Parents

As a parent you are the most important person in your child's life, and you know a lot about your child. We want to welcome you to share in your child's education, by coming into school and sharing with us what you and your child have been doing at home. We love to hear it, so come and tell us.

Please remember that your child needs their PE kit on

Personal Development

In the spring term your child will learn how to identify those people who can help them if they have a problem or a worry. They will learn about how and when they can ask these people for help in different situations. They will learn about different kinds of touches, both good and bad, and the names of intimate body parts. They will learn that if they are touched in any of these areas, they must tell someone in their Safety Circle.  They will learn about different types of secrets. They will explore situations that make them feel unsafe or uncomfortable and when it may be necessary to say ‘No’. They will learn about the roles of people in the neighbourhood who help to keep them safe including health professionals and the police. They will begin to learn how they can use their Safety Eyes and Ears to help them work out whether a situation is safe or unsafe. They will learn how they can take some responsibility for their own safety in these situations including learning about the need for safety rules. They will learn to identify possible risks to their safety when they are out and about which will include exploring safe and unsafe places to play, learning basic road safety skills and learning how to keep themselves safe when they are lost and have become separated from a parent/carer.
