Year 6 Junior Citizenship Trip


Today, the Year 6 pupils attended the Junior Citizenship experience and met people from the police, the London Fire Brigade, Havering Safer Transport, Transport for London and many others. The pupils were put into groups and visited different scenarios hosted by various agencies on a carousel. 

We met the Royal Lifeboat Rescue Service and the man explained to us about the dangers of currents
and tides when in the water. We learned that we should never enter water alone and that if we are struggling, we should try and stay still with our arms up in the air and shout 'help' as loudly as possible.

Representatives from litter enforcement were present today to ensure that pupils were aware of the terrible effects of rubbish on animals. 80% of children in our year group stated that they had seen the effects of litter on local wildlife. 

We were very lucky to hear all about how to stay safe while travelling, an important thing to remember as our pupils move up to secondary school. Transport for London brought along a bus so the children could rehearse safely waiting on the side of the road and using their zip cards. They also discovered how to stay safe on buses and what to do if they ever see an unattended bag. 

It was good to learn that when waiting for a bus you should wait far behind the bus stop. The ideal guideline is your height and a step back! If you fall into the road, you could be seriously hurt so it is not worth taking the risk.

You must check your smoke alarm once a week at home and change the battery once a year. If there is a fire, you should stay as low as possible because smoke rises. 
Ijeoma

The teams collected points for behaviour, listening skills and retention of knowledge and all scored at least 87 points out of a possible 90. 

Overall, a fantastic trip which allowed our children to learn life skills and to experience real-life situations which may arise in the future.
