Video: Do you want to be a hero?

﻿Hello, boys and girls. Welcome to lesson three of PSHE with me, Mr. Jamil. Your prime minister, your very proud prime minister. I've got a question for you today, do you want to be a hero? Now boys and girls, just to get us into the theme of this week, I thought I'd tell a joke. Now have to admit my pupils, hate my jokes, but let me know later on, on social media, whether you think this was a decent joke or whether you agree with my pupils, that they're very poor. So why did that Batman and Robin quit fishing? So why did that Batman and Robin quit fishing? Because Robin would eat all the worms. Robin, a bird, worms, no? Robin, a bird, worms, no? Okay, never mind I tried but that should give you a bit of a clue as to what the theme might be today. Can you hazard a guess? Well done, it's about superheroes, of course, well done. Before I move on to today's topic and the material for today, I think is really, really nice to say thank you and a big well done to everybody for the wonderful work that you are sharing on social media, via Twitter and via Facebook and via Instagram. via Twitter and via Facebook and via Instagram. Thank you to parents, thank you to carers, thank you to you for producing such wonderful work that you're clearly so proud of. And I hope we can do the same this week again. So boys and girls, can you hazard a guess with my pretty poor joke and what is that on Dr. Ted's mask? What we might be talking about today? Well done, we're talking about the NHS and there are heroes within the NHS. Now, before I do so I had to admit to Dr. Ted, and he said to me, "We felt a bit sad that we didn't have enough NHS workers to deal with the coronavirus pandemic, with the coronavirus pandemic, but with them we felt so proud that so many thousands of retired doctors and nurses came out of retirement to help save lives." But the question remained between me and Dr. Ted, we asked ourselves who will be the future of the NHS? And that's where you come into it, my deputy. we have to make sure the children of today consider a future working for the NHS. consider a future working for the NHS. To become one of those heroes, can you do it? So for today's lesson, you will need a pen or a pencil, some paper and a quiet space to work, some paper and a quiet space to work, or your deputy prime minister's office. Let's just pause there for a moment to make sure we've got everything we need. Brilliant, okay, so we are good to go By the end of today's lesson, boys and girls, you are going to have met some essential workers from the NHS. Some of those heroes that have to save so many lives during this pandemic. We are going to learn how to write a speech to persuade this generation to consider a career in NHS or as a key worker. to consider a career in NHS or as a key worker. They are going to play a vital role in saving lives in the future should anything sort of unfortunate like this happen again. We hope not, of course, but we have to be prepared. So your speech, boys and girls is going to be vital, trying to really motivate trying to really motivate students to want to take a career in NHS or as a key worker, are you up for it? Fantastic, let's have a look at today's learning journey. We're going to look at who those key workers are, we'll meet some of those wonderful heroes, we'll have a look at this issue around not having enough workers for the NHS and also making sure we have enough people working for the NHS in the future. We'll have look at a WAGOLL, which will help you put your own persuasive speech together. I will then put the task forward to you. Of course, at the end, you will self assess against the success criteria. Fantastic, okay boys and girls. So who are key workers? Can you hazard a guess? Emma, I'll ask you that question, what are your thoughts on that? That's really, really interesting. Emma is saying it is those people who continue to help us with continue to help us with very important services. Now, Emma, can you give an example of that? Well done the postman, of course, what a great example, Emma, you are absolutely spot on it is those critical workers who are providing essential services for us in response to lockdown as a result of coronavirus. Now, the postman is a great example. Can we think of any others? Let's just take a moment then. Fantastic boys and girls, did you get any of the following? Hands up if you got police. Hands up if you got police. Aha! Well done, that's quite a few of you. Now be honest, how many of you got journalists? Well done, I think after last week's lesson, we saw how important their services to the country did mean. Absolutely fantastic and I'm sure many of us have seen the fact that supermarket staff have been very, very important to us. Ensuring we can get the food that we need to bring back home. And of course the focus for today's lesson, the NHS staff. Now there's something I've missed off there, one particular other key worker. Now, can you hazard a guess to who that might be? Of course, it's teachers, isn't it? How can we forget? I'm sure boys and girls, you are missing your teachers but fear not, they're missing you too and hopefully we'll be back together very, very soon indeed. So boys and girls, what is the issue we are facing as a government? Well, where are our next crop of heroes? That put simply is how can we ensure that NHS will always That put simply is how can we ensure that NHS will always have enough heroes to deal with any problems that come by, come its way? Much like the issue that we have currently. In order to do that, we have to motivate the current generation to not only have the necessary skills and knowledge to work in NHS or want to work for the NHS. Now, are you up for the challenge Now, are you up for the challenge of motivating these children? Are you up for the challenge of ensuring that this generation will have an NHS that is skilled? Just like the one that we have now and we'll always be safe irrespective of anything that comes its way. That's what I need you for deputy prime minister, it's a big job. Are you up for it? Of course you are. So boys and girls let's meet some of these heroes of ours. Heroes that have saved lives and have safeguarded life. Let's see if we can work out based on what he's saying, what his job role is?

