???? Building a Brighter Community: A Visit from our Local PCSO ????


Last Friday afternoon, Year 5 and 6 had the privilege of welcoming our local Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) to the classroom for an important and thought-provoking session.

Understanding Choices and Consequences
The workshop focused on the concept of honesty and the impact of stealing. We explored different scenarios, including:

The hurt caused by taking something from a friend at school.

The serious legal and community consequences of shoplifting.

The children truly shone during the session! They engaged deeply with the topic, asking insightful questions and demonstrating a mature understanding of how our individual choices ripple out to affect our friends, families, and the wider community in Darwen. Our visitor was particularly impressed by how clearly the pupils could explain the importance of integrity and respect.

Reflection at Home
It was a fantastic opportunity for our pupils to build a positive relationship with our local police force and to reflect on their own values.

A question for reflection tonight:

"Why do you think being honest is the most important foundation for a strong friendship?"
