Be Safe Be Happy Week 2023 (BSBHW)

5th Nov 2023

It was a really full week of workshops and lessons focusing on different ways the children can recognise and respond to worries and dangers.

The children explored various issues in a range of age-appropriate ways. Among the important matters explored were bullying and falling out; staying safe online; the importance of maintaining good mental health and wellbeing; road safety; being seen in the dark and knowing what to do if approached by strangers; fire safety at home as well safety matters linked to being around railways, open water and building sites; as well as the NSPCC ‘pants’ lesson focused on personal physical safety.

On Monday 6^th November the children will meet representatives of our local police during a special assembly.

I would like to thank my colleagues for all their hard work. I would also like to thank our friends from South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue, South Yorkshire Police, Mr Paige who talked about dangers linked to playing on building sites and Megan from the LINKS School Sports Partnership who led dance sessions for children to join in with their buddies focused on getting active to be happy.
