On Wednesday 1st May we had a visit from the RNLI - Royal National Lifeboat Institution. Three lifeguards, came along to our assembly, to talk to us about keeping safe at the beach. They showed the children the different flags that they might see when they go to the beach. The red and yellow flag indicates that there are lifeguards on duty and so it is safe to swim between the two flags. Red is for danger and black and white flags show that only surfers or people with kayaks should go into the sea. They also talked about the dangers of using inflatables in the sea. Demi and Dan were chosen to dress up as lifeguards. They were great models!
The lifeguards also told the children what to do if they ever get into difficulty in the sea between the red and yellow flags. - 'DON'T PANIC' 'HOLD ON TO SOMETHING THAT FLOATS' 'SHOUT FOR HELP'.
P5 created some lovey posters following on from the RNLI visit which can be viewed under ‘Children’s Work’
Now all we need is the summer to come!
