Lesson video

Hello, my name is Ms. Wroth.

Today, we're going to be looking at the lesson called, "Fire safety, burns, and fireworks.

" This fits into the lesson unit, "Staying safe and healthy: How can I avoid harm?

" Now in this lesson, we're going to be talking about things that might make you feel worried or uncomfortable.

For example, we're going to be talking about what can happen if we get burnt by fire and what to do in that situation.

So for this lesson, it is recommended that you have an adult with you present before you continue watching the video.

Today's lesson outcome is, "I can describe dangers related to fire and fireworks.

" Let's begin by taking a look at the ground rules together.

Laura says we should listen to others.

Andeep says we should respect privacy, and that means if somebody decides to share a story or their own experience, that we don't go and repeat it to others outside of this lesson.

Jacob says, "No judgments," and that means if somebody does decide to share their own story or experience, that we don't judge them because of it.

And Izzy says, "Choose your level of participation," and that means you can decide if you simply just want to listen or if you want to share something throughout.

All of these ground rules are here to keep us safe throughout the lesson.

Here are today's keywords.

We have dangerous and emergency.

Dangerous means something that can cause us harm, and emergency is a dangerous situation that needs immediate help.

Let's see if we can spot any of these keywords throughout today's lesson.

Here is the lessons outline, and we're going to begin with, what are the most common dangers with fire?

Fires can be caused by different things such as matches, lighters, candles, and gas from a stove.

Fires can also be caused by electrical appliances.

An electrical appliance is any device or machine that needs electricity to work, such as ovens, washing machines, microwaves, and phone chargers.

Some items are flammable.

This means that they can catch fire quickly when they come into contact with heat, sparks, or flames.

Flammable items include paper and cardboard, clothing or soft furniture, like sofas or curtains, batteries, and cleaning products.

Time for a check for understanding.

List three items that can cause fire.

Pause this video so you can have some thinking time.

Well done for having a go.

The answers include matches, lighters, candles, gas from a stove, and broken or faulty electrical appliances.

Well done if your answer was similar to mine.

Fires can seriously harm and kill people.

Fires can also spread quickly, which can lead to the destruction of property and belongings.

Fires are incredibly difficult to put out.

Once a fire has spread, there is no way to control it without the help of the fire services.

Smoke inhalation is another dangerous aspect of a fire because it can cause serious harm even before the flames reach you.

Smoke from a fire contains toxic gases that can make you dizzy, confused, or even unconscious.

This makes it difficult for people to move to a safe space during a fire or to call the fire services.

Time for a check for understanding.

Why is fire so dangerous?

Is it A, because fires can kill people, B, because fires are easy to control, C, because it is difficult to start a fire, or D, because smoke inhalation can make you dizzy, confused, or unconscious?

Mm, why is fire so dangerous?

Pause this video so you can have some thinking time.

Well done if you said A and D.

Fires are dangerous because they can kill people, and smoke inhalation can make you dizzy, confused, or unconscious.

Time for a task now.

Label the dangers of fires around this picture.

One has been done for you, and I've written, "Fires can kill people.

" Pause this video so you can have some time to do the task, and then we will go through the answers together.

Well done for having a go.

Your answers could include, Fires can seriously injure people.

Smoke inhalation can make people dizzy, confused, or unconscious.

Fires can spread easily.

And fires can destroy belongings and property.

Well done if you got all of those answers.

We're now going to move on to the second part of our lesson, what should I do if someone gets badly burned?

If someone has been badly burned and the fire is still burning, we must try to move to a safe space.

Then, we must call 999.

We should ask for the ambulance service and the fire service.

We can still call the emergency services from a phone, even if the screen is locked with a password.

Ask your trusted adult to show you how to do this.

When you call 999, you will need to tell the operator on the phone what has happened and where you are.

The operator on the phone will tell you what to do to keep safe.

Time for a check for understanding.

What should we tell the operator on the phone during a fire emergency?

Pause this video so you can have some thinking time.

We should tell the operator on the phone where we are and what has happened.

Well done if your answer is similar to mine.

Ambulance driver, Courtney, says, "Burns can be serious and must be treated quickly.

The operator on the phone might tell you to cool the burn by holding it under water.

Try to do this until the ambulance service arrives.

" Dr. Elsie says, "The operator on the phone may also tell you to remove any clothes or jewelry.

Clothing or jewelry can trap heat against the skin, making the burn worse.

" Dr. Elsie says, "After cooling the burn and removing any clothing or jewelry, it can be covered in cling film to prevent it from becoming infected.

