| To complement our Drug Alcohol and Nicotine resources for Key stage 3 Talk about Drug, Alcohol and Nicotine Education tool kit | Talk About Trust Following pilot and trial across 9 primary schools in Dorset and informed by NHS commissioned vaping work across Greater Glasgow and Clyde and Inverclyde over the last 18 months, we are thrilled to make openly available a suite of KS2 resources , carefully mapped to RSHE requirement that use games and activities that raise awareness of vaping and nicotine. They are designed to complement bought in programmes such as Coram Scarf and Jigsaw, adding depth and nuance. We also offer staff training to build confidence and knowledge. |
The free comprehensive vaping resources for Key stage 2 for schools include a suite of stand alone games, pictures, activities, lesson plans, PowerPoints and implementation guidance available for you to download and use! https://talkabouttrust.org/resources/schools/vaping-education-primary-teacher-workbook/ Every game and activity has been tested by pupils in years 4, 5 and 6, as well as being informed and shaped by class tutors and head teachers. Full training is available via our expert regional staff. Email kate@talkabouttrust.org for more details.
Full drug education scheme of work for Key stage 2 to follow
Due to a rise in early use of inhalants (such as NOS), the negative impact of energy drink use and the importance of preparing pupils for transition, we are extending our primary Key stage 2 programme for Years 4 ,5 and 6 to ensure that the RSHE statutory guidance is met, namely, that by the end of primary school, pupils should know the facts about legal and illegal harmful substances and associated risks, including smoking, alcohol use and drug-taking.
