We're aware that the past two years have been difficult for schools. According to our survey with teachers from June 2020, we were told that teachers needed more resources to help them teach about online safety. You will find such resources here.

Online safety resources for schools

To compliment our online safety workshops, along with the resources from Google's Be Internet Legends, below are additional resources for both students and teachers alike that expand on the learning in our workshops. These resources can be used before or after our workshops, or as stand alone lessons.
You'll find:

A 10-15 minute video with a voice over aimed at students that can be used as homework or as blended learning.

Worksheet for students to complete alongside the video.

PPT slides with notes that allow teachers to use the same content as their own lesson.

As a teacher or a parent, if you're interested in learning more about online safety yourself, check out our video lessons.

As a parent, you may feel stressed, worried, frustrated, confused, and disconnected from your usual sources of support. Your children most likely have similar feelings, although they may show them differently. It is important to remember that children look to adults for guidance on how to react to stressful events. Talking with children about their emotions, fears, doing relaxation activities with them, teaching them helpful coping strategies, and giving them a sense of comfort can help reduce anxiety. The following simple parenting tips, along with specific activities and games might help you calm down your children, learn how to manage their feelings, and help them feel more secure.

Most activities can be enjoyed with children from age 2 to 6 years, although some are more suited to the older children as well. We hope that both you and your children will benefit. Children will have ways to receive comfort, express their feelings, strengthen their connections with you and others who are physically distant. Children will learn age-appropriate ways of coping with what can feel like an overwhelming situation. Engaging in some of the suggested activities will help them to continue learning and developing healthy adaptations to the world around them.

Take the challenges and share your content on social media using hashtags #LearningAtHome #УчимеДома

About PE With Joe

PE With Joe began on Monday 23rd March 2020 in response to the coronavirus pandemic and the UK lockdown. When it was announced that all schools would be closed and with the prospect of us all spending more time at home, it was more important than ever that we kept moving and stayed healthy and positive.

So I decided to host a free workout aimed at kids and families live on my YouTube channel, everyday Monday - Friday while the schools were closed.

I had no idea it was going to be such a big success. On the first day of PE With Joe, more than 900,000 families tuned in around the world. On the second day, over 955,000 families took part together and we broke the world record for the largest streamed workout on YouTube.

Since then, we've done more than 70 workouts together and had over 70 million views, with all the money generated from YouTube ads being donated to NHS Charities Together. Combined with sales of PE With Joe t-shirts, together we helped raise more than £500,000 for the charity.

PE With Joe workouts

Exercise is an amazing tool to help us feel happier, more energised, and more optimistic. The workouts are fun and suitable for all ages and even adults can get involved. You don't need any equipment at all. Head to my YouTube channel here for all of the PE With Joe workouts.
PE With Joe has been the proudest thing I've ever been a part of. Thank you to everyone that has taken part and for being with me on this journey. Lots of love, Joe x

3. Each day, as a family, everyone can do the word of the day. If children have different levels of ability, the older kids can do one or two rounds.
