Lesson video

Hello, everyone, and welcome to today's lesson all about local heroes with me, Miss Jadoon.

Today, we're going to be talking about local heroes, people who live in our community and help to look after and protect it.

I bet you know all about them.

So let's explore some more.

In this lesson, you will need an exercise book or some paper and some colouring pencil.

Pause the video while you go and collect these items. We're going to start off by looking at community care.

The section after that is called carer or protector.

And then we're going to look at something called Help! And finally, you're going to create something called, What do I do? Community care is all about the community and the people who help to look after the community.

Who can you think of who lives in your community and helps to look after it? Hmm, now let me see.

Are some of our everyday local heroes.

You have nurses, bin men and women, doctors, delivery drivers, firefighters, cleaners, and police officers.

All of these people help to look after our community and make sure that it is safe.

Some of the people who live in our communities are carers and others are protectors.

Let's see if you can help to identify who is a carer and who is a protector.

Now you're going to decide which of these individuals is a carer or a protector.

Some of these people help to care for the community and look after it.

They make sure that everything is running smoothly and that services are being provided for all people.

So carers look after the community.

Protectors protect the community.

They make sure everyone is safe.

So let's have a look.

Can you guess which of these is a carer and which of these is a protector? Pause the video while you decide who is a carer and who is a protector.

Now, let's have a look.

A nurse is a carer.

Bin men and women are carers.

Doctors are carers.

Delivery drivers are carers.

Firefighters are protectors.

Cleaners are carers.

And police officers are protectors.

In the next section, you will be presented with scenarios.

It's called, Help! So when you're in trouble and you need help who do you call? Who comes to your rescue? Let's see if you can work it out.

Help, there's a fire! Who can help me? How will they help me? Pause the video and decide who this person needs to help them.

Help, I've fallen, and I've hurt my ankle.

Who can I call? Help, I've run out of medicine and can't go to the pharmacy to pick it up.

Who will help me? Help, I can't make sure the patients are recovering if the hospital is a mess.

Who do I need? This section is called, What do I do? Now you're going to move on to your activity.

Are you excited? Me too.

Let's go.

Your task is to create an information sheet about a local hero.

It will be titled, What do I do? Draw a local hero you may have seen in your area and write three sentences about what they do.

There is an example on the next slide.

I am a police officer, and it is my job to keep the streets safe.

I protect the people in the community.

I fight crime and make sure people follow the law.

Here is an example of a What do I do information sheet.

This is what yours should look like.

So you've got to start by drawing a local hero from the community.

So it could be a nurse, a doctor, an engineer, a delivery driver, a firefighter, or a police officer.

It's up to you.

Make sure they are wearing their uniform so the person who sees it knows who you've drawn and they can recognise what job they do by their uniform.

Then think.

Think about what they do.

How do they help people? What responsibilities do they have? What jobs do they have that help them to look after people? And then write.

Write three sentences about what they do and how they do it.

I can't wait to see some of your work.
