Meeting at lunchtime.
We arranged a meeting/party for tomorrow to say goodbye to Arthur (Year 6 Online Officer), and also Amalia & Elsie (Year 6 Safety Squad).
We interviewed Year 3 teachers to find out what they do to make Year 3 feel so safe online (Mrs Uttley was called out to the field so we did this on our own!)
Thank you to Sophie for documenting the answers to the Online Officer's questions.

Meeting to talk through what is left on the action plan.
We went to year 3 and arranged a meeting with the teachers for next week.

Our meeting was in Year 5 this afternoon!  We met with each class and they talked about their lives online.  We found out lots from each other.  Watch this space for Sophie's report!

Francesca - absent

Year 6 are going on their PGL next week; this is what we would like Arthur to find out:
- Making sure that the teachers are using a school iPad to take photos of the children (not their personal iPads or phones).
- Make sure that the children do not have mobile phones with them - there has been a rumour that some children might try to sneak them in their luggage.   (Mrs Uttley will speak to Mrs Heath & Miss Thurlow about this).
- Arthur will ask the PGL staff if they are allowed to use their own phones whilst with the children

During the meeting today, we checked out the website for the PGL trip. Here are our comments/thoughts:

We found the safeguarding policy on the website and found this about E-Safety:

E-safety PGL recognises that it is the enhanced functions of many mobile devices that cause the most concern, and which are most susceptible to misuse. Misuse includes the taking and distribution of indecent images, exploitation and bullying. PGL has a specific E-Safety Policy which identifies the risks and describes the control measures in place to mitigate those risks. When illegal content or activity is found or suspected, the police and or the internet watch foundation/child exploitation and online protection centre will be contacted.

We emailed this to the Year 6 teachers.

We are preparing for our meeting with Nathan Simmonds - online safety expert!

Online Officers will meet him and introduce him to year 5 at 1.00pm.

Sophie has offered to take notes so that she can feed back to everyone at the following meeting.

We have sent an email to the school office to ask them to remind parents of the meeting on 23rd May.

Sophie will bring Nathan down to the Rainbow Hub to meet with Online Officers at 3.00pm and answer their questions. Rosa will have already collected the rest of the group and will be waiting.

Questions:
- Can you tell us about your job?
- What qualifications do you have?
- What is the most common problem that you have to deal with?

Arthur is going on a residential trip in a few weeks. Safety Squad normally take their gilets and check out the safety of wherever they are visiting. Arthur would like to do the same, but for Online Safety, so the Online Officers are going think of one thing each, that Arthur could do whilst he is away.

Starting from Thursday 4th May, we will be meeting at lunchtimes again!

# data[].attributes.body
It is a long time since we last met due to end of term activities and the Easter Holidays!

We met today to decide when we are going to meet each week this term - everyone  agreed that they would like to go back to meeting every Thursday lunchtime and having their lunch together.  Therefore, we will start this next week!

Mrs Uttley to get a parent mail sent out to remind parents of Nathan's visit to school.

We went to Year 2 to find out when would be a good time to speak to them about their worries about being online. Miss Gardener suggested a Friday afternoon so we have given them the date of Friday 12th May @ 1.15pm. Mrs Uttley will email the Y2 teachers to confirm this. Sophie has put this in her calendar and will remind the rest of the group.

We planned and practised our assembly; we shared our Online Officer action plan with the whole school.

We had a meeting at 11.00am to confirm what we would be doing at lunchtime today.  We are also trying to raise awareness of this Padlet, so they went round to each class telling everyone to take a look!

At lunchtime, we showed the video of the Internet Safety Song.

The Online Officers held a quiz in the hall!  Sophie was really brave and read out each question using the microphone.  Try it for yourself at home:

Abbots Green scored highly - we are already very safe on the internet.

With Mrs Uttley's help, they decided on a time frame.
They linked each action to our rainbow values.
They will assess the impact of their actions.

Lots of snacks needed today!
The Online Officers used their maths skills to collate the results of the Safety Survey.

What do you want to say today?
What does online safety mean to you?

Tell adults what you want them to know about your life online.

What issues (online) really matter to you?

What changes do you want to see online and how we can work together to make these happen?

Do you have any questions that you wish the adults supporting you, would ask about you life online?

Are you worried about the amount of time that someone in your family spends on devices?

LGFL have created a Digital Family agreement to help you set ground rules such as how much time your child can spend on devices. Find out more here:

Online Officers' Christmas Party!
We had orange snacks and drinks of course but also managed to still make some important decisions.
We found some documents that have been released to help stay safe online at Christmas.  Please see the Useful website and photo section.
We met with Mrs Morrison and asked her to put something in the newsletter to remind parents to look at our padlet on the school website.
Happy Christmas everyone - stay safe online.

Visit to Oxlip House - see Online safety in the community

We had lunch together in the hall (orange juice and carrot sticks as extra!)

We talked about the questions that we wanted to ask the rest of the school in the autumn safety survey.  We talked about the question "Do you feel safe online?"

It appeared that the younger children don't really understand what being online means so we are going to hold an assembly for KS1 and try to help them to understand what it actually means.
Online Officers are going to research some videos/pictures to help the children understand.

We talked about a visit to Oxlip House on Friday 11th November.  We are going to talk to the residents about what we do and ask them about their internet use.

We looked at the Abbots Green Website and Mrs Uttley showed us how to access this padlet! We are going to go home and share it with our parents and show our year groups.

We had lunch together.

We went round to each classroom with the leaflets and bookmarks- we explained to the class teachers that they needed to give one of each, to each child in their class.  We asked the children to share them with their parents.

Mrs Uttley is going to put a link to this padlet on to the school website today (once she has checked our parent permissions to make sure that we are allowed to have our names and photos on the school website).

# data[].attributes.body
We had lunch together.

We sorted out the leaflets and bookmarks into class sets ready to give out next week.

# data[].attributes.body
Mrs Uttley printed the bookmarks. We haven't been able to decide on a day when we can give them out after school (we all go to lots of different after school clubs!) so we have decided to give them to teachers to give out in class on the last day of this term.

# data[].attributes.body
We had lunch together.

We tried to print out the bookmarks but there was a problem with the photocopier.  Mrs Uttley will print them out ready for next week's meeting.

We talked about the need for parent permission for our names and photos to be on the school website. Mrs Uttley told us about a document that is in school where all the staff can check whether or not children's names and photos can be used on the school website (or other places).

We all have permission so we will be putting a link to this padlet on our school website so that we can tell everyone what we do.

Online Officers visited Oxlip House - we took biscuits and iPads.  We found out that there is free WIFI for visitors.

The children talked about their roles in school and showed them this padlet.

They then shared some online games with the residents - Hit the Button and a Phonics Play game.

We gained permission from the residents to share photos of our visits on the school website.
