Birches Head High School - Birches Head High School

Year 9 English groups have worked with Forest Park Primary School on Internet Safety.  We used some fun books that are produced by the Police Clubs Federation.  All the characters are woodland creatures who sometimes do silly things.  Barney keeps an “eagle” eye on Echo Squirrel, Spike Hedgehog, Digsby Mole and friends.  He tells the youngsters not to give personal details if they are on-line, and warns about the dangers of social networking sites.  He is also worried about cyber-bullying - using computers or mobile phones.
We visited the school, read the stories and did puzzles and games to help the children remember the messages.  Then the Forest Park students visited our school to see all the different types of IT rooms that we have.
Next year we hope to work with Grove and Abbey Hulton Primary Schools.
