risky behaviour

PSHE ground rules: a quick reminder!

• Understand everyone has the right to a different option – listen with tolerance and respect.

• Put up your hand if you wish to make a comment – await your turn.

• Keep questions and comments general, not personal.

• Use the correct, appropriate vocabulary (CHECK if you are unsure)

• Ask questions if you don’t know: and UNDERSTAND that not everyone knows everything!

• What’s said in the room, stays in the room.

Lesson 1:

By the end of this lesson we will…

… know what ‘risky behaviour’ is and how to reduce the risk to our personal safety.

…understand we are responsible for ourselves and how to seek support.

With your neighbour:

1. Come up with your own definition of what we mean by:

2. Write a list of things that may be considered

Risk

Risky

Risk means …In Italian, ‘rischio’ means danger!

The dictionary defines risk as ‘a situation involving exposure to

danger’

FEEDBACK:What is on your list of ‘risky things’?

It’s there to keep you safe!

How risky is …?

Move to a place on the line to show how risky you think the following activities are:

HIGH RISK LOW RISK

How risky is …?

How do risks make me feel?

What thoughts and feelings might someone have they were feeling SAFE or UNSAFE?

Add your ideas to the outline

Feeling safe

Feeling unsafe

Who influences me?

• THINK: on your own for 1 minute (no talking)

• PAIR: share your ideas with your partner and create a list - consider whether these influences are positive or negative.

• SHARE: be ready to feedback your ideas to the rest of the class. Add any to your list that you haven’t got.

A helping hand

Knowing who to turn

to for help – and

having the courage

to do it – is an

important life skill.

We all need to ask for

help sometime.

But it is our responsibility to ask to help – and to use the advice we are given.

Draw around your hand

1. If you felt unsafe at school, who would you ask for help?

2. If something happened out of school, who would you speak to?

3. If you were concerned about your health, who would you confide in?

4. If you were having problems at home or with a family member, who would you contact?

5. If you were worried about a relationship, who would you turn to?

6. Imagine you couldn’t contact any of the people above. Who would you contact for help? (UP YOUR SLEEVE)

You need 6 different names (1 for each finger, 1 up your sleeve)
