01Screens Help and Screens TiredbeginnerClass 3 to 5Screens can help you learn and play, but your eyes and body need breaks. Notice when a screen feels helpful and when it feels too much.15 min 02Ask Before You ClickbeginnerClass 3 to 5animated labPop-ups, prize buttons, and mystery links are not always safe. Pause and ask a trusted grown-up before you tap something you do not recognise.15 min 03Kind Words OnlinebeginnerClass 3 to 5Online words can cheer someone up or hurt their feelings. Start with the same kindness you would use in the playground.15 min 04Private vs Public InformationbeginnerClass 3 to 5Some facts are fine to share in a school newsletter. Others, like your home address or password, stay private with trusted adults only.15 min 05Photos Need PermissionbeginnerClass 3 to 5A photo is a copy of someone's face and body. Ask before you take it, share it, or tag someone who might not want to be online.15 min 06When to Tell a Grown-upbeginnerClass 3 to 5Grown-ups want to help when something online feels scary, mean, or too secret.
