Biddick Hall Infant and Nursery School is a ‘Kidsafe’ school. All children in our school from Reception to Year 2 take part in regular Kidsafe sessions where trained staff talk to children in an age appropriate way about how to stay safe. There is also a huge emphasis on discussion around emotional and mental health in the sessions. Children are able to identify a ‘trusted grown up’ to talk with if they have ‘yukky’ feelings. Those are the feelings that make us worry and sometimes make our tummies ‘feel funny’.
Our children have now been away from school for a number of weeks, they have not been able to see their teachers, friends and wider family members. They will be aware and maybe worried about this awful virus and it may have caused some ‘yukky feelings’.
Sophie Cox a ‘Kidsafe’ trained teacher from another local school in our area has put together this lovely video for your child to watch. Please ensure that you watch the video with your child in case they need to talk through any ‘yukky feelings’ they may have with you their trusted grown up.

If you are worried about your child and need further advice don’t hesitate to contact school in the usual way either by email [email protected] or via telephone 01914244859
KS Misses you all very much. Stay Safe.
