KidSafe in year 1

11th May 2023Charlotte Kirkham

This week in KidSafe, we gave KS (our puppet) a scenario where he was being bullied.      KS had Yukky feelings and the children came up with strategies to help KS.  One strategy was the telling of a trusted adult – children were asked to identify trusted adults in their lives to whom they could turn to for support if they ever had Yukky feelings.  The children in year 1 were really sensible and gave KS lots of really good advice.

We also helped the children learn about their voices and saying “No” in uncomfortable or unsafe situations.

On Friday Year 2 had a special visit from Tumbles, Grumbles and their friend Caroline from Little Rescuers.

We showed off everything we have learned so far in school including what to do in an emergency, how to contact Emergency services and how to treat injuries.

Well done Year 2, you are amazing little rescuers!

KidSafe in year 1

24th April 2023Charlotte Kirkham

This week in year 1 we will begin the Kidsafe programme.

Over the next few weeks children will be looking at the following areas:

 

Self-confidence and self-esteem; feelings/talking about feelings; dealing with bullying; respecting our bodies; communication skills; assertion skills: saying ‘No’; computer/internet safety; ratings on DVDs and computer games; how it feels to hear arguing; looking after our mental health and emotional well-being.

As parents/carers you are your child’s most important people in helping to ensure their safely. After each session we will send home a letter telling you what we did during the session so that you can talk to them about what they’ve been doing.

This week the KidSafe educator (class teacher) will play some getting to know you games with the children. These included talking about how children already keep themselves safe and the meaning of trust.  Children will be helped to become more aware of their feelings so that if they are sad, scared or worried they will have the vocabulary to voice those feelings. We will call these sad, scared or worried feelings ‘yukky feelings.’

 

 

Our Special Visit

2nd March 2023Miss A Samuels

Reception had a very special visitor this term! After learning about people that help us, the North East ambulance service visited Harton Primary School giving us a tour of an ambulance. We discussed the different equipment used by the paramedics and some of us even had our heart rate checked! After the visit, many of the children in reception were inspired to become real superheroes too, just like our paramedics.

Internet Safety

15th February 2023C Whitehead

This half term Year 3  have been learning all about keeping ourselves safe online. For our lesson this week, we worked in groups to create a ‘beat cyber bullying’ poster and then thought about two different scenarios that we could come across. We brainstormed our ideas of how we would feel about each scenario and what we could do help solve the problem of cyber bullying.

Mini Police

4th November 2022Mr R Donnelly

It was a pleasure to introduce our new Year 5 mini police cohort to the Inspector and other colleagues from Northumbria Police on Thursday.

They will be busy over the year with a range of duties, including reporting back to their peers about what they have learned in the sessions with police officers about keeping safe online, healthy relationships and water safety, as well as representing the school and the force at local events such as the Remembrance Day Parade on Sunday 13th November.

We know they’ll have a lot of fun and do a great job!
