This week, Fairlands School have been celebrating Internet Safety week.  Children have been discussing in class, this year's theme:

Too good to be true? Protecting yourself and others from scams online.

This has allowed children to share their experiences and ideas on how to tackle any problems.  Talk to your child about what they have been doing in school and look out for their year group blogs.

As Internet Safety is an ongoing issue, it is important that parents and educators are fully informed in how this issues can be tackled effectively.  To help with this, we will be sharing a termly newsletter from HFL, as well as weekly 'Wake up Wednesdays' which will support you with particular platforms.  If you need any further advice, you can find this on sites such as:
