Wellbeing Wednesday

The focus for today's well being Wednesday was Stranger Danger. The children discussed strangers with their key workers during group time. Amanda introduced the Ofsted inspector and Asda community visitors as safe strangers earlier in the week to make children aware that sometimes we may need strangers to help us. This was also a message that Lisa conveyed to the children when we had our visit from the local Police Community Support Officer. Practitioners also read the story of Little Red Riding Hood during story time and discussed the issues of Red Riding Hood stopping to talk to the wolf. Children were encouraged to think about dangers and learn about ways to stay safe. We also have some information for parents on how to approach the issue of Stranger Danger with children so that families can carry on educating children at home. Displayed on the front door of nursery for the rest of this week is some online safety support information for parents as strangers online are probably a much bigger risk to children in these modern times than strangers on the streets. For further information on how you and your family can stay online please log on to saferinternet.org.uk they have some fantastic support information and resources.
