Safeside Visit

Posted: 23/01/2017

Year 5 headed to Safeside in Birmingham where they were treated to a fabulously interactive day, taking part in the Junior Citizen programme. Eleven life-like scenarios including a canal scene, supermarket, street scene, purpose built rooms in a house and much more took the children through an interactive, practical journey. The children learned how to recognise key dangers and understand how to reduce risk both to themselves and others. They also took on the role of the police taking a turn with the speed gun outside and the children were pleased to see many drivers were keeping to the speed limit but also disappointed to find that some were not! The children were presented with a certificate at the end of the day to show they had participated in the programme.
