9. I needed one item to get into my house and I found it in KEYBOARD. I did not need to panic as my mum was at home.

Answer: key

Of course! We use a keyboard to use the internet - but going onto the internet without learning how to keep ourselves safe is exactly the same as going into a dark forest - not knowing where we are going and also not knowing if nice people are going to be there. Even adults need to learn about internet safety, there are many places on the internet to tell us how to keep ourselves safe.

10. I found out about something that really interested me - it was even in the word NEWSLETTER.

Answer: news

School newsletters may seem boring but they tell us about groups which may give us years of fun and many friends. Some are groups like book-clubs,chess,
stamp-collecting, volley-ball even butterfly chasing. There are also community newspapers which tell us what groups we can join in our community like Scouts and Girl-Guides. The world is a very interesting place even without the internet.
