07.03.18 - A Visit from P.C. Sarah - 'It's Your Choice'

3/7/2018

PC Sarah helped us to understand that some drugs can be helpful but that others can be harmful and life-threatening.
Today PC Sarah visited our class to do a workshop titled 'It's Your Choice'. The workshop focused on 'Drugs' and aimed to help us understand that drugs may be legal, illegal or medicines. Through discussion and hands-on activities, PC Sarah helped us to understand the importance of making positive choices in our lives based on a knowledge of what is helpful and what can be harmful.  
In groups, we worked together to discuss the names of any drugs we knew, who might use drugs, why people might use drugs and the dangers of using drugs. Later we played a sorting game where we had to decide whether examples of different drugs were helpful drugs or harmful drugs.




We learnt that there are important health reasons why people take medicines and how these can improve the quality of someone's life. We talked in our groups about 'why' a person might be prescribed medicines by a doctor and our ideas included headaches, tonsillitis, having a tooth out, asthma and epilepsy. We talked about how many people who have different conditions and suffer from illnesses have to take medicine everyday. These include people with heart disease, people with high blood pressure, diabetics and people who suffer from hayfever. We all agreed that it is dangerous to take too much medicine and that it is important that we follow the prescribed dosage decided by the doctor or pharmacist.

We understood that a drug is something that changes the way your mind and body works and that we will need to make informed choices about drugs throughout our lives.
This afternoon, we learnt that there are some drugs which are damageing to take such as heroin, cocaine and ecstasy. People who abuse drugs such as these can face difficulties in their relationships with others, changes in their behaviour and character, and in some cases death. By the end of the session, we all agreed with PC Sarah that a drug is something that changes the way your mind and body works - sometimes in a positive way and sometimes in a negative way.

World Book Day Visit - Ymweliad Diwrnod Y Llyfr 
This afternoon we enjoyed visiting Cefn Glas Infants School to read stories to the children there as part of our joint 'World Book Day' celebrations. At half past one, we set off down the hill, looking forward to seeing the Infants and their teachers. We have very fond memories of our time there. 
Before long, we arrived at Cefn Glas and were welcomed to the school by Mrs. Johns. She asked us about which classes we'd like to visit to share our books with the children. Some of us wanted to read to our younger brothers and sisters at the school. We split into groups - some of us visiting the Nursery, some of us visiting Reception and others visiting Years 1 and 2.

We all thoroughly enjoyed reading to the infants. We tried to read the stories with as much expression as we could to bring them to life for the children. The children enjoyed looking at and talking about the colourful pictures in the books. The smiles on their faces and sparkle in their eyes showed how much they were enjoying listening to us read. We were impressed by how brilliantly the infants sat and listened to the stories. They enjoyed talking about what happened in the stories and asked lots of interesting questions. Many teachers  thought that some of us would make excellent teachers in the future!
We enjoyed catching up with Mrs. Johns and our teachers from Cefn Glas. They remembered us all and told stories about our happy times at the school. After reading to the children, we were treated to squash and biscuits in the school hall. We had a wonderful afternoon and really enjoyed reading to the children at Cefn Glas. Many thanks to Mrs. Henderson, Mrs. Johns, Miss. Shillam and all the staff and children at Cefn Glas for inviting us to the school and for making us feel so welcome. Diolch i chi gyd.
