Hello, my name is Miss Willow, and I'm going to be guiding you through today's lesson.

This lesson is called "Keeping Safe in the Online World", and it fits into our unit called "Our Online Lives, How Can I Be Kind and Happy Online?" During this lesson, we're going to be talking about some tricky topics.

For this reason, we recommend that you have a trusted adult with you at all times during this lesson.

If at any point you do become upset or uncomfortable, it's really important that you close the screen and that you go and speak to a trusted adult.

Okay, let's make a start on today's learning.

By the end of today's lesson, you will be able to recap the principles of staying safe online.

Before we get started, we need to go over some ground rules.

These help to make sure that everyone stays safe and comfortable throughout today's lesson.

First of all, Laura says that we need to listen to others.

That means we're not going to interrupt other people if they're speaking.

Jacob says, "No judgement ".

This means we're not going to judge other people for what they think, what they feel or what they've experienced.

Aneep says, we need to respect each other's privacy.

That means we're not going to ask anyone any personal questions, as this can make some people feel uncomfortable.

And Izzy says that we can choose our level of participation.

That means it's up to us how much we want to join in.

We're now going to go through the keywords for today's lesson.

These are gonna pop up multiple times throughout the lesson, so it's important that we have a good understanding of what each word means.

First of all, we have the word personal.

This is something about us that is sensitive and private.

Information, this is words and numbers that mean something.

Report, this is to tell someone in charge what's happening.

And finally, manipulation, this means influencing someone's emotions to make them do something.

Today's lesson is split into three learning cycles.

The first learning cycle is called, "How Do We Pay For Things Online?" The second learning cycle is called, "How Should We Ask For Help Online?" And our last learning cycle is called, "Why Shouldn't We Share Personal Things Online?" Let's make a start on the first learning cycle.

How do we pay for things online? Many things online are free, meaning they don't cost us any money.

For example, when we watch some videos or visit some websites, or play some games.

Many of these things online are free and don't cost us any money.

But there are times where we do need to pay for something online.

We might need to pay money to use an app or a website.

Some apps or websites make it clear that you need to pay to use them.

For example, this app says it's only 2.

99 pounds.

It makes it really clear that you need to pay this amount of money in order to play the game.

But other apps or websites might hide the fact that you need to pay to use them.

They might, for example, ask for card details and then take money without you realising.

In some cases, apps or websites are free for a short amount of time, but afterwards you then need to pay to use them.

In this example, this game is free, but if we look closely, it says it's free for one week, after that, you need to pay.

Before we download a new app, or if we aren't sure if something online is free, we should always check with a trusted adult.

They can check that what we're downloading is safe for us to use, for example, safe for children, and it's not going to unexpectedly cost us money.

Let's do a check for understanding to see how you're getting on.

Is this statement true or false? It's always clear If something online is going to cost us money.

Pause the video, tell the person next to you, tell me, or have a think to yourself.

Well done if you said that this is false.

But why? You might have said that some apps and websites do not make it clear that something is going to cost us money.

We should always check with a trusted adult before downloading a new app or game, or if we're not sure if something online is free.

Well done if you said this or something similar.

Some things online may not cost us money, but in order to use them, we might need to give them our personal information.

For example, if we want to sign up to a new website or app, or make an account, we might need to put in our name, our age, our location, our email address or our birthday.

Before we give a website or app our personal information, we should always check with a trusted adult just to make sure that this is safe.

It's important to keep our personal information safe and to ask for help from a trusted adult if we're not sure.

When we sign up for an app or a website, we'd normally have to set a password to keep our account safe.

We should only tell our trusted adults our passwords and nobody else.

Our password should be something that's hard for others to guess, but something that's easy for us to remember.

It should also be eight or more characters, so this means it should be a mixture of letters, numbers, and punctuation.

It should also be a mix of characters, so it should be a mix of letters, numbers, and punctuation.

Let's do a check for understanding.

Which of these is an example of a good password for Jun.

Is it A, JunPlaysGames!24, B, Password123, or C, jun123? What do you think? Pause the video, tell the person next to you, tell me, or have a think to yourself.

Well done if you said that A is a good password for Jun.

JunPlaysGames!24 is a good password for Jun, because it's hard for others to guess, it's easy for Jun to remember, it's more than eight characters, and it's a mixture of letters, numbers, and punctuation.

Well done if you got this right.

Let's put your learning from this learning cycle into practise.

I'd like you to correct each pupil statement.

