Captain Kara and Winston’s SMART Adventure

Know IT All for Primary schools also contains a specially designed 5 part 3D animation called 'The Adventures of Kara, Winston and the SMART Crew'

This film covers Childnet's 5 SMART rules which have been proven to be effective in helping younger children understand the importance of keeping safe online. Through their travels Kara and Winston use the internet, mobile phones, social networking pages and chat to negotiate and find their way through the adventure. Through their travels they are able to interact with a real life SMART crew of 10 and 11 year old children who give instructions and help Kara and Winston stay safe.

The cartoon will appeal to both younger children (6 and 7) as well as right up to 11 year olds and can be shown in its entirety (15 minutes) or as individual chapters. There are a range of follow up activities and a full lesson plan which you can download.
