Today Your Child Learned…
Dear Parent & Guardian,
We are excited to share that your child has completed the following PSHE lesson. Check out our overview and top tips to support their development…
Today’s PSHE Lesson
Drugs, Alcohol And Smoking (What Is A Drug?)
This topic is a progression from what was learned in year 2 about medicines, smoking and alcohol. It talks about what a drug is and how it affects our body. It talks about how people might feel if they have been smoking, drinking alcohol or taking drugs and the long-term side effects of this including addiction.
What We Covered In The PSHE Lesson
Here’s what we went through today…
- What a drug is?
- Why people choose to smoke, drink alcohol and take drugs?
- Who they can talk to if they are worried about the effects that these substances can have on them, especially if this is happening in their home?
How You Can Help From Home
Here’s what you can talk about during dinner…
- Talk to your child about the reasons why people smoke, drink or take drugs.
Go Above & Beyond
Here are some other ideas to support your childs PSHE lessons…
- They have been learning about the effects of passive smoking on their health.
- Where to get help If they are worried about passive smoking on their own health or if they have concerns about someone that smokes, drinks or takes drugs.
- Talk about how smoking, drinking and drug taking can be stopped and the organisations that can help with this.
- Discuss how your child feels about drugs, alcohol and smoking, discuss what they might do or say if they are offered these substances.
- How could you work together as a family to support someone who has difficulty with or problems around drugs, smoking or drinking alcohol?
When it comes to your child’s development, teachers and parents are better together! By aligning our goals and education techniques, we can better realise our vision of positively preparing your child for their future.

The pupils at our school are really enjoying the lifewise scheme. The scheme is very staff-friendly and easy to monitor. More staff are now teaching lifewise as a consequence and all the DfE statutory guidance (+more) is covered. The staff at lifewise are extremely professional. As it is a digital platform, lessons are constantly being up-dated and improved.

Lifewise is a fantastic tool to use. It is easy and clear to navigate and as well as in class we have used Lifewise during remote learning sessions, whilst in lockdown.
I would thoroughly recommend this 'wellbeing session' tool to any school. It is exceptional.

Lifewise was so helpful for my online ELSA sessions. The format gave the children the chance to express their emotions. They loved the quiz and enjoyed the conversation.
