Safer Internet Day is held every February all around the world. Last year, over 170 different countries celebrated the day! Safer Internet Day (SID) is a chance to think about any worries we might have about using technology and the internet, but it’s also about celebrating all the fantastic things technology can help us with. The theme of our celebrations and learning this year is  'Inspiring change? Making a difference, managing influence and navigating change online'. 

Our dedicated team of Year 6 Digital Leaders worked with Mrs WIlson to prepare and present two special SID assemblies on the day one for Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1, and one for key Stage 2. By participating in these assemblies the children and staff joined thousands of others in celebrating SID! Thank you Alissia, Anabell, Lucas, Tiziana and Saphira for dong such a marvellous job of presenting and introduding SID 2024! 

Safer Internet Day is an event organised by the UK Safer Internet Centre, which aims to promote safe, responsible, and positive use of internet technology. For Safer Internet Day 2023, the theme is “Want to talk about it? Making space for conversations about life online”. It’s very important to provide young people with a safe space where they can share their thoughts, feelings, and experiences about life online.
 
Using the internet safely and positively is a key message that we promote in St. Mary of the Angels and celebrating Safer Internet Day is a great opportunity for us to re-emphasise the online safety messages we deliver throughout the year.

A special thank you to Amelia, Esteban, Keiyana, Luca and Otsaye, our dedicated team of Digital Leaders, who delivered two special assemblies on the day (one for Foundation Stage / Key Stage 1 and one for key Stage 2).
