On Friday 20th October P6 and P7 travelled with Ballykelly Primary School to RADAR in Belfast. RADAR stands for Risk Avoidance Danger Awareness Resource. RADAR is a purpose built interactive education centre which aims to increase children's awareness and knowledge of the dangers that they can encounter at home, on the roads and in society. RADAR also educates children of the importance of being good citizens especially as they move to bigger schools and have to deal with peer pressure. The children all really enjoyed and benefitted from their visit to RADAR. Here are some of the things they learnt
- Road Safety - as a pedestrian and a passenger in a car
- Personal safety - keeping themselves safe from abuse
- Fire safety - focusing on fire in a bedroom
- Internet safety - keeping safe on social network
- Alcohol - underage drinking
- Anti Social Behaviour - how to respect others and be mindful of how their actions can affect others.
