# Buy me - Online safety and the power of advertising

  ![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/blog/IMG_4290%5B1%5D.JPG)   6 December 2023   [Mr Gambles](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/author/AlanGambles)   [Year 3](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/category/year-3)

Year 3  have been learning about how even children are subject to the powers of advertisers.

Why do they use such bright colours and key words?

How do they know to target you with certain products?

We had a big discussion about the pros and cons of advertising.
