In today\u2019s modern world, computers and the internet are essential parts of everyday life. We use them to communicate with our friends and colleagues, for entertainment and work, and to find out the latest news. We apply for jobs, do our shopping and share our interests on social media. We even have Satellite Navigation in our cars to tell us where to go, and smartphones in our pockets, where a world of information is only ever a touch of a screen away. Think about how you use the internet in your personal life or at work, and how many different ways you can access it. The possibilities are endless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Dallington, we use a range of activities and devices to explore children\u2019s creativity and to develop the essential skills they need to thrive in the digital age. We work on problem solving by developing our coding skills; we learn how to use the internet effectively to search for information and we begin to use our creative skills to produce stories, pictures, music and videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\ninternet is a wonderful place where we can learn and communicate, but how can\nwe ensure that young people are using it safely? We all have a role to play, as\nteachers and parents, as responsible people, in the way that we ourselves use\nthe internet. To help us be mindful of this, we will be learning about the\n\u2018Four Rs\u2019 on Safer Internet Day 2019.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
