Lesson video

Hello, my name is Ms. Wroth.

Today, we're going to be looking at the lesson "Dangers in the home." This fits into the lesson unit, "Staying safe and healthy: How can I look after my body?" Now, in this lesson, we're going to be talking about things that might make you feel worried, so it's recommended that you have a trusted adult with you before you continue watching the lesson.

Have you got your trusted adult with you? Great.

Let's get ready to begin.

Today's outcome is, "I can describe dangers in the home and explain what to do in an emergency situation." Let's begin by taking a look at our ground rules together, and we have some friends here to help us.

Laura says, "We should listen to others," and that means not interrupting when somebody else is speaking.

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 judgement ," and that means if somebody does decide to share a story or their own 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.

These ground rules are here to make everybody safe in the lesson.

Here are some of today's keywords.

I will read them first to you and then you can repeat them after me.

Are you ready? Dangerous.

Battery.

Swallow.

Well done.

Dangerous means something that can cause us harm.

A battery is something we put in electronic things to make them work.

And swallow means when your throat muscles push something into your stomach.

Here are the rest of today's keywords.

Like before, I will read them first to you and then you can repeat them after me.

Are you ready? Chemical.

Emergency.

Well done.

A chemical is a substance that can change things it touches.

And an emergency is a dangerous situation which needs immediate help.

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

Here is the lesson's outline, and we're gonna begin with, what are some of the dangers inside the home? Our homes are a safe place to live, but there are some dangers that could cause us harm.

Jacob says, "This means we need to be able to spot these dangers and know how to keep safe at home." Matches, candles, and gas from a stove can start fires in the home.

Fires are very dangerous as they can spread quickly and cause harm to people and things.

Children must never touch or play with matches, candles, or stoves.

Time for a check for understanding.

What can cause fires in homes.

Is it A, matches? B, a bath? Or C, candles? Hmm, what can cause fires in our homes? Pause this video so you can have some thinking time.

Well done if you said A, matches and C, candles.

Both of these things can cause fires in the home.

We might find batteries in our toys, TV remote controls, and around the house.

Batteries are poisonous.

This means they can make us very ill if we swallow them.

Button batteries, like the picture on your screen now, can kill us if we swallow them, so we must never put them near or in our mouths.

Time for a check for understanding.

Fill in the missing word in this sentence.

Batteries can kill us if we.

them.

Is that missing word A, see? B, swallow? Or C, touch? Hmm.

Fill in the missing word in this sentence.

Button batteries can kill us if we.

them.

Is it A, see? B, swallow? Or C, touch? Hmm.

Pause this video so you can have some thinking time.

Well done if you said B, swallow.

Button batteries can kill us if we swallow them.

Shelves and cupboards are used to store things like plates, cups, clothes, and heavy items. Sometimes shelves and cupboards could break and fall on us if we are not careful.

We must never climb or pull on shelves and cupboards.

Time for a check for understanding.

Why must we never climb or pull on shelves and cupboards? Tell your learning partner your ideas.

Pause this video so you could have some thinking time.

You might have said to your partner, "They could break and fall us if we are not careful." Well done if you said something similar to my idea.

There are lots of different types of chemicals in our homes.

For example, cleaning sprays, vinegar, and gas from a stove.

Chemicals are all around us.

Some chemicals are safe like toothpaste or shampoo.

Other chemicals are dangerous like cleaning sprays.

Dangerous chemicals are poisonous.

This means they can make us very ill if we swallow them or put them on our skin.

Jacob says, "We must never touch poisonous chemicals." Here are some examples of poisonous chemicals that we might find in the home.

Dishwasher tablets and laundry tablets.

Children must never touch or swallow dishwasher tablets or laundry tablets.

Time for a check for understanding.

which pictures are examples of chemicals? Is it picture A, picture B, or picture C? Hmm.

Which pictures are examples of chemicals? Pause this video so you can have some thinking time.

Well done if you said picture A and picture C.

Vinegar and gas from a stove are both examples of chemicals.

We might find sharp objects in our homes like knives, scissors, or razors.

Sharp objects can hurt us if we are not careful.

Children must never play with sharp objects.

We might also find medicine in our homes.

Medicine is important for making people feel better when they are sick.

