The Canals and Rivers Trust worked with us today to discuss how we can be safe near water. The children were really good at spotting what would be a hazard but they learnt lots of new, useful information too.
We know not to jump in after somebody if they are in trouble in the water. At home, ask us why this is important.
We know how to use a life belt properly. At home, see whether we can tell you the dos and don’ts of this.
And, we know what we can do to help somebody who is in trouble in the water (while waiting for a response from 999), keeping ourselves safe too. A home, ask us what we could use instead of a rope to help somebody…
…and, find out why one of us is lying on the ground during this rescue attempt – they’re not just being lazy!
