Year 5 - Safer Internet Day 2026
Date: 10th Feb 2026 @ 2:44pm
During Online Safety Week, Year 5 explored how to use AI safely by looking at different real‑life examples and deciding whether each one was “okay or not okay,” discussing how actions online can be safe, kind and responsible or hurtful and unsafe. The children worked in groups to think carefully about “Pip’s problem,” where an AI‑edited picture was shared in a group chat to make Pip look strange, and together they answered the guided questions, offering supportive advice such as talking to a trusted adult, reporting unkind behaviour and checking in with someone who is upset. Through these discussions and activities, the class learned how to recognise misuses of AI, how to respond when something online doesn’t feel right, and why people not chatbots are the best source of help when emotions or safety are involved.
