We are delighted to invite your Key Stage 2 students to a fun, engaging and age appropriate virtual LIVE lesson focused on cyber security. In today's digital world, it's never too early to teach children the importance of navigating the online world safely and responsibly. We would also like to highlight the many exciting future careers available in cyber security and the amazing people working behind the scenes to keep us all safe.  

Join us on Safer Internet Day, Tuesday 11th February at 9:00am, when our Tech She Can Teacher, Louise, will deliver a virtual 50 minute Tech We Can LIVE lesson for students aged 7 - 11. This will be an interactive session where the children will be guided to complete paper based tasks and partner discussions - they therefore need to be based at a table with a piece of paper and pen/pencil.

The document supports one of the key aims of the government’s Internet Safety Strategy of supporting children to stay safe and make a positive contribution online, as well enabling teachers to develop effective strategies for understanding and handling online risks. 

The Be Internet Legends Scheme of Work gives teachers the tools and methods they need to teach internet safety. The materials developed by Google in partnership with Parent Zone enable teachers to bring the most important information – and the excitement of Interland – into the classroom.

Included in the scheme of work are lesson plans for the five pillars, with activities and worksheets designed to complement Interland.

Interland is an adventure-packed online game that makes learning about internet safety interactive and fun – just like the internet itself. Here, children will help their fellow Internauts combat badly-behaved hackers, phishers, oversharers and bullies by practising the skills that they need to be confident online explorers.
