What’s happening in Year 6 – Week 3

Our Year 6 children participated in the Hackney Junior Citizen Scheme this week, engaging in a series of practical workshops designed to help them stay safe and make responsible choices within the community. The sessions covered:

• Dental hygiene and mental health strategies – Hackney Health and Wellbeing Team
• Safe and sensible bus and train travel – Transport for London
• Snatch-theft risks, reporting and personal safety – Met Police Transport Team
• Knife crime awareness, understanding risks and how to seek help
• Road safety, including crossing awareness and stopping distances
• Fire safety, proactive advice and escape routes – London Fire Brigade

The children represented our school with maturity and respect, engaging thoughtfully with each scenario. They gained valuable life skills that will support their growing independence as they prepare for secondary school. Each child received a certificate for being the best-behaved student! We couldn’t be prouder.
