Safer Internet Day 2024
Tuesday 6th February 2024 - 'Join together for a better internet.'
During the week of 5th February 2024, St Gilberts children and staff worked together on this year's theme. Classes took part in assemblies and activities which got them thinking about how they can make a positive change to the way we communicate with each other online. We linked Safer Internet week to Children's Mental Health Week, which fell at the same time and had a corresponding theme of 'My Voice Matters'.
You can watch the 'Be Internet Legends' assembly here:
