Internet Safety
Over the past few weeks Miss Dawson and the Digital Technologies group have been focusing on internet safety. As part of their pupil group they created a questionnaire to find out how safe the children of Dyce Primary School are online.
They wanted to find out what devices pupils have, what they were using their devices for and if they were staying safe online. The pupil group sent the questionnaire around the green and blue units to gather information.
Here are our results:
