Year 5 Unit 1 - Digital Citizenship (Wider World)
Our progressive curriculum builds sequentially year-on-year, culminating in the Year 5 Digital Citizenship unit, which deepens students’ understanding of online safety, responsible behaviour, and ethical use of technology. Students will explore key concepts such as protecting personal information, navigating social media safely, identifying misinformation, and understanding the impact of their digital footprints. They will develop the confidence to make responsible online choices, respond to online risks appropriately, and understand the importance of seeking help when needed.
Each lesson is fully editable and compliant with DfE and PSHE Association guidelines, ensuring ease of integration into your chosen curriculum. This bundle offers flexibility for educators, providing the option to select individual lessons or mini-units rather than committing to a full scheme. Detailed schemes of work that are aligned to this unit are available in our free planning pack. Explore the detailed content of each lesson by clicking the links provided below:
