NSPCC Speak out, Stay Safe workshops for Years 2,5 and 6
I am pleased to inform you that we are participating in the NSPCC’s Speak out, Stay safe programme this term. Speak out, Stay safe is a programme for children aged 5-11 which aims to help children understand abuse in all its forms and to recognise the signs of abuse. Children are taught to speak out if they are worried, either to a safe adult or Childline. This child friendly programme is aligned with the curriculum and consists of age appropriate virtual assemblies and supporting classroom based activities which we have reviewed, alongside NSPCC volunteer led face to face workshops for children aged 6-7 and 9-11. The content is delivered in an engaging and interactive way with the help of the NSPCC mascot Buddy.

Life Education PSHE workshops
Each class will have an interactive workshop delivered by Coram Life Education, addressing children’s knowledge, skills, attitudes and values. This approach is designed to give pupils a voice and for them to feel empowered, able to identify and articulate their needs and feelings and to make healthy choices. Harold, their healthy-living giraffe mascot, helps to convey these messages to children, within a magical learning environment. Children's experience of Coram Life Education’s workshops is fun, engaging and memorable. On either Tuesday 20th or Wednesday 21st each class will have a special Life Education session led by Karen and Harold the Giraffe from Coram Scarf. The children have really enjoyed the sessions over the last couple of years and they supplement our PSHE (Personal, Social and Health Economic Education) curriculum. Harold the Giraffe scratch bookmarks will also be on sale for £1.00 for 2 bookmarks, 2 ribbons and a wooden stylus. The sessions will cover the following: Reception: All about me Year 1: My wonderful body Year 2: Feelings Year 3: Meet the brain Year 4: Great to be me Year 5: Friends Year 6: Decisions There will be an information session for parents on the Tuesday morning from 8.45-9.00am in the library area, should you have any questions or would like to know more about the sessions.