Andeep says that it's safe to download any app if it says that it's free.

Sophia says it's okay to share our personal information with any website or app.

And Lucas says that passwords should be easy for others to guess and difficult for us to remember.

Can you correct each pupil's statement so that they're telling you something that is true? Pause the video and I look forward to going through the answers with you in a couple of minutes.

Okay, let's have a look and see what you might have said.

Andeep might say it isn't safe to download any app, as it might not be child friendly, and it might cost money without us realising.

Sophia says that we should check with a trusted adult before sharing our personal information online.

And Luca says that passwords should be easy for us to remember and difficult for others to guess.

Well done if you got this correct or if you had similar answers.

We're now moving on to our second learning cycle.

You're doing a brilliant job so far, so keep it up.

Our next learning cycle is called, "How Should We Ask for Help Online?" Sometimes we might feel worried or unsafe online.

We might see something that makes us feel worried.

We might see something that we just don't understand.

Or we might receive a message from someone that we don't know.

We should always tell a trusted adult if we feel worried or unsafe online.

A trusted adult is someone offline who makes us feel safe.

They might be an adult at home, a teacher, another adult at school, or an adult family member.

Trusted adults can help us to feel better and they can help us online in lots of different ways.

They can help us to take action to feel safe and confident online again.

Sam reminds us that if there's ever something that doesn't feel quite right online, that's just a sign that we should tell a trusted adult what we've seen.

Let's do a check for understanding.

Is this statement true or false? A trusted adult can only be an adult that we live with, like a parent, or someone else who looks after us at home.

What do you think? Is this true or false? Tell the person next to you, tell me, or have a think to yourself.

Well done if you said that this is false.

But why? You might have said that a trusted adult can be any adult that we know offline who we trust to keep us safe.

This could be a teacher, another adult at school, or another adult family member.

Well done if you said this or something similar.

To stay safe online, sometimes we need to report an account or block an account, and sometimes we need to say "No".

When we report an account, we tell the website or app that the account isn't following the rules that keep everyone safe.

For example, by sending unkind messages.

We can usually report an account by looking for a flag icon.

We should speak to a trusted adult first so that they can report the account for us.

We can also block accounts that we don't want to message us.

When we block an account, we stop someone from being able to interact with us online, which means that they're not then able to message, like, or comment on what we post.

If we want to block an account, we should always ask a trusted adult to help us.

They can help to make sure that we do this correctly, and they can also make sure that we're okay.

Saying "No" can help us to stay safe online.

For example, if someone asks for our personal information or sends us a friend request online.

Saying "No" can feel hard sometimes, but it's important for keeping us safe.

Trusted adults can also help us to say "No" online.

Let's do another check for understanding.

What are the missing words in the sentence? To stay safe online, sometimes we need to something an account, something an account, or say something to people.

Which words fit in the gaps? Pause the video, tell the person next to you, tell me, or have a think to yourself.

Let's go through what the missing words should be.

The missing words were report, block and no.

So the full sentence should now say, to stay safe online sometimes we need to report an account, block an account or say no to people online.

Well done if you got this right.

We're now moving on to your second practise task.

You're doing a fantastic job, well done.

For this task, I'd like you to give three pieces of advice to Laura about what she should do next.

Laura says, "I've seen something online that makes me feel worried.

I've also had an unkind message from someone I don't know offline.

What should I do next?" Can you come up with three pieces of advice? Can you come up with three pieces of advice for Laura about what she should do next? Pause the video and we'll go through the answers in a couple of minutes.

Okay, let's have a look and see what you might have said.

You might have said that Laura should tell a trusted adult straight away.

She should block the account and she should report the accountee.

Well done if you got this right.

We're now moving on to our final learning cycle, "Why Shouldn't We Share Personal Things Online?" We can choose to share personal information with people that we know offline.

Here we've got Izzy saying, "Hi, I'm Izzy.

How old are you?" And Alex is saying, "Hello, I'm Alex.

I'm 10 years old." Both Izzy and Alex have decided to share their name, and Alex has shared his age too.

They've met each other offline so they feel comfortable sharing this personal information with each other.

However, it's important to not share personal information online.

People shouldn't ask us personal questions online as this is inappropriate, especially if we don't know them offline.

Someone online who we don't know might ask, "What's your name? How old are you? What school do you go to? Where do you live?" All of these questions are inappropriate.

They're asking for personal information and we don't know who's sending the messages.

