Core Skills Analysis
Computing
Joyhali completed the Twinkl online safety worksheet, where she identified safe and unsafe websites and practiced creating strong passwords. She learned how to spot phishing attempts by examining email examples and understood the importance of keeping personal information private. By following the worksheet’s tasks, she applied logical reasoning to decide which online actions were appropriate. This activity gave Joyhali a solid foundation in digital citizenship and safe computing practices.
PSHE
Joyhali worked through the online safety worksheet, which prompted her to reflect on how her online behaviour affects herself and others. She discovered why respectful communication and consent are crucial when sharing images or messages. The worksheet also encouraged her to think about the emotional impact of cyberbullying and how to seek help. Through this, Joyhali built confidence in managing her digital wellbeing and social responsibilities.
