Today both P7 classes went on a bus to go to Absafe in the Bridge of Don. At Absafe the Primary 7’s learned about how to keep themselves and others safe in the community. Some of the highlights and important information that we learned were:
- Pretending it was someone’s birthday and they dropped their new phone on a railway track. We had to figure out how to collect it safely. The best way is to leave it!
- Someone in the class had to pretend to be unconscious and we learned how to do the recovery position.
- Solvent abuse can kill you instantly.
- We were in a pretend Living Room and had to point out the fire hazards. Then we watched a video based on a real life story.
- In another video we learned about Road Safety – specifically listening out for cars, not music.
- During another activity, we learned how to resolve cyber-bullying safely.
- We completed a quiz at the start of the sessions and a quiz at the end to show how much we learned. The score went up at the end of the day (we even beat last years P7 score…)
Overall, it was exciting, interesting and a fun day!
