Living and Learning-Safety Week Electrical Safety
Wow! What a superb week we have had! Everyday, we have had something very exciting planned to help us learn about safety. Today was no different. We had an education advisor from Northern Powergrid to help us learn about electrical safety. You too can find out what we learnt here.
Electricity is really useful but also very dangerous. We learnt about how it is made, transported to our homes and how it can electrocute us if we’re not careful! We were given booklets and pencils to help remind us of the ways that we can ‘Be Careful’ around electricity in our homes.
‘I loved the electricity machine Leena had. Seeing the electricity was so cool and also a bit scary!’
‘This week has been the best week ever!’
Leeds Art Gallery Trip (Living and Learning – staying safe in the environment)
We had a fantastic day at Leeds Art Gallery today. The children enjoyed this new experience and were captivated by the paintings, drawings, sculpture, installations and video art. We were lucky enough to see some 500 year old drawings by Leonardo da Vinci – they were so detailed but smaller than we thought they would be.
As part of Staying Safe week, we also highlighted all the things that help us stay safe when we are out and about. We wore high-vis jackets, seatbelts on the coach, lined up, walked with a partners, stayed near our adults and were counted many times by our teachers!
Fire engine visit (Living and Learning – Safety Week)
We were visited by White Watch who talked to us about how the fire service keep s safe.
Living and Learning – Internet safety
We had a fantastic time at the workshops delivered by One Day Creative. We learnt about how to stay safe online through a simple message : THINK, STOP, TURN OFF, TELL. The children played an imaginary online game and were confronted with situation where they should follow the guidance to think, stop if it feels uncomfortable, turn the game off and tell a trusted adult.
Living and Learning – staying safe at home
We discussed different scenarios that children might encounter at home. They were very good at talking about the mistakes that had been made, what might happen and what is the right choice to make.
Living and Learning – staying safe at school
The children talked about the ways that they are kept safe and keep themselves safe at school. Children not only talked about the physical environment but also how they can keep themselves emotionally safe too.
Living and Learning (Staying Safe) – d:side workshops
All year 1 and 2 classes have been visited by d:side, a health education provider, who have shown us how to make healthy and safe choices. The children listened brilliantly and could talk about how to look after their bodies and what goes in to them.
Help at home by talking about making healthy and safe choices when it come to our bodies.
Living and learning (staying safe) – Dogs Trust
We had a dog safety workshop delivered by the Dogs Trust today. We learnt about what they do to care for dogs and how to keep safe around dogs.
Living and Learning Homework-What is a drug?
All the year 1 and 2 classes have had fantastic homework review sessions this week. There were lots of varied examples of what a drug is. We will be learning more about this topic during our Safety Week next week. 
Class assemblies
Thank you to all the parents, carers and family members who came to support the children over the last three weeks. It is very exciting to share what we have been learning and the children were very proud of themselves, as were the teachers.
