Last week we welcomed Chris from Canal and River Trust who spoke to our KS1/2 pupils about water safety.
Chris reminded us that the different types of water around us e.g. canals, lakes are not suitable for swimming in (swimming pools are a much better alternative). Our pupils were able to spot hazards by the waterside and learnt how to keep themselves 'SAFE' (which stands for Stay Away From the Edge). Children were also told about the importance of floating in a star shape if they or anyone else falls in.
Please take some to ask your child/ren about the other things they learnt.
