Beach Safety Day

On Friday we went to the beach to learn about beach safety with Rooms 3 & 4 and Miss R. It was a lot of fun.

We learned to swim between the flags.
We learned to put up one hand if we get in trouble in the water and need help.
We learned what things could be used to help keep you afloat and pull you to safety.
We learned how to put on a life jacket and how to make sure it is the right size to be safe.




We had some fun games and relays with the safety gear. Then we had a picnic lunch.

We were supposed to have a swim and try out our water safety skills in the water but it started to get cold and rain so we had to go back to school without our swim.

Hi Room 1,
What fun it looks like you had at the beach day! You all look very safe with your life jackets on. Hope you had a great day :)

We would like to go and do that to because it looked like you learnt a lot of things about keeping safe in the water.
