Today P6 had an amazing time at the Dean Park for Danger Detectives. We took part in five different workshops around the park to help us stay safe as we grow up!

We learned lots about being responsible in the countryside: picking up litter and rubbish, being aware of glass and stinging plants and also to avoid the dangerous Giant Hogweed! Yikes!

We loved the Hazard House where fire fighters helped us to spot potential fire hazards in a real living room.

We then helped solve a mystery with Ayrshire Roads Alliance setting up a ‘crime scene’ of a vehicle collision for us to decide the blame: cyclist or driver!

We spoke to local police officers about the importance of community safety, how to avoid unsafe situations and what we should do if we find ourselves in an unsafe place.

Finally, we learned about how to stay safe near water and the dangers of swimming in rivers and streams – float like a star if you find yourself in trouble!

We had a walk around the Dean Park too, seeing deer, the castle courtyard and having a play at the park! A super day!
