In today’s Year 5 computing lesson, pupils explored the importance of image copyright and the law. They learnt that not all images found online are free to use and discussed why creators deserve credit for their work. Children were introduced to terms such as copyright, permission, and free-to-use images, and looked at examples of websites that clearly credit image owners.

Using this knowledge, pupils practised choosing appropriate, copyright-friendly images so they could make informed decisions when designing and building their own websites. The lesson helped develop their digital responsibility and ensured they understand how to use online content safely, legally, and respectfully.
