This term in Key Stage 1 our assemblies will be focusing on 'Jessie and Friends', an animated series about online safety produced by Thinkuknow.

 

Thinkuknow is an award-winning education programme from the National Crime Agency's child protection command, CEOP.  It aims to keep children safe from abuse, both online and in the real world.  Thinkuknow education resources are age-appropriate, and give children the skills, knowledge and confidence they need to stay safe online.  They are used by over three and a half million children across the UK each year.

 

'Jessie and Friends' follows the adventures of Jessie as she learns to watch videos, take photos and play online games.  The aim of the film is to help children learn how to stay safe online.  In particular, the films and activities teach them to spot when they may not be safe online.  We are also aiming to develop their confidence to respond safely and get help.

 

You can watch a short trailer and all three brief episodes by clicking the link below.  It is a great idea to watch each episode with your child and to have conversations with them about the subjects covered.
