THIS FREE 5-WEEK PSHE UNIT teaches children about communities, safety and rules and emergency situations, helping them understand the important role they play in the world around them. Designed for Years 1–2, it explores community groups, people who help us, stranger danger, safety rules and how to respond in emergencies through practical activities, discussion and a child-friendly, interactive approach.

Pupils learn about the different communities they belong to, the roles people play in keeping communities safe, and why rules are important. Children also explore personal safety, how to recognise unsafe situations, and what to do if they need help, including understanding what an emergency is.

THIS PSHE UNIT INCLUDES:

• 6 fully planned lessons with PowerPoint presentations
