How to keep yourself safe
Keeping yourself safe!
We all like to have fun whether it is playing with our friends, playing on-line or hanging around with our friends at the weekend. However, it is important that when we are having fun we also keep ourselves, and our friends, safe.
Below are some hints and tips for keeping yourself safe and some links to websites offering help and advice if you are worried about anything.
Bullying
If you or someone you know is being bullied, it is important that you tell someone. It doesn't have to be your teacher or your parents, it could be your school councillor, your midday assistant or putting a worry in the 'Worry Box' in your classroom.
The link below will offer you helpful advice and tips.
