 At home there are always distractions…a younger brother/sister….T.V. jobs to get done.  This session gives you the opportunity to have a 1-1 with your child to talk about important issues.  Safe use of medicines and safe storage of household products.

This morning there will be 3 activities to carry out. You can just talk to your child… Your child can record …. You can record for your child it is up to you!

 In their PHSE lessons in school each week, the children meet with Mrs Reeley and Kesby Bear in the Library.  They look at pictures of Kesby and talk about what Kesby is doing.  Last half term we looked at Kesby’s expressions to see how he was feeling, then talked about why he might be feeling like this….what makes us feel like this?  This half term it will be scenarios to act out … sharing, falling out, etc  They are in the process of making individual booklets, you are welcome to come and look at these later.

MEDICINES  Look at the boxes, packets.  Where do they come from?  Do you recognise any?  Have you taken any of these?  Why did you take them?  Where should they be kept?  Is it safe to take them without a grown up?  Can you take somebody else’s to make you feel better?

 Where do you think Kesby is?  What is he drinking?  What has happened to him?  What happens next?

 Your shopping bag.  Sort the shopping and talk about where the shopping needs to be stored.  Cupboard, high cupboard, fridge, bathroom.
