  14. 🎉 A Massive shout-out from Year 5 at Bankfoot Primary School! 🎉published at 12:55 Greenwich Mean Time 11 February

    We’ve absolutely loved taking part in the Live Lesson—it was fun, exciting, and full of brilliant tips on how to stay safe online. We’ve learned so much about spotting scammers, and the acrostic poem will definitely help us remember how to stay smart when using the internet. ️✨

    Not only that, but you’ve given us some awesome strategies for creating strong passwords to keep our accounts safe.

    A huge thank you to the amazing presenters for your hard work, energy, and for making the session so engaging! We truly appreciate it!

  15. Hello to 6B at Harrow Lodge Primary in Hornchurchpublished at 12:52 Greenwich Mean Time 11 February

    Pupils were really SMART with the smashing the scams!

    Marnie says "the activites were fun to see and engage with."

    Leni says " I learnt what a scam is for sure!"

    Baris says "if it sounds too good to be true, then you should not click on the message."

    Muhammad says "if the number is not in your contacts list, then it is most likely to be a scam."
