Acceptance - In Year 3 we have been looking at what could be the consequences of accepting strangers friend requests within games, e-mail messages (no matter how interesting they look!) or picture messages from people that you don’t know. We discussed that these requests could contain harmful things like virus, that lead to expensive repair bills for our big people. Additionally, accepting requests might lead to our computers being hacked and precious items being taken from us. In groups we created short play scripts that we then enjoyed sharing in front of the class. I hope you have as much fun reading then as we did writing them
