Keeping Ourselves Safe

Today as part of our keeping ourselves safe unit we had constable John in class talking to the students about being safe around people they don't know. As part of this we did a role play in which Constable John played the role of a stranger trying to get the students to get into his car. He offered lollies, ice creams and puppies.  Many of the students were happy to get in the back of his imaginary car, despite others saying "No Don't do it!"
Please talk with your child about the importance of not going with people they don't know.  Consider different situations e.g. what to do if you are late picking them up, what to do if someone stops outside your house and tries to talk with them...

We have continued the role plays throughout the day to reinforce this message and even discussed what to do if someone tried to make them go.

Phoebe was very firm in saying No! she was not getting into cowboy Jakes car even though he asked her to help him look for a lost puppy and said that he knew her mum and dad. Well done Phoebe.

In the role play below constable John and 3 others were pretending to be teenagers at the beach encouraging Takoda to come with them to a fort they had made in the sand dunes. They told her not to tell her parents and offered lollies and treats for her to go with them.
