Online Safety

Once a term we do an online safety lesson.  Across the year, all pupils should:

• Explain what is meant by online information.
• Recognise what information is safe to be shared online.
• Explain why we need passwords and what makes a strong password.  
• Understand that they need to ask permission before sharing content online and explain why.  
• Understand that they have the right to deny their permission to information about them being shared online.  
• Say who they can ask for help with online worries.  
• Use some strategies to work out if online information is reliable or not.  

Autumn 1

Our computing topic this term is 'Data Handling: International Space Station'.  

In this topic we will:

• Describe and explain how astronauts’ survival needs are met aboard the ISS.
• Identify and digitally draw items which fulfil basic human needs when aboard the ISS.
• Read the correct temperature on a thermometer.
• Design a display showing everything that needs to be monitored by sensors on the ISS.
• Create an algorithm that addresses all plants’ needs.
• Explain how space exploration can benefit life on Earth.
• Read data to identify whether a planet might be habitable.

We have used a thermometer to measure temperatures around school and inputted the data into a spreadsheet.
