Children in Year Six had an exciting, informative and potentially life saving afternoon at Crucial Crew today.
With the support and assistance of some key partners, North Yorkshire Police have been delivering Crucial Crew safety workshops to Year 6 pupils across the region for over 20 years.
Children took part in a number of workshop sessions throughout the afternoon covering vital personal safety and behaviour topics such as road safety, internet safety, water safety and how to make an emergency call, and much, much more.
They very much enjoyed the interactive sessions and hearing from the experts including staff from North Yorkshire Police as well as North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service.
We all know the old saying ‘use it or lose it’ and with examples like this of children putting the skills they have learnt into action, we know how important the lessons learnt at Crucial Crew are to young people’s safety.
The Crucial Crew Team have developed a lively and colourful online urban adventure game that challenges children, in a fun and interactive way, to test out the life skills they have learnt while attending Crucial Crew sessions.
Children are presented with all kinds of tricky challenges, from perilous water and rail scenarios to cyber bullying and citizenship – all wrapped up all in an online game.
They can play on any device – desktop, tablet or phone – so children can play in school in an ICT or PHSE lesson, or at home (after homework of course!)
The game can be accessed here.