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we've continued to provide care for our patients although the way we work is slightly different. For instance, when we do see patients, we wear personal protective equipment like so so that we're protecting both the patient as well as ourselves. What I love about my job the most is that I'm able to help people from all different walks of life, whether it's a child or whether it's an elderly person, and we can help people with all variety of different illnesses, whether it's a physical health illness, whether it's the mental health illness. What do I do?

What do we think boys and girls? Let's just take a moment to think. Hmm, I think you're right, listen up. I'm a doctor working in general practise in North London.

Really fantastic boys and girls, great job indeed. Now let's move on to another hero. What do we think she does? Listen very carefully.

So I've been helping to save lives for over four years now. And my job has been particularly important throughout the coronavirus pandemic because I now have to focus on reassuring my patients and their parents of their safety in our hospital despite the pandemic. I originally trained to work across a range of departments within the hospital, but I now focus on working with children and young people, assisting the doctors with their duties and providing daily care. What is my job?

Both boys and girls on three only just scream at the top of your lungs. What does this young lady do? Three, two, one, go. Three, two, one, go. Fantastic, let's listen in.

I am a paediatric nurse.

Well done once again boys and girls very well worked out. Okay, let's listen very carefully to another one of our heroes here. Let's see if she gives us any clues as to what she does on a day to day basis as a hero for the NHS.

Hi, I'm Karen, I've been saving lives for 10 years. My job has been especially important during COVID-19. I've worked across the country in many hospitals. My main role is to make sure patients get the medicine that they need. What do you think I do?

So some nice little clues in there. What do we think she does boys and girls? Ah, some interesting takes on that. Let's see if we're right.

I'm a pharmacist.

Here's our final hero boys and girls.

I'm Aisha, I have been saving lives for 10 years. My job has been especially important during COVID-19. I have worked across many wards and departments, but spend most of my time in the operating theatre. What do you think my job role is?

