Year 6 PSHE & Online Safety Lesson - Social Media & Digital Citizenship

This is a Year 6 PSHE and Citizenship lesson about relationships, which also covers internet safety. The focus is on exploring social media use in the context of developing better understanding of digital citizenship. Children will discuss what it takes to become a good digital citizen, including evaluating their own practice and suggesting areas in which to improve. A paired or small group social media themed task is also provided to reinforce the learning from the lesson.

The lesson is aimed at Year 6 but could also be used across upper Key Stage 2. It is fully resourced with planning and relevant supporting materials.

The timing of the lesson is approximately 45 – 60 minutes, but, depending on your PSHE timetabling, it can also be easily split into a pair of thirty-minute sessions.
