As part of Safety week, children in Key stage 2 were given special ‘Safety’ related books to read and discuss in guided reading. The books covered topics on road safety, bullying, online safety, cyber bullying and staying safe on the DLR. The children enjoyed the activities in the books and were able to identify the dangers that could be avoided. Later, they were able to extend this to their environment around the school, outside and even at home.
For safety week, Year 5&6 students had the opportunity to engage with PC Lisa, who provided valuable insights on cybercrime prevention and internet safety.
The session highlighted essential do’s and don’ts, emphasising the importance of not sharing passwords and avoiding illegal activities.
PC Lisa’s guidance not only aimed to educate but also to cultivate skills for those intrigued by hacking.
The interactive workshop with kids actively participating and showing interest, underscored its impact in raising awareness and empowering young minds to navigate the digital world responsibly.
The Year 5 and 6 children took part in the Tower Hamlets Junior Citizenship Scheme that coincided really well with our Safety Week. It took place in the Shadwell fire station where the children got the opportunity to learn citizenship and life skills with agencies such as Met Police Service, London Fire Brigade, London Ambulance Service and Transport for London, Leyton orient football FC to name just a few. The children took part in interactive scenarios that taught strategies for leading a safer and more responsible lifestyle. The children came back with lots of new skills and aspirations of joining these agencies that help keep people safe.