Well, it sounds very familiar, doesn't it? And very similar so, I've created it as a bit of a question for you. Now can you throw your hands in the air if you think this young lady is a doctor, a surgeon. Hmm, quite a few of you. Now can you scream, "Nurse" Hmm, quite a few of you. Now can you scream, "Nurse" If you think this young lady is a nurse. Aha! That's quite a few of you there as well. Okay and finally, can you wave your hands in the air if you think this is a cleaner. Ah, not too many of you, but just a few. Okay, what I can reveal everybody Okay, what I can reveal everybody is that this indeed was a cleaner. This young lady cleans operating theatre every day This young lady cleans operating theatre every day and cleans all the different wards across the hospital. And as you can appreciate what an important job this has been throughout this pandemic. It is that very job that is helping to save so many lives. Now I think this quotation really sums up our NHS heroes Now I think this quotation really sums up our NHS heroes and it is by Martin Luther King. He said, "It is only in the darkness that you can see the stars." Now, I think we all appreciate, the NHS and the heroes in there, but only when we really found ourselves in the darkness through COVID-19, that we now truly see the value of them. I hope this is going to drive us on towards putting the great speech together and motivating the current generation to want to take up a job within the NHS. As always boys and girls here is a WAGOLL, what a good one could look like. Of course you are incredibly skilled and you will know exactly what to put in there. So I won't go into the details of that task again, as I've mentioned it quite clearly on the previous slide but this is the kinds of material, the kind of material that could be in there. Very quickly, will a summary of the problem, which is clearly a shortage of heroes. Who has stepped up currently to help out? So give that example of the thousands of retired doctors, nurses, care workers who have come back to support the NHS. How can the current children support our country and make all the difference? We have got to motivate them and really push them to aspire, to work for the NHS. And how can the children develop the skills needed to work with NHS? That is looking at ideas of That is looking at ideas of how to utilise a school experience. So you have to really get your creativity hats on, what is it about school? What subjects? What extra curricular activities you get involved in? What trips do you go on? How can we utilise everything in school to get us ready to work in a NHS job? That is a very, very important task. So let's look at this WAGOLL in more detail. Okay boys and girls, let's delve into this WAGOLL. Of course boys and girls, there are going to be are going to be elements that I've not included or you could do much better than I can. That is why I've chosen you as my deputy prime minister. So let's read it together, It has now been over two months since the people of this country, of our country have had to forfeit their freedom. And like never before they have shown courage in the face of adversity. Coronavirus or COVID-19 has been the most vicious threat we have ever encountered in our lifetime and we have worked tirelessly to prevent it from becoming an uncontrollable disaster. We have adopted special measures, such as social distancing and wearing face masks to stop the spread of the disease, but it doesn't end here. We must stay alert. Our NHS staff and our fantastic frontline workers have been essential in this fight against the coronavirus. They work tirelessly day and night risking their lives to save ours. We thank you. In addition to this, the Health Secretary, Mr. Oak has confirmed that 4,500 retired doctors and nurses have signed up to battle the COVID-19 pandemic alongside them. We thank you. I am addressing you now, the future of our country because we need a plan to ensure that NHS is protected. They have saved tens of thousands of lives, and have proven to be invaluable. They are warriors. They are conquerors. They are, they are our heroes. Can you imagine life today, had they not intervened for us? I urge you to consider a career in the healthcare sector or as a frontline worker, so you too can join the campaign to secure the health and safety of our nation. Whether we're going to school or working from home, now is the time to work harder than ever. We shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength to achieve our goals and prosper in any dreams we set out to achieve. So boys and girls, your task for today, I'm very excited about this because I really, really need you. I really need to tap in to your experience of school. So I know you can write a persuasive speech. I think you do it very, very well. Your teachers say so, they say, "Our pupils are wonderful at persuading." If I was to ask that question to your parents, I'm sure get the same response, "They're great at persuading us." That is not an element I'm worried about here. What I really want you to focus on is both the persuasion but importantly, I want to ensure you have considered how the school experience is going to give up our this generation, the necessary knowledge and skills to thrive as a hero for the NHS in the future. So I really need you to think carefully about school, the whole provision, the lessons you attend, the extracurricular activities you're involved in the trips you go on, everything. Everything is going to be so important in ensuring we persuade the children and we maximise that impact. And importantly, boys and girls, we must keep this at the forefront of our minds. The, this speech could create the next generation this speech could create the next generation of doctors, nurses, pharmacists or those wonderful workers with NHS who will save lives. Even if through your speech, boys and girls, one life is saved, don't you think that's worth it? Absolutely so, my deputy prime minister, the time is now let's get on with that task. Let's pause, let's think, let's get going. See you soon. An incredible job you have done absolutely fantastic boys and girls. I can't wait to see these on social media. Now before we are absolutely sure that we've done our best, Now before we are absolutely sure that we've done our best, it's always important to check our work, to check against the success criteria. It's actually a very, very good habit to have in school, in the place of work, wherever we are always double check what we're doing. So let's pause here for a moment and let's make sure this is the best version it can be. What an incredible lesson, boys and girls. Absolutely fantastic. As always, my deputies are doing a better job than I could ever do. I think they're going to have two prime ministers by the end of this pandemic, because you are doing such an amazing job. I must say boys and girls, if your parents or carers allow and we'll do it for you, please ask them to share the wonderful speeches I'm sure you've put together today via the social media, hashtag #LeanWithOak via Instagram or @OakNational via Twitter. It really makes my day to read the wonderful work that you put together. Now, as I began with a joke, I'm going to try and end on one. I hope you find it funnier than the one I told earlier. So I've tried to link this to the topic of today. So I've tried to link this to the topic of today. What superhero uses public transportation? Have a think, bus light year No? I found that hilarious. Nevermind, I'll try and think of some better ones. Boys and girls, it's been an absolute pleasure. My deputy prime ministers, you're doing an amazing job. I can't wait to see the work that you produce. Look forward to seeing you next week. Bye bye for now.