" Time for a check for understanding.

True or false?

Holding a burn under water helps to cool it.

Mm, you can give me a thumbs up if you think it's true, or a thumbs down if you think it's false.

Holding a burn under water helps to cool it.

True or false?

Pause this video so you can have some time to do the task, and then we will go through the answers together.

Well done for having a go.

Your answers could include, try to find a safe space to move if the fire is still happening.

Call 999 and ask for the ambulance service or fire service.

Listen to the operator on the phone.

You might need to cool the burn by running it under water or remove jewelry and clothing.

And finally, cover the burn in cling film to protect it from infection.

Well done if you got those steps correct.

We're now going to move on to the third and the final part of our lesson, how do I stay safe around fireworks?

Fireworks can be great to watch from a distance.

However, they can be extremely dangerous if used incorrectly.

Fireworks should only be lit by adults, never children.

Police Officer Kofi says, "Did you know that you must be over the age of 18 years to buy fireworks?

" It is important to stay close to your trusted adult who is not lighting the fireworks.

For garden fireworks, we should stand about 8 meters away.

And at large firework displays, like on bonfire at night, we should stand at least 25 meters away.

Time for a check for understanding.

How far away should we stand at a large fireworks display?

Is it A, 8 meters, B, 12 meters, or C, 25 meters?

Mm, who can remember?

How far away should we stand at a large fireworks display?

Pause this video so you can have some thinking time.

Well done if you said C, 25 meters.

We must stand 25 meters away when we are standing at a large fireworks display.

If you see a firework that does not go off or seem stuck, do not touch it.

Tell a trusted adult and never go near a faulty firework.

A faulty firework, something that is broken or doesn't work.

If you are holding a sparkler, it is recommended that you wear thick gloves to protect your skin.

It is important not to wave sparklers near other people and to keep your sparkler at arms length.

That's the distance from your shoulder to your arm.

Once a sparkler has gone out, put it in a bucket of water if possible and let it cool down.

Accidents can happen around fireworks and sparklers.

If our clothes catch on fire, we should, try to cover our face to protect our eyes and skin.

Drop to the ground immediately.

Roll backwards and forwards to put the fire out.

Jacob says, "Let's practice these steps now.

" You can pause this video so you can have a go.

Well done for having a go.

Time for a check for understanding.

True or false?

It is okay to wave sparklers near people.

Give me a thumbs up if you think it's true, or a thumbs down if you think it's false.

Mm, it is okay to wave sparkler near people.

True or false?

Pause this video so you can have some thinking time.

Well done if you said false.

Now, I'd like you to have a little think about why this statement is false.

Pause this video so you can have some thinking time.

Okay, so this statement is false because sparklers burn at high temperatures.

If we wave them to closely to other people, we might burn their skin or set their clothes alight.

Time for a task now.

Create a poster to help keep people safe around fireworks.

Include a safety tip on how to use sparklers.

Pause this video so you can have some time to do the task, and then we will go through the answers together.

Okay, well done for having a go.

Your poster could look like this.

How to stay safe around fireworks and sparklers?

Stay close to your trusted adult who is not lighting the fireworks.

Stand at least 8 meters away from garden fireworks, and 25 meters away at large firework displays.

If you don't see a firework that doesn't seem to go off or seem stuck, do not touch it.

Wear thick gloves when holding a sparkler, and never wave it near other people.

Keep the sparkler at arm's length.

Once a sparkler has gone out, put it in a bucket of water if possible and let it cool down.

If our clothes catch on fire, we should try to cover our face to protect our eyes and skin.

Drop to the ground immediately and roll backwards and forwards to put the fire out.

Well done if your poster has the same information as mine.

This brings us to the end of our lesson.

Thank you for joining with me today.

Here is a summary of everything that we've covered in today's lesson.

Matches, lighters, candles, gas from a stove, and electrical appliances can start fires.

Fires are dangerous because they can injure and kill people.

They can also spread quickly and damage belongings and property.

If someone gets seriously burned, we must try to move to a safe place and call the emergency services on 999.

If the fire is still burning, we should ask for the fire services.

While we wait for help, we can treat a burn by removing clothing or jewelry, cooling under water, and covering with a cling film.

We can keep safe around fireworks by standing several meters away and staying close to our trusted adults.

Children must never light or touch fireworks.

Here is a slide of different places that we can get support.

We have the NHS websites, where the NHS provides advice about health and prevention including how to access services.

We have the British Red Cross, which is a volunteer-led organization which offers support for people including first aid.
