As part of our PSHE curriculum, Year 5 had an exciting visit to Safetyworks! today. Each group visited a different interactive area of the centre to learn about staying safe inside and outside of the home. During road safety, children learnt how to cross a road safely; why looking right first is most important when crossing; and how to use the different types of road crossings. They then visited a house where they looked at electrical safety; how to ensure sockets aren’t overloaded; how to check fire alarms and evacuate a building safely; and when and how to call 999. Blue Cross for Pets then talked about how to read dogs’ body language; how to approach and stroke dogs safely; and what to do if a dog chases you. Children then visited the metro station where they learned about rail safety including where to stand on a platform; how to navigate level crossings, stopping distances of metros and trains; and the dangers surround electricity and rail. Finally, they looked at water safety and learnt how to spot dangers around water; what to do if you find yourself in trouble in the water; and how to read the different flags at the beach.
It was a fun and informative trip and everyone took some new learning away from it. We hope the children spread the important messages to those at home!
