7 Year 6 children have thoroughly enjoyed becoming part of an Amazonian tribe! They began by composing some tribal music using instruments of their choice, then as a group, they invented their own tribal dance before performing to their classmates. They then created their face-paint and body-paint designs to give their tribe an identity within the rainforest. The children worked really hard and thoroughly enjoyed themselves! Year 2 have been busy preparing to make their own healthy vegetable soup! They enjoyed going to the local shops to buy all the ingredients and then comparing the prices when they got back to school. Mrs Stubbs Mr Morton

11 Child safety on TikTok: parent factsheet TikTok is a video-sharing app. Users can upload and share short videos of themselves lip-syncing to songs or acting out comedy sketches, and add special effects. They can gain followers ( fans ) and browse other people s videos. You may have heard of the app by its previous name: Musically. Everything that was on Musical.ly is now on TikTok. If your child previously had a Musical.ly account they will be able to access their content on TikTok. The age recommendation is 13 and above. However, you don t have to prove your age when creating an account, so younger children can still use it easily. It s most popular with under-16s. TikTok is free to download on Android and ios devices (Apple phones and tablets). It carries ads and offers in-app purchases. It has about 150 million active users worldwide and is available in over 30 languages. What are the concerns? On the surface, nothing. TikTok has a reputation for being unusually free of trolling and danger. But you may have seen news reports or heard concerns about some users harassing children for nude images and videos. What should I look out for? User profiles which talk about trading or swapping pictures/videos Use of emojis that are commonly considered to be sexually suggestive (such as the aubergine) Hashtags, such as #tradefortrade, which clearly suggest the user is looking to trade illicit content The lyrical content of some songs parents have raised concerns that it s not always age-appropriate Users cannot exchange images and videos via in-app messaging, but once they ve made contact they move on to another platform to trade, such as Snapchat. TikTok has taken steps to remove users who it suspects are soliciting underage users. However, there are still many suggestive profiles and TikTok has committed to almost doubling the number of content moderators it employs to 10,000 to address this. What safety options are available to parents? Control who can view your child s videos Set your child s account to private so that your child can control who sees their videos or keep them completely private. Your child will be able to approve or deny people as fans, and will only be able to accept messages from followers. Instructions for this are here: Setting up a private account, TikTok Remember: Accounts are set to public by default. Public profiles can be viewed by anyone Even with a private account, your child s profile information can be seen by all users. Make sure your child doesn t reveal personal information on their public profile
