - Safer Surfing Talk

PC Lee came to talk to us about Safer Surfing which included lots of questions such as - 

• Do you have a friend on Social Media that you have never met?

• Do you know the age limit of every Social Media site you use?

• Have you ever or know of someone who has been bullied online?

• Have you ever accessed a site you shouldn't have?

RVE - a better  world

We had a great discussion as to what we think would make a better world. Lots of ideas were discussed and then we recorded our own personal beliefs in our books.

RVE - forgiveness

What is forgiveness? Why is it important? What can you and cannot forgive?

Altered images

Would you be able to tell what has been altered in an image?? We looked at a variety of celebrities and their "before" and "after" pictures and were tasked with if we could identify what had been altered.

We then discussed, as a class, why people edit their photo's and what implications does celebrities editing their photo's, have on the young people in our society. This resulted in a discussion about negative body image.

To understand Online Grooming

To keep ourselves safe online, it is important that we learn about the potential dangers . We had a real grown up discussion as a class and discussed some issues which some found uncomfortable, but understood the discussion and learning was necessary.

Creating the "perfect" person

Using Adobe Express "Generative AI" we created 4 "perfect" people, chose our favourite "perfect" person and had a big discussion about the "pursuit of perfection" in beauty.

To create a Safety Online Poster

We used Adobe Express to create our own posters on how to stay safe online.

To give reasons

We were presented with a different number of scenarios about being online and had to give reasons as to why we agree or disagree.

To recognise fake news

Would you be able to spot fake news? Do you think you have read an article that has been fake but believed it? This is the task we were faced with!
