Clued up kids

Wednesday the 29th of July the year 6 students went to the Balclutha Recreation Centre for Clued up Kids. This was a programme that taught us all about safety and how we can keep safe in a range of different situations. We had a great time moving around the different stations listed below.

• Relax kids - taught us some special relaxation techniques. 
• Bike safety - all about following signs and road rules. 
• Water safety - here we put on life jackets on and went on the rescue boat. 
• First Aid - role played people being hurt fixing them. 
• Gun safety - shown different guns and the 7 golden rules with gun safety. 
• Dog safety - they taught us a rhyme, "if there's a dog on its on leave it alone."
• Fire safety - we had to go in a pitch black tunnel following the stop, drop and crawl procedure get out quickly.  
• Motor Bike safety - learning you have to be 16 years old to ride a full sized motorbike.
• Earthquake safety - we went into a trailer and had to follow the procedure of drop stop and hold.

As a group our favourite station we visited was Fire safety, going through the pitch black tunnel was a lot of fun. Overall it was a great day, we learnt a lot about safety in a range of situations. We have to say we are definitely more clued up!
