Year 2 have enjoyed a busy week learning all about staying safe. This themed week forms part of our Living and Learning curriculum.
Leeds City Council road safety team came to teach us all about road safety and we went for a walk outside of school to practise The Green Cross Code:
THINK
STOP
LOOK
LISTEN
Visitors from Leeds Health and Wellbeing Team came to talk to us about hand hygiene and how to stay safe by not spreading harmful bacteria to others.
In our session with BMMA (British Military Martial Arts) we learnt how to stay safe while carrying out the different moves.
We learnt lots from Dogs Trust for how to stay safe around dogs. The 3Cs – check, call and count were things to remember before approaching a dog and keeping still like a statue or curling up like a tortoise is a response to getting unwanted attention from a dog.
Catering Leeds delivered a ‘germ warfare’ session about keeping hygienic. Look at the difference when we washed our hands!
Other learning included safety when riding a bike or scooter by wearing a helmet to protect our brain, checking our brakes and wearing something bright.
Congratulations to Ivy who was one of our active travel safety competition winners – well done!
It’s been such an enjoyable week and the children have engaged with the learning really responsibly.
Help at home: with the weather forecast looking warmer for half term, ask your child for some top tips for staying safe in the sun.
