Junior Citizenship
On 22nd November 2019, Year 6 were very lucky to visit the Ilford Army Reserve Centre for a Junior Citizen Programme. They learnt valuable life skills such as:
- How to use trains safely, staying away from the yellow line and how to report emergencies on platforms
- How to use public transport responsibly and respectfully, following the behaviour code to ensure they do not lose their free Zip Oyster card
- What to do when they see an unfamiliar package on public transport
- How to report fires in the home and what to do in an emergency
- Take responsibly to keep streets green, clean and safe. The children wrote a pledge on what they can do to help make the streets cleaner and safer.
- How to stay safe online and being careful not to send indecent images of themselves or other people over the internet
- Never take suspicious items from strangers in return to do jobs for them
- Calling the police in an emergency
- Knife crime – do not run after criminals
