This week, our Year 5 pupils took part in an important and engaging drug awareness workshop led by Robert, a specialist educator with years of experience in working with young people. The session formed part of our wider PSHE (Personal, Social, Health and Economic) education curriculum, helping children to make informed, safe choices both now and in the future.
Robert's workshop was delivered in a sensitive, age-appropriate way, designed specifically for Year 5 children. He spoke with warmth and clarity, creating a safe and open environment where pupils felt comfortable asking questions and sharing their thoughts. Through a combination of storytelling, discussion, and interactive activities, the children explored topics such as:
-
The difference between helpful and harmful substances
-
How peer pressure can influence decision-making
-
Strategies for saying no and seeking help
