Online Safety
The internet is a great way for children to explore and learn, but with it changing all the time we need to ensure our children are staying safe online.

Children were provided with a link to an exciting game to help them to learn more about how to stay safe online whilst becoming 'fearless explorers of the world'! Please follow the link to learn more!:
