Year 5 (Class 12 & Class 13) - PSHE - Introduction to Primary Choices

21 March 2025

We have had amazing days at Elland Road completing the following workshops in the morning:

Anti Social Behaviour & Criminal Behaviour

We discussed age of criminal responsibility and affects on someone if they have a criminal record. We discussed anti-social behaviour and difference between criminal behaviour. We watched a video of the juvenile centre in Wetherby - this was very thought provoking!

Criminal Gangs and Grooming

We learnt about what a criminal gang is and what we think a gang member looks like. We also looked at the hierarchy of gangs and what to look out for regarding grooming - where an offender builds a relationship with someone they have targeted (victim).

Peer Pressure

We learnt about the meaning of peer pressure and looked at different scenarios and whether peer pressure was applied. We discussed ways we can handle peer pressure. We watched a video on how peer pressure can lead to murder charges been brought against all involved under ‘Joint Enterprise.’

Social Media

We looked at the risks of social media, including how we cannot fully filter what we see online and sharing certain harmful content is illegal. We also looked at other negative ways social media is used, including cyberbullying. We also looked at different family tracking apps, such as Life360 and Family Link.

Stadium Tour

We then enjoyed a stadium tour in the afternoon visiting the home dressing room and the home dug out before receiving certificates for our day!
