On Tuesday 29th September Primary 7 attended Operation Safety at DGOne. During our time there we carried out a variety of activities with different emergency services.
During our visit to the activity with the police we learnt about how to stay safe online. We learned ways to stay safe when accessing different social media apps.
During the activity with Scottish Power we learnt how to stay safe around electricity. We learnt about the dangers around electricity and about different conductors and insulators.
When visiting the Scottish Fire Service we learned about fire safety around our homes and different situations which can present as hazards. We were told to go home and check our smoke detectors and create an evacuation plan.
The fire service also spoke to us about the dangers around bonfires and fireworks. We played a game where we threw a pretend firework and had to answer questions about things we could and could not put on a bonfire.
We also visited the Scottish Ambulance Service where we learned how to perform CPR. We learnt what ABC stands for when someone is unconscious and then we had to perform CPR on a dummy.
Our final activity was with Youthwork. We leaned about the dangers of smoking and vaping. We also thought about developing our resilience.
Overall we thought it was a really good day because we learned how to be safe in different scenarios.
