Year 6 Safety Works
As part of our Stay Safe and Well Curriculum, Year 6 pupils recently enjoyed a highly informative and engaging visit to Safety Works in Benwell. During the day, pupils took part in a carousel of interactive workshops covering a range of important safety topics, including:
- Road safety
- Water safety
- Making safe choices and understanding the consequences of shoplifting
- Fire safety
Running through all of the sessions was the key theme of peer pressure and how young people can recognise it, respond confidently, and make positive decisions. Pupils explored practical strategies for coping with difficult situations, helping them to stay safe, make responsible choices, and understand the importance of abiding by the law. The workshops were designed to be hands-on and interactive, with opportunities for role play and real-life scenarios that encouraged pupils to think carefully about their actions and responses. Our Year 6 pupils asked lots of thoughtful questions throughout the day and approached every activity with enthusiasm and maturity.
It was wonderful to see the children so engaged in learning skills that will help keep them safe now and in the future. A huge thank you to our PTFA for kindly part-funding the transport costs for this trip. Your continued support helps us to provide enriching experiences like this for our pupils.
Respect. Engage. Aspire.