Medicine is only safe to take if a doctor or a pharmacist or a trusted adult has said that we can take it.

Some medicines can look like sweets, especially in tablet form, just like the picture on your screen now.

However, they are not sweets.

Children must never take medicine without their trusted adult present.

It is dangerous to take medicine if we are not sick as it can make us unwell.

Time for a check for understanding.

True or false? Medicine is always good for us.

Put your hands on your head if you think it's true or your hands on your shoulders if you think it's false.

Hmm.

Medicine is always good for us.

True or false? Pause this video so you can have some thinking time.

Well done if you said false.

Now I want you to have a little think about why this statement is false.

Pause this video so you can have some thinking time.

You might have said this statement is false because taking medicine when you are not sick is dangerous because it can make you very ill.

We must only take medicine if a doctor, pharmacist, or a trusted adult has told us to.

Time for a task now.

Draw and label four dangers that we could find in the home.

One has been done for you and I have drawn a picture of chemicals and I've written the word chemicals next to it.

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

Your answers could look like this.

We might have drawn and labelled matches, sharp objects, batteries, shelves and cupboards, or medicine.

Well done if your answers were similar to mine.

We're now gonna move on the second and the final part of the lesson.

What do I do in an emergency? An emergency is a dangerous situation where we need to get help as soon as possible.

An emergency could be a fire or someone getting seriously hurt.

Police Officer Kofi says, "If you are in an emergency, it's important to try to stay calm and get help from a trusted adult.

If there isn't a trusted adult close by, you should call 999." Time for a check for understanding.

Which of these are examples of an emergency? It's A, someone breaking their arm? B, someone grazing their knee? Or C, a kitchen fire? Hmm.

Which of these are examples of an emergency? Pause this video so you can have some thinking time.

Well done if you said A and C, someone breaking their arm or a kitchen fire are both examples of an emergency.

When we call 999 in an emergency, we can get help from the emergency services.

These are: the police, firefighters, ambulance, Coast Guard, and mountain rescue.

Police Officer Kofi says, "You must only ever call 999 if you are in a real emergency and never as a joke.

This is because you can stop help from getting to a person who is in a real emergency situation, which could be very serious.

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

If something dangerous is happening like a fire, try to move to a safe space and listen to what the trusted adult on the phone tells you to do." Time for a check for understanding.

What should we do in an emergency? Is it A, ignore the emergency and play with our toys? B, find a trusted adult or call 999? Or C, try to fix the problem by ourselves? Hmm.

What should we do in an emergency? Pause this video so you can have some thinking time.

Well done if you said B.

In an emergency, we need to find a trusted adult or call 999.

Why should you never call 999 as a joke? Explain why to your learning partner.

Pause this video so you can have some thinking time.

You should never call 999 as a joke because it could stop help from getting to someone in a real emergency situation, which could be very serious.

Well done if you said something similar to your learning partner.

It's important to learn your address, which is where you live, in case you are ever in an emergency at home and have to call 999.

Police Officer Kofi says, "Emergencies are rare, which mean they do not happen very often, but it is a good idea to be prepared just in case.

If you are worried about what we have spoken about today, speak to a trusted adult." Time for a check for understanding.

True or false? Emergencies are rare and do not happen very often, but it is still good to be prepared and to know what to do.

Put your hands on your head if you think it's true, or your hands on your shoulders if you think it's false.

Hmm.

Emergencies are rare and do not happen very often, but it is still good to be prepared to know what to do.

True or false? Pause this video so you can have some thinking time.

Well done if you said true.

Time for a task now.

Sofia is in an emergency.

She has seen someone seriously hurt themselves.

Tell your partner three things Sofia should do.

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.

You might have said to your partner: one, try to stay calm.

Two, find a trusted adult or call 999.

And three, if calling 999, tell the trusted adult on the phone what is happening and where she is.

Time for the second part of our task.

If Sofia was experiencing a dangerous emergency like a fire, is there anything else she would need to do? Tell your partner your idea.

Pause this video so you have some thinking time.

Well done for having a go.

You may have said, "She should do the same as before, but also try to move to a safe place and listen to what the trusted adult on the phone is telling her to do." This brings us to the end of our lesson.
