On Monday, the whole school took part in a special assembly from the NSPCC. We learnt that all children have the right to speak out and be heard, be safe and be listened to.
We learnt that all of us have worries, sometimes big and sometimes small. We learnt that our emotions are like a giant bag: the more worries we have, the more we fill the bag. This then helped us to understand why it is important to speak out when we are feeling worried or unsafe. Each time we speak about our worries, we remove it from our bag!
We realised that there are many people we can speak to like our parents, a trusted adult (over 18years), a teacher or member of staff, another family member, the police or even Childline.
Finally, we learnt that Childline is a number that is always there for us. 08001111 is a number, not to be forgotten!
