Keeping safe

In today's lesson the children will be looking at how to keep themselves safe on bonfire night. We will be drawing on prior knowledge of Guy Fawkes and the children will be listening to a story about where bonfire night originated from. We will then listen to a firefighter to obtain real advice about disposing of sparklers and what to do if they are hit by a firework. The children will then raise awareness to others by creating a safety poster.

Children will learn what a hazard is and how to spot them in their own homes through a series of images shown. Children will then carry out a basic risk assessment on a room of their choice.

Children will be looking at some common road signs and will learn how to keep safe whilst out on a bike. Children will become familiar with the car seat law and create a fact sheet on what they have learnt.

Children will learn how to reduce the risk of fires in their homes by identifying hazards and rectifying them. They will know the importance of smoke detectors and listen to a firefighter's safety advice. They will then create their own evacuation plan for their house.

Children will be looking at safety signs outside and know their importance. Laws will be explored and children will watch a police officer being interviewed. They will end the lesson by creating their own rules.
