Year 5 Safer Internet Day11 February 2025 (by C Taylor (ctaylor)) |
The theme for Safer Internet Day 2025 is 'Too good to be true protecting yourself and others from scams online'. In Year 5 we started the day by watching a live lesson by BBC Bitesize. We learned how to spot a scam and about phishing. Using the word 'scammed' we were shown what to look out for:
Sounds too good to be true.
Contact you weren't expecting.
Asks for personal information.
Money or trade request.
Mistakes in spelling or grammar.
Extra urgency.
Dodgy source.
After watching the lesson, we designed a poster of top tips to avoid being scammed.
In the afternoon, we learned about fake news, generative AI and how to spot 'fakes'. We discussed some scenarios and what we would do before creating our own 'mock scam'.
