Staying Safe themed week 04 February

Wednesday 23 January 2019

Our next whole school themed week, based around Staying Safe, will be taking place from Monday 04 February 2019.  The key message is how to be safe in a range of situations – at home, at school, online and in the environment.

A variety of events and visitors are planned to help us deliver this key aspect of education including road and scooter safety (Leeds City Council); water safety (Canal and River Trust and RNLI); bike maintenance (Edinburgh Bicycle Co-operative); staying safe around dogs (Dogs Trust) and e-safety (One Day Creative and d:side). Some of the events require parental permission and these letters have been sent out separately. There are also some opportunities for parents and carers, from all year groups, to get involved in the week. Please contact the office to reserve places.

*THIS WEEK* Thursday 24 January 2:30pm – 3:15pm d:side drug education information session

A representative from d:side, a health education provider, will be running an information session about drug education.

 Monday 04 February 2:30-3.15pm One Day Creative, creative education provider, e-safety workshop

Wednesday 06 February Edinburgh Bicycle Cooperative Dr Bike event

Bring your bike for a free bike safety check, from 8:30am – no need to book.

Thursday 07 February 2:30-3.15pm First aid workshop

A representative from Leeds Beckett University, will be running a first aid workshop for parents and carers.

The themed week is a good opportunity to continue to think about healthy, active ways to travel to school.  Children are encouraged to travel to school in a sustainable way, keeping safe along the way.

Finally, can you help? Does your job involve an aspect of safety?  If you are able to support our Staying Safe themed week by coming into school, please contact Mrs Taylor via the school office.

We will keep you up to date about events during the week through Twitter and the class news pages on our website.
