Each half term in our school year has a focus on an element of online safety and for Autumn Term 2 the theme was online bullying. This fits into a broader social learning theme of celebrating difference too.
I designed a lesson for our early learning class of 5 year olds using the story 'Daisy Chain'. It's a book and an animated story narrated by Kate Winslet. You can learn more about the story and watch the film for free here: www.ilovedaisychain.com
In the story a character is trying to cheer up the playground by decorating it with daisy chains. But she meets bullies who are mean to her, take her photo and post them on all the trees. A friendly bystander steps up and helps her take down the photo posts then challenge the bullies for a happy ending.
After reading the story the children learned how to use PhotoBooth on the class iPad devices to experiment with the different filters. They shared with a friend and took happy selfies that they were happy to share with friends, learning to be kind with cameras and only sharing happy photos with others they know.
