In Primary 7 pupils have been learning about the effects of smoking, drugs and alcohol on our bodies. They know these are addictive substances that are harmful to them. They have completed lots of research into this and talked about how peer pressure could be something they might face in the years ahead in relation to this.
This week as part of their topic, student teacher Mr Murphy invited Nurse Éadaoin Smylie in to teach the class about these important issues and the consequences of taking these substances. The class prepared questions for Aideen and she gave interesting answers to the pupils which really made them think! The class also performed some role plays they had been working on, showing how they could react and how they could stand up for themselves if faced with a tricky scenario. Thank you to Mr Murphy and to Éadaoin! 👏
