People Who Help Us

Our PSHE tasks this week are going to focus on looking at the NHS. Below

we have copied some slides from a Twinkl PowerPoint to give you some

information about what the NHS is and how it helps us.

There are lots of people in society who work hard to help and protect us. This

included the emergency services (police, firefighters, paramedics, doctors and

nurses) and many other jobs such as social services, postal workers, refuse

collectors and teachers. You will have heard the news refer to these people as

‘Key Workers’ at the moment as they are working hard to keep everyone safe.

Hopefully this has answered some of your questions about the NHS. We

know it is something that is being spoken about a lot in the news at the

moment and it can get very confusing.

More information on the NHS can be found on the Newsround website:

Challenge

Lots of healthcare workers are being mentioned at the news at the moment and

people are being celebrated for all that they are doing to help the NHS. Write a

letter to someone that you have spotted working incredibly hard to help others at

the moment. Make sure you explain why you are thanking them and what you are

grateful for.
