Everyone welcome! # Year 3- Understanding the Risks: Staying Safe Online ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/activitymore-44B9431E-A278-40FB-B077-EFE42664AB95.png) 22 May 2025 Today in class, we talked about staying safe online, especially when it comes to seeing violent content. About 70% of teenagers have seen real-life violence online in the past year, and it's not just a small problem. While some might actively seek it out, many encounter it through group chats or social media algorithms, meaning it can pop up even if you're not looking for it. After discussing these important points, Year 3 agreed on: they all need to be careful about what they watch and share, and how it affects everyone. If they ever see upsetting content or feel pressured to share something, they will talk to a trusted adult, like a parent and teacher. ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/activitymore-44B9431E-A278-40FB-B077-EFE42664AB95.png) [Year 3](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [PSHE](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/pshe) [Computing](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/computing) [Online Safety](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/online-safety) [Discussions](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/discussions) [Mental Health and Wellbeing](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/mental-health-and-wellbeing) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_4634.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-05-21-pupil-s-re-conference-2025) Previous ### [Pupil’s RE Conference 2025](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-05-21-pupil-s-re-conference-2025) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_8295.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-05-23-year-4-biscuit-creations-group-1) Next ### [Year 4 Biscuit Creations Group 1 ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-05-23-year-4-biscuit-creations-group-1) ### Personal Development - [News](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
