Crew Focus: Safer Internet Day – Navigating the Future with AI 🤖🌍

12th February 2026Hannah McLoughlin

This week in Crew, we took part in Safer Internet Day, focusing on navigating the Future with AI. We explored how artificial intelligence is becoming a bigger part of our lives and how we can use it safely, responsibly and with our crew values in mind.

To start, we did an active debate activity around the room. Signs said “Okay,” “Not Okay,” and “It Depends,” and we had to move to the area that matched our opinion about statements involving AI. Some statements were tricky! One statement really got everyone talking: ‘Is it okay to use AI to help with homework?’

We realised that many answers were not simply yes or no – sometimes it does depend. By listening to others respectfully and explaining our reasoning, we practiced respect and integrity. It reminded us that staying safe online means thinking carefully and making thoughtful choices with trusted adults.

Next, we worked in our mini crews to act out short scenarios where children faced troubles with AI. We gave advice on what the character should do. We suggested things like:

  • Never sharing personal or private information online (integrity).
  • Telling a trusted adult if something feels wrong or confusing (courage).
  • Using AI as a tool to support learning, not replace it (respect).

Through these activities, we practised compassion by understanding others’ experiences, courage by sharing our opinions, respect by listening carefully and integrity by giving honest, thoughtful advice.

Safer Internet Day reminded us that AI can be exciting and helpful, but it must be used safely, kindly and responsibly.

Crew Ramsay Has Faith!

In Crew, we put our faith in each other to the test by doing this fun partner challenge. We stood opposite our partners and took a step back, then we leaned closer and leaned on each other! We bounced gently on each other’s hands to feel the security of our crew member’s hold. We giggled and squealed and had a great time but ultimately we learned to have courage in ourselves and faith in each other! What a great Crew.

Crew Ramsay would like to acknowledge the kindness and generosity of the donators of our advent calendars. We have loved counting down the days to Christmas so far. We have learned to take turns, recognise numerals and share life’s little joys with our friends… what a beautiful way to be a crew! Thank you!
