February 9th was Safer Internet Day, we had a super assembly led by our very own Stannington Stay Safe team. They helped the whole school to think about all the ways that we use technology. We thought about how we behave in real life and compared it to how we behave on the internet.

Later we talked about eating our five a day and how we can think of digital devices in the same way. Making sure that we use devices in a variety of different ways like, staying in touch with family, planning a walk, playing a game, learning something new or making something like a video or animation. The Stannington Stay Safe team then went back to classes and taught the children in their own class how to balance these activities just like we balance what we eat. Lastly, in order to keep healthy you should have a ‘digital sunset’ a time of the day when all devices are switched off so that we can all get some proper rest.
