You have all been working tremendously hard over the last six weeks so well done and take a well deserved rest.

Safer Internet Day task:

1. Make a spider diagram/ mind map/ brainstorm about what you can do to create #AnInternetWeTrust. What do you think others can do – social media and gaming companies, government, teachers or your classmates? Use the template at the bottom of today's learning to explore how we can all work together to question the online world and challenge ourselves and the people and apps we interact with online to change the internet
for the better.

2.Fill the magnifying glass with your ideas about how we can create #AnInternetWeTrust. This could be:
● Questions to ask when you are looking at information online, for example: Who wrote this? Why was it written?
● Words or questions we can ask to help us spot if something is reliable online.
● Illustrations of what a better, more trustworthy internet could look like. Or images of online clues that may make something seem less reliable or trustworthy.
● Pledges of what I will do to help create a more trustworthy internet, such as, “I will only share things I have checked are true” or “I will support my friends if fake news upsets them.”
● You can also fill in the #AnInternetWeTrust hashtag template in any way you like!

Today we are thinking carefully about the stepmother in the fairy tale ‘Hansel and Gretel’ and what kind of character she is. It has been great to hear that so many of you are enjoying the online English lessons. Daniella in 4T has even been inspired to make a model of Hansel and Gretel’s house! Great idea, Daniella.
