Knife Crime Workshop Y5 & Y6

Year 5 and 6 took part in a knife crime worship, in partnership with Northumbria Police.

Representatives from Northumbria police came to visit our upper KS2 classes to talk about the perils of knife crime and consider the consequences of this.

The pupils took part in the interactive workshops, which covered:

• risks of carrying a knife or a bladed article
• misconceptions about knives
• why people might carry a knife
• helping students to have some understanding of the consequences of carrying a knife
• sources of support for young people

The workshops were really informative and helped our pupils gather a better understanding of some of the issues the police and young people in our community are facing.
