Children in Year 6 enjoyed a visit to SafetyWorks! in Newcastle. They learned about various aspects of safety in the home and in the wider community. This included how to keep safe in the kitchen; keeping their bedroom free from fire hazards; crossing the road safely on dark nights; using the metro; and also how to make sensible choices regarding behaviour as they get older. One of the favourite activities was role playing in Sainsburys where the ‘police’ were given the opportunity to arrest the child stealing sweets and put the in real handcuffs! The visit was extremely informative and we hope that the children have been able to come home and share some of the advice that they were given.
