Learning objective
- To know how to respond to adults politely and safely.
Statutory guidance
Being safe: Pupils should know:
- how to respond safely and appropriately to adults they may encounter (in all contexts, including online) whom they do not know
Differentiation
For pupils needing extra support:
Year 1: Have photos of people who work in school before for the ‘Guess who’ activity. Show them a visitor and staff badge. Ask the school secretary to explain how they sign in visitors.
Year 2: Give them a list of examples of places where they may meet adults outside of school to choose from before completing: Activity: Adults outside of school.
Pupils working at greater depth:
Year 1: Challenge them to think of other adults who might be in school for legitimate reasons (for example, governors, reading helpers, PTA helpers) and to explain how they would know that they have been allowed into school (visitor’s badge).
Year 2: Should be challenged to explain the importance of being polite and confident in potentially tricky situations, for example where they have to question an adult about something they do not understand or what they are doing in school.
