PSHCE

We will understand how to keep ourselves safe in familiar environments, such as home and school, and unfamiliar environments like the park, near the canal or at the beach. We will learn what to do if someone has an accident or is hurt.

We took part in a Children's University Masterclass by the Canal and River Trust about water safety.

This is what we found out:

If you can swim, you should still not go near the water as it is deep and you don't know what is underneath. (Emad)

If you don't know how to swim, you can wear a safety jacket. (Aila)

Follow SAFE- Stay Away From Edge! (Tanzeela)

British Values and RRS

We will develop our understanding of British Values further by linking them through our learning and in our assembly times. This half term we will focus on Individual Liberty and Mutual Respect and Democracy.
