This week, we have been learning how to stay safe.
On Monday, we had a talk from the Dogs Trust. We listened carefully to a talk in the hall. We had to decide which situations were safe and which situations were not safe. Some of the children’s comments are below:
- “If a dog is sleeping, it’s not safe to touch it.”
- “Don’t stroke a dog when it is eating.”
- “If you see a dog all alone, don’t touch it. Wait until someone (an owner) come and ask.”
On Tuesday, we looked at ways to keep safe in school. We did an indoor/outdoor risk assessment.
- “If you see a chair, put it under the table.”
- “You can’t run by the pool…it’s wet and you’ll slip.”
- “We can’t run in the classroom. We might bump put heads.”
On Wednesday, we looked at ways to keep safe on the road. We listened to a story about Super Cat, a cat who uses his senses for good to help children cross the road. We learnt the Super Cat’s road safety rap.
We also had a visit from the local fire station.
On Thursday, we listened to a story about Smartie the penguin. He taught us how to keep safe when using the internet. He told the children to always get support from a grown-up if something pops up on their screen and they don’t know what to do. Smartie taught us another safety rhyme.
