Hi there. It’s me, Caspian. Today we went to DG1 activity centre to take part in Operation Safety, which teaches us how to stay safe, or keep others safe in emergencies. We had six sets. The first one our group went to was internet safety. We used a pre-made account to make a TikTok about how to stay safe on a certain website. Before that, we made an A-Z of websites and games.
Afterwards, we went into electrical safety. We learnt how circuits work, and how to stay safe near exposed wires.
Then we had to help a body get ready for the ambulance after it had fallen from a chair. We learnt what ABC stands for, and how to do the recovery position.
After that, we went into water safety. We found out what the rings and poles next to rivers and lakes are for, and we learnt what to do if someone falls in to the water.
Then we had lunch. I needed more cocktail sausages.
Then we went into the Youthworker’s set. We had to write down who our role model is, and then we had to write things we like to do, things we are good at, things we like about ourselves, and who we can talk to if we’re worried.
Then we went into fire safety. We learnt that if you throw a live firework, you will be fined for £5000. Then we played a game where we threw a thingymabob at what we think is good to put on a bonfire or not.
Then there was the big quiz. We should have chosen other people for ours, because we got ZERO points, thanks to Payton and Ori.
Anyway, it was fun!
