On Monday 23rd September, P6 and P7 travelled with pupils from Ballykelly Primary School to RADAR in Belfast. Radar stands for Risk Avoidance Danger Awareness Resource. RADAR is Northern Ireland’s first fully interactive, safety and life skills education centre. It’s interactive, fun, and informative. RADAR gives people a unique chance to explore dangerous situations in a risk free environment.
Our children took part in the Key Stage 2 programme which dealt with six main areas.
Bus safety - travelling safely and respecting other passengers and the driver
Social Media Safety - being careful about the information we share on Snapchat, Instagram etc. NEVER arrange to meet a stranger.
Anti-social behaviour - taking care of public areas like parks. The children were shown the consequences of anti-social behaviour. - being arrested!
Road safety- how to safely cross at a crossing.
Hazard House - looked at dangers within the home, tripping, suffocation, chemicals etc
Fire safety - looking for electrical hazards and planning an escape route in case of a fire.
Our children really enjoyed the trip and were given lots of information in a very interactive and visual way.
