On Friday 8th March, Year 2 children went on a 'Road Safety Walk'. Children learnt how to cross the road safely and used the 'STOP, LOOK and LISTEN' rule. They learnt how to use their eyes, ears and to think when crossing different roads including a zebra crossing.
On Wednesday 27th March Year 6 took part in a one-hour In-School Presentation (ISP) to educate students about personal safety, respect, responsibility and awareness both on and around public transport run by Transport for London. It covered the different forms of public transport and addresses all key aspects of the KS2 Citizenship curriculum. The presentation informed, challenged and reinforced the knowledge of Year 6 students as they become increasingly independent ready for secondary school.
On Tuesday 26th March Year 6 had the privilege to attend a workshop run by the Metropolitan Police, which discussed lots of important issues. The purpose of the workshop was to provide us with information about preventing knife crime, as well as the dangers of gangs and illegal drugs. Did you know that the age of accountability in the eyes of the law is 10? Did you know that some of the medications prescribed by doctors are categorised as Class A, B and C drugs? We learned about all of these things in a safe environment, as well as having the opportunity to have our questions answered by a professional. read what some of the Year 6 pupils thought about the session:
The children had a great time celebrating World Book Day this year. We decided to change things up and have reading announcements at different times throughout the day. Whenever the children heard these announcements, they stopped whatever they were doing and read a book.
On March 4th 10 Year 5 pupils took part in a project aimed at increasing walking and ‘park and walk’ in the borough. They were supported by a dedicated workshop leader to promote the map and walk zone at our school.
