Staying Safe Winner

I received the Staying Safe Award because of the way I helped younger children. I showed the reception children how to behave safely in the dinner hall and also helped during the Year 1 & 2 Sports Day. I helped the children cross the road on the way to Sports Day and made sure they were safe as they took part in all the Sports Day events.
