Year 6 were invited to take part in the Hackney Junior Citizen programme. It was held at the Hackney Museum and was all about helping young adults to become safer, healthier and even more helpful citizens. There were representatives from many different organisations; The Metropolitan Police, The London Fire Brigade, Homerton University Hospital, Hackney Council and Transport for London. The children visited each stand in small groups, where they learnt about different ways to keep themselves safe and healthy. They looked at rules for riding the bus, keeping safe while riding the tube, the dangers of smoking, what drinks were the healthiest to drink and many more. It was an extremely enjoyable and worthwhile visit.
