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 .
