Get Set For The Net for Year 2

This programme has been carefully created to provide a structured, relevant and age-appropriate introduction to Internet Safety for Y2 children. With children making use of the Internet and mobile phones in their everyday lives at an ever younger age, it is vitally important that Internet awareness training is not left until it is too late. Our unique programme is made up of a series of pre-recorded online lessons, accompanied with lesson notes.

These can be used with the whole class on an interactive whiteboard at any time. By watching the broadcasts, and engaging in discussion and activities with each other, children will be shown both the benefits and the dangers of the Internet. A comprehensive teacher’s guide is provided, and teachers have access to a range of follow up resources, links and worksheets to reinforce what pupils have learnt.

Access is available until the end of the current academic year.

The cost of this course is £1 per pupil.
