'˜Bee Safe' are the buzz words amongst P7 pupils in Antrim
‘Bee Safe’ is an interactive learning experience, which uses role play and real life scenarios to inform our young people how to stay safe and make the right decisions. Situations covered include internet safety, drug and alcohol awareness, fire safety, inclusion and diversity, home safety in addition to safety on public transport.
Councillor Paul Michael, Chair of Antrim and Newtownabbey PCSP, said: “This practical, hands on activity learning is so important to the wellbeing of the young people in our borough and the timing is perfect as the children prepare to make that transition from primary to secondary education.
