This week, Year 6 were very busy learning how to stay safe in a range of different scenarios and situations.
On Monday, we kicked off the week with a road safety assembly.
In this, the children recapped how to stay safe in each type of travel (car, bike/scooter, bus, train and walking).
- A seatbelt must be worn every journey – whether that be a long or short drive.
- You must not distract the driver.
- If there is a seat available on a bus or train you must sit down.
- Travel with an adult.
- Green Cross Code: Think, Stop, Look and Listen.
We also had a lesson about peer pressure. Help at home: Have a go at discussing this slide. Which are examples of peer pressure?
We then had D:Side Dave in to talk to the children about drug education. Year 6 classified different drugs into medical, illegal and illegal.
In the afternoon, we had a lesson about water safety. The children practised how to get the attention of and help someone who is drowning.
On Tuesday, we had a session about promoting good health. The children learnt about how they can keep themselves healthy and happy.
Year 6 also had a lesson about friendships and boundaries within them. Here are some examples of someone’s boundaries. Help at home: Discuss some of your boundaries that you have to make you feel safe within a friendship.
To end the day, we had a session about first aid. Year 6 learnt more about CPR and when to use it.
On Wednesday, we had a session with British Military Martial Arts. The children learnt how to jab, cross and front kick.
To finish the day, we had a lesson about rail safety. Year 6 first found out some cool facts about trains and then discussed how to cross at a level crossing.
