Primary School Speaker — Wellbeing & Online Safety
How to Make Friends & Stop Bullying
A primary school speaker has about five minutes to win the room. Jonny does it with humour and stories, then spends the rest of the session teaching Years 2–6 how to make friends, include others, stand tall against bullying and stay safe on the devices they're already using. Classroom posters are left behind so the language sticks. Runs as an assembly or class-group sessions. More on Jonny as a motivational speaker for schools.
