Safer Internet Day: For Safer Internet Day, the Year 5 children created profiles for two people that they have met in person and two people they have met online. The children filled their profiles with adjectives to describe them. The children found that it was much harder to describe the people that they had met online and came to the conclusion that we do not always know a lot about the people we interact with online.
