Introductie

Part of LessonUp's Summer Safety Series. In this session, pupils are introduced to the theme of Summer Safety and get to explore some of the topics across the unit.

Instructies

We have designed our Summer Safety lessons so that teachers can pick up and teach a topic to their class with confidence.

We have chosen to use a balance of interactive tools and 'unplugged' creative activities.

Lessons can be taught directly from the LessonUp slides but work best when children have access to the pupil app

Lessonup.app

If you have any questions or want to know more, please do get in touch. We'd love to show you how LessonUp can make 'Every Class Better Than The Last'

1. Play Safe & Have Fun

Summer Safety

This lesson can be used a a stand alone activity or as part of your school's PSHE curriculum.

Lessons link to the PSHE association objectives for KS2:

H38. how to predict, assess and manage risk in different situations

H41. strategies for keeping safe in the local environment or unfamiliar places (rail,

water, road) and firework safety; safe use of digital devices when out and about

In this lesson, we will:

• Talk about how our
   holiday is different to
   the school term.

• Look at how we can
   play safe in the holidays

Explain the objective to the students and make sure they understand what they will learn by the end of the lesson.

This activity will enable you to gather some ideas about the ways in which your class spend their holiday time.

You may wish to adapt the question to suit your class context as this may be a difficult subject for some in your class.

Further information on adding mindmaps to your LessonUp lesson can be found here.

Summer is an exciting time

Ask the students why they think summer safety is important and discuss their answers as a class.
