Online Safety At DUCKS, we recognise the huge importance and positive opportunities that computing provides the children as learners and that increasing numbers of digital devices will be part of children and young people’s lives in the future. DUCKS staff are well placed to help establish boundaries and good practice guidance, in partnership with parents. Our commitment is to provide children with an excellent education extending to the digital environment. Our DUCKS ICT Acceptable Use Policy is available on the website. Our acceptable use policy for the children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 at DUCKS is as follows; • I will look after property, laptops, mice, headphones, cameras, tablets and all other equipment and when turning the a computer on and off • I will share equipment • I will use kind language when talking to others through the computer • I will only use websites or play games which my teacher/parent/carers have allowed me to use • I will tell my teacher/parent/carers if anything or anyone makes me feel uncomfortable or if there is a problem • I will remember to leave mobile phones and tablets at home • I will remember not everything I read on the internet may be true • I will remember that sometimes attachments can contain viruses so I will only open attachments from people I know • I won’t give out my personal details, such as my name, address or school on the internet Outdoor Activity As you know, DUCKS is situated in a wonderful location, with a variety of outdoor spaces on our doorstep. Staff plan activities and lessons to incorporate these into the curriculum as well as using them for daily routines. The spaces we use regularly are: • The Kindergarten garden for daily outdoor opportunities • The Early Years and Key Stage 1 playgrounds for free flow learning, play times and clubs • The Eller Bank fields (at the front of the school) are used for clubs,
Sports Day, nature walks and outdoor PE in summer • The orchard is used for Forest School for all ages.
We are delighted how this area of the school has grown, as a learning environment it is an area we will continue to develop.
