In Room 1 this week there's been lots of interest in building fires so there was only one thing to do: have a session at the fire pit! It was the ideal opportunity for Nursery-P4 to learn about what is needed to make a fire and most importantly, fire safety. We hope to have more sessions in the coming weeks. Sanday Nursery

AI-generated content, cloned voices, deepfake videos and fabricated screenshots are making it harder for young people to recognise what is genuine online.

Our latest guide supports parents, carers and educators in helping children build the confidence and critical thinking skills needed to question digital content.

The guide explores:
• How AI-generated content and deepfakes can appear convincing
• Why familiar voices, polished presentation and repeated claims should not automatically be trusted
• Risks linked to fake accounts, impersonation and misinformation
• The importance of source-checking and verifying messages through another route
• How adults can respond when harmful or deceptive content targets a child

With clear, practical advice, this resource helps adults strengthen digital literacy and support safer, more informed online experiences.
