Year 6 went on a trip to Hampton Wick Cricket Club in Bushy Park to take part in the Junior Citizen Scheme – working in partnership with Transport for London, the London Fire Brigade, the Port of London Water Authority, the London Ambulance Service, the Royal Parks and the Metropolitan Police.
Working in teams, the pupils visited multiple scenarios to have a hands-on opportunity to learn how to look after themselves and others around them in various real-life scenarios. One of the favourite activities of the day was pretending to be a detective at a traffic collision scene and trying to work out who was at fault between a car and a bicycle. The biker was injured and the pupils had to find clues to what caused the collision. In the end, it was decided that it was the car’s fault, but the cyclist did not help themselves by not wearing a helmet, nor having a roadworthy bike.
