Cybersafety

Topic: Cyber Safety

Our Mini Topic to start Term 4 is Cyber Safety.
This is carrying on from our Keeping Ourselves Safe sessions with Constable Garland but with a focus on keeping safe online.
This topic is designed to help you understand that online activities can have associated risks and to think about how you might protect yourself while online. 
After completing the activities in your NIE booklets and other learning tasks, you will be more able to identify risky online behaviours, know some strategies to keep yourself safe online and know how to search topics in more efficient ways.

Here is a movie link about Joan Wiffen called "Lost Dinosaurs of New Zealand".  Experts said there had never been dinosaurs in New Zealand but Joan Wiffen had a feeling they were wrong.  She had always been interested in fossil hunting and went searching for dinosaur bones in the Mangahouanga Stream with her husband.  Her discoveries proved the experts wrong!

During term 2 we will be learning all about Fossils for our inquiry unit "Memory Bones".  What are fossils?  How are they formed?  What do they tell us about the history of our planet Earth and the creatures of the past?





Here is a short video for you to watch to stimulate your curiosity!
