internetmatters.org have partnered with Tesco to develop digital toolkits to help families set controls and privacy settings on new and old devices that they use, along with plenty of advice on how to deal with online risks. They've included tips on how to make the most of a digital world, based on what children like to do.
The links to each age grouped section is below and we have attached at the bottom of this page their individual guides grouped by age with additional information.
Sometimes it is difficult to set digital boundaries about amount of use, what is suitable and how we should all behave online. Agreeing ground rules for devices in and out of the home can help to have everyone working from the same page. Use the template we have attached below from internetmatters.org to help your family agree what is right for you.
internetmatters.org produces many useful resources and family-friendly information around internet safety. Their Layer Up for Online Safety sheets attached at the bottom of this page explain simple ways you can use safety settings to support children's online safety.
We are highlighting the many useful resources provided by internetmatters.org when investigating ways for you and your family to remain cybersecure.
Cyber security is an important part of daily life, whether you’re connecting to public WiFi or browsing at home. Learn how to keep your family secure with expert guidance.
Cyber security means protection in the online space. Therefore, it can refer to the security settings you use on your online social and video gaming accounts or the software you use on your family’s devices.
Good cyber security means the risk of your family’s personal information falling into the wrong hands is less likely. As such, it’s important to implement security measures that protect your devices.
Yet another busy and productive week – children have produced some amazing things with their Design Technology learning; Y1 Girls have continued with their ‘Empower Her’ PE sessions; Monday clubs continue to be enjoyed and attended by many; Reception attended the Natural History museum and Key Stage One children had a super visit and assembly with author/illustrator Nick Sharratt at OJR.
Our Collective Worship theme of ‘Communication’ has continued, looking at and thinking about prayer and meditation/mindfulness as a way of communicating with God.
Our full newsletter, attached below, has lots of detail about events during this busy term so please do take a look, together with our updated diary date sheet and news from Harris Academy football and a Southwark half-term family learning event being hosted at the Thomas Carlton Centre.
Wishing you and our whole community a great weekend.
God bless, from the St. James’ team.
