Thursday 7th March
Today year 5 and 6 went to Dangerpoint and there was green alien.

First we went into a room with K-os (the green alien). Then we went into groups, my group was Me , Summer-L, Daisy-H, Faith, Josh, Scarlett and Gabriel. We went to the beach first and we watched a video of the RNLI. Next we stepped outside and we saw a car and some traffic lights. The lady with us pressed the button and when the beep noise started the car scared everyone because it made a brummmmmmmmmm noise.

Next we went into a room to talk to to K-os to help him with his homework. Then we went to the fake shop where the lady showed us tar from cigarettes.

DangerPoint
Today me and the yr5/6 class went to danger point in Talacre. The first thing we did was wake up K-os, ask it some questions and then a quiz. We got an amazing 53.7%.

Me and Daisy H and Lillia , Faith, Gabriel, Josh and then Scarlett were with a ranger called Brenda. Interestingly there was a fake beach room which my group went to first, then me and my group watched a video of the RNLI, saving a girl who floated out to sea.
After that we went to the fake crossing lights and we had to cross and then there was a fake car there , it made a really loud brummmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then there was a dangerous electricity point, Brenda got a wooden stick and tried to get the bag out instead of going in the zone. When she got the bag hooked on the stick, lights started flashing and fake smoke came out.

Later on we went and talked to K-os again and helped him with his homework. Then we went to the fake shop. Faith had a fake credit card and we made up a card pin for her and pretended that it was real. Then whilst still in the shop we looked at what a smokers tongue looked liked and some other dangerous stuff.

After that we went to the most dangerous place there- which was a home! We had to put a hoop on the most dangerous places. Then another group joined us and we watched a short video about someone’s house being set on fire (no one was injured during the making of the video).

Then we went to the room where there was a video of a girl being bullied by some people in her class, she eventually told her mum who then told her teacher .
Then we went to talk about what are the dangers for some people waiting for a bus ( they were cardboard cut out people).

After that we went on a fake train and we watched a video all about some teenagers who were on the side of the train path, when a train passed they would get stones from the train track and throw them at the trains, but there are CCTV cameras and they were filmed trespassing. T he police came and they split up, 2 went away and 2 got caught and arrested the other 2 were not arrested,but 1 was killed because they ran in front of a train The other also ran in front of the train but was seriously injured. At the end of the video it told us some interesting real facts this was one: over 250 people each year are killed by a train.

After we watched that we went outside of the “train” and the women made loud noises and we had to say when we could here the train coming. Then we did the same thing without the women making noises and we heard the train a lot better.

Once we finished the train area we went to the “farm” and talked about dangers at the farm.

After that we went to a bit about cars and then sewage water. The amount of fast water is 15cm to knock you of your feet. Me and my group went to lunch then to the shop . Then we finished and went to the bus .

Weather: rainy
Today at 9:15 we went to ‘Danger point’ in Talacre where we learnt of dangers in the world,(its in the name.)

First we went upstairs and were introduced to k-os pronounced chaos, on a massive screen. After that we all did a quiz on safety with.We were given a remote control where once we pressed a button it would act as a vote.

The activity we did first was in a farm-like place where we had a discussion about dangers of electricity and farms! One thing we learnt about farms is that hay is incredibly flammable and k-os was getting on the overhead electrical wires to get its kite!

Just after that, we went to the bottom of the flood activity; it wasn’t working.We learnt that if water is 15 centimetres high it can sweep you off your feet, now that’s interesting! Then we went to the beach safety place. Here my group watched a video of what the RNLI do and what to do when you are stranded in the ocean: you maintain your buoyancy and call for help.

Later we went outside to learn about road safety. There was a FAKE generator outside and we could try to take the backpack from it with a stick. It made zappy sounds and it also lit up.

After that we went back inside to go to the gift shop and I bought: a bendy pencil, a duck whistle and a pot of play dough.