Sadly, some people can use manipulation tactics to try and get us to share personal information online.

They might use manipulation by pretending to be someone that they're not.

This can make us more likely to share our personal information with them.

Here, someone is using a photo of a little girl, and it says, "Hi, I'm Evie.

I'm eight years old.

I live in Liverpool", but because this is an online stranger, we don't know if this person is telling the truth about who they are.

If we don't know someone offline, we can't be sure that they're telling the truth about who they are.

We should tell a trusted adult straight away if someone asks for our personal information online, even if they say that they're someone we know.

In this situation, Jacob has received these messages from someone called Evie.

Evie has said, "I'm Evie, what's your name? And I'm eight years old.

How old are you?" But Jacob is making a really safe choice.

He doesn't know who this person is, so he's going to tell his dad.

If someone online has our personal information, this could cause us harm.

They could pretend to be us online, take money from us, or identify, which means find out who we are and where we live.

Let's do another check for understanding.

What should we do if we receive this message online? This message says, "Hi, I'm Jake.

What's your name? I'm seven years old.

Are you seven too?" What should we do if we receive this message? Should we A, message back, B, tell a friend, or C, tell a trusted adult? Pause the video, tell the person next to you, tell me, or have a think to yourself.

Well done if you said C, tell a trusted adult.

If we were to receive this message online, we should tell a trusted adult.

We don't know who this person is and they're asking for personal information, which is inappropriate.

Friends should always be kind to each other online, and everyone online deserves to feel safe and respected.

Good friends also respect each other's boundaries, which are invisible lines showing what we will and won't allow.

Jun is asking Sophia, "Do you want to play an online game with me and my friends?" But Sophia says, "No thanks, I don't know your friends and I don't play online games with people I don't know." This is a really safe and sensible boundary to have.

We can be a good friend to people online by being kind to others, only talking to people we know offline, and checking with a trusted adult first before we talk to them.

Telling a trusted adult if we're worried about someone online or if they are experiencing manipulation, and reporting and blocking people who are using manipulation or not making safe choices online.

There are lots of different ways that we can stay safe online.

For example, by not sharing personal information with strangers and not watching things that aren't suitable for children.

Letting our trusted adults know what we're doing online and following online safety rules helps us to be safe and confident online.

Let's do another check for understanding.

Is this statement true or false? There is no safe way to go online, what do you think? Pause the video, tell the person next to you, tell me, or have a think to yourself.

Well done if you said false.

But why? You might have said that there are lots of ways to stay safe online.

For example, we shouldn't talk to strangers online and we shouldn't watch things that upset us.

Our trusted adults can also help us to go online safely.

Well done if you said this or something similar.

We're now moving on to your final practise task.

Well done for your amazing hard work so far.

For the first part of this task, I'd like you to use the images to help you and give three reasons why we shouldn't share personal information online.

Pause the video, and I look forward to going through the answers with you in a few minutes.

Okay, let's have a look and see what you might have said.

You might have said that someone could pretend to be us online.

They could take our money, or they could identify who we are or where we live.

Well done if you got this correct, or if you said something similar.

For the next part of this task, I'd like you to tell the person next to you why Aisha should not message this person back.

Aisha has received a message from someone saying, "Hello, I'm Annie.

I think we go to the same school.

What school do you go to?" Can you tell the person next to you why Aisha should not message this person back? Pause the video and we'll see what you might have said in a few minutes.

You might have said to the person next to you that this person could be using manipulation to get Aisha to share her personal information.

They could be pretending to be someone called Annie to cause Aisha harm.

Aisha should never respond to an online stranger, and she should tell a trusted adult straight away.

Well done if you said this or something similar.

We've done some fantastic learning today.

Let's summarise what we've learned in today's lesson.

Today, we've learned that sometimes we have to use money to pay for things online, or give our personal information.

We should always tell a trusted adult if we feel unsafe or if we're worried about something online.

We can report, block and say "No" to people online as part of keeping ourselves safe.

And trusted adults can help us with blocking and reporting.

We've also learned that people should never ask for our personal information online, and if this happens, we should tell a trusted adult because this could be manipulation.

And finally, friend should treat each other with kindness and respect online, and be kind to other people too.

In today's lesson, we've talked about some tricky topics.

If you have any worries or concerns, it's really important that you speak to a trusted adult.

There are also some organisations on the screen who are there to help you too.

Well done for your fantastic hard work in today's lesson.

I'm really proud of you and I hope to see you again soon.
