KS1: Watch out! Helping to make good viewing choices

Accredited by the PSHE Association, these lessons support pupils in understanding how to make safe viewing choices online and what to do if they see something that is not age appropriate.

The resource pack includes two one hour lesson plans, teacher guidance and ready to use powerpoints and classroom resources.

Learning objectives include:

• understanding that there are age-ratings that can help us make choices about what to watch
• learning how to make good viewing choices that are right for a person’s age
• learning about what to do if someone watches something that makes them feel upset or worried.

Our lesson plans also support teachers to meet the Department for Education’s statutory guidance for Relationships and Health education in the following areas:

Online relationships (in Relationships education)

• the rules and principles for keeping safe online, how to recognise risks, harmful content and contact, and how to report them.

Internet Safety and harms (in Health education)

• why social media, some computer games and online gaming, for example, are age restricted.
• where and how to report concerns and get support with issues online.
