SAFE surfing on the net has netted lots of prizes for super-keen students at Berrynarbor Primary School.

The children entered the competitions on the police website www.jnrspace, which aims to educate youngsters about using the internet safely.

PCSO Katie Simpson said: "It's a great website for primary school children to use, with games, advice and competitions. There is always something to read or take part in, and it teaches the children how to surf the net safely.

"Many parents express concerns about children so young using the internet but it is a fantastic resource that is now part of everyday life.

"We need to ensure that we safeguard our children and teach them how to safeguard themselves so they are able to learn without becoming involved in problems that social networking sites can present.

"With the launch of the new government 'Click Clever Click Safe' initiative, there is lots of information out there for us all to read. The advice is simple, Zip it, Flag it, Block it,"

Berrynarbor pupils Kitty-May Barten and Hannah Hinsley, both won first prizes of tickets to see the Plymouth Raiders basketball match while runners up from the school won a 1GB memory stick.

They were: Caitlin Burgess, Disnie Thornton, Billy Thorton, Kyle Davies, Oliver Ivan, Charlie Haines, Katy Crockett William Haines
