New JOSOs
Our 'old' JOSOs held an in depth interview process before choosing our new representatives!
First Task
The 'new' and 'old' JOSOs are working closely together on a presentation for Cherry and Oak Class about staying safe online. They will follow this up with a letter to our new reception children's parents with help/ideas as to how to keep their child safe at home as they start to go online to play games.

This is our leaflet with some tips for parents about keeping safe online. We hope it is helpful.
Summer Term
We are making a Powerpoint about fake news to share with everyone in assembly. We know that you can't always believe everything you see online so this will help everyone to know more. Watch this space.
Fake News
Today we held our assembly with the whole school to share information about how to spot fake news on the internet. It was nerve wracking but we looked confident and it went really well!
Stay Safe Online
Young people talking about how to stay safe when gaming online- a great video for children and parents to watch together.

See Kathryn, Matilda or Jack to find out more.
New JOSOs
Our new JOSOs have been chosen and are already well on their way with their first task. They have been asked to prepare a presentation for Cherry and Oak class to highlight how to stay safe in school and make sure they understand our school online safety posters messages.
Today, we talked to Cherry Class and Oak Class about online safety. We shared our presentation and took questions from the children after we watched a short CEOP video. Below is the link to the the video:
