“If they are harmful then they shouldn't be made in the first place - ban the product from sale completely.”
Rutlish School
“It is our choice what goes in our bodies. Energy drinks can be beneficial at certain times e.g. preparation for sports.”

Your latest results: “Should energy drinks be banned for under-16s?”
We’ve just gone through your results, and listen – we get it, energy drinks are big with under-16s. But have you ever thought about why, and what lies beneath the brilliant marketing tactics? Red Bull gives you wings right? Monster is busy unleashing the beast. But here's the thing. We spoke to a renowned doctor last month who told us if you want to live a long and healthy life you should look to have around 15-20g of sugar a day. The absolute max recommended is 30g. One can – just one can! – of Monster has 52g. There are no warnings, just powerful, misleading marketing that earns them millions in profits whilst the health of a generation suffers.
And that's why we at Bite Back are so passionate about this. Because a third of young people in the UK are now at risk of having their lives affected or in the worst cases cut short by food-related health conditions like Type 2 diabetes. One in three of us. Don't be fooled by them – be properly fuelled.
Stay awesome and take care of yourselves!

Today’s VoteTopic:
UNCRC Article 29:
Aims of education UN SDG 11: Sustainable cities & communities
VfS Key Theme 6: Community & charity
The first aid charity St John Ambulance recently found out that 29% of people felt very confident carrying out first aid.
Though this is a good start, the charity think that more people could be trained to give first aid.
The research also found that younger people had slightly better first aid awareness and confidence than older people.
Since 2020, lots of schools in England now teach first aid as part of health education. Should we continue rolling out first aid training? Today you are voting on: “Should everyone be first aid trained?”
Many young people have been learning first aid. There are charities and organisations that teach the key skills. Some schools give lessons on first aid.
Individual activity (5-7 mins)
Complete the stories about some inspirational young people who have put their first aid skills to use. Pick from the numbered options given. Beat your chest for your choice of answer.
CPR: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation combines chest compressions and rescue breaths to give a person the best chance of survival following heart problems.
In today’s lesson you have heard about young people who have saved lives using their first aid training.
Today’s VoteTopic question is: “Should everyone be first aid trained?” There are arguments for and against this.
Individual activity (5-7 mins)
Let’s explore some for and against arguments for today’s VoteTopic question. Which contrasting opinion do you agree with more, the Yes or No argument? Use your arms to make a tick for the Yes comment, or cross your arms for the No comment.
First aid training could help with our school subjects. There’s Biology involved, and there are important skills for PE and fitness.
There are so many “nice to haves”. I don't have time for any more learning on top of what I already have.
You never know when you might need these skills. It’s best for everyone to have them. What if we become parents and need to use first aid in an emergency?
It will be expensive to train everyone in first aid. There could be other ways to save lives. The money could be used to give everyone swimming lessons or road cycling lessons instead.
You don’t just learn first aid skills to help others. You also learn more about decisionmaking, confidence and responsibility.
It’s important that those who want to learn first aid are the ones encouraged. You don’t want to force people to learn skills they are not interested in.
The experts should be the ones giving aid. There’s a chance that I could make things worse.
In some cases 999 might ask you to do something to help a victim. If you have some confidence and skills, you will be better equipped.
Now’s your chance to vote on: “Should everyone be first aid trained?”
You never know when you might need these skills. It’s best for everyone to have them.
Getting first aid training lets you learn more about decision-making, confidence and responsibility.
999 might ask you to support a victim while waiting for help. If you have some confidence and skills, you will be better equipped.
You don’t want to force people to learn skills they are not interested in.
It will be expensive to train everyone in first aid. There could be other ways to save lives.
You will need to have training every now and then to keep your understanding fresh. We just won't keep up with it.

• You have a calm self-assurance that tells people you mean business.
• Her self-assurance becomes a major part of her personality.
• Did you manage to identify any key words from the true definitions? Well done if you did!
Self assurance is often confused with arrogance, but they are very different.
Self assurance means feeling sure of yourself and your abilities — not in an arrogant way, but in a realistic, secure way. It is not about feeling superior to others. It's a quiet inner knowledge that you're capable.
• KEYWORDS are highlighted!
• Can you think of a time when you have been self assured? What let you feel that way?
• What do you think you could do to feel more self assured?
If you aren’t feeling confident, how could you make yourself appear more self assured? Sometimes appearing that way can make you feel that way.
Talk about it with your partner.

Task Three
You can now work out your Rewards – consequences total.
This must be 0 or above to pass the Bronze level and above 50 to achieve Silver.
E.g. Achievement points = 84
Consequence points = 0
84 – 0 = 84

Avoid vague targets such as ‘do better’ and ‘try harder’.
