If you are in a primary school year 5 you will just have visited Safety in Action and taken part in a series of lifeskill workshops!  We answered the important life saving messages that are not taught in school. 

How to get out of you home if there is a fire, what do you do if you find an unconscious collapsed person or how to recognise a rip current and get help from the lifeguards.

What about crossing the road or staying safe at home?  All these quesitons and more were covered during Safety in Action - not preaching but talking about how things can go wrong and what you could do to prevent it.

And what a success it was this year!  Everyone arrived on time and the children were fantastically behaved.  Great fun was had by all!  Watch this space to find out who will win the school trophies in October!  Click here to tell us what you thought of it if you went !

Of course, none of this could have happened without the brilliant support from local companies.  A huge thanks goes to B&Q, Romerils and the JEC for help with the new kitchen workshop.  Thanks to the Idea Works for the great beach banner backdrop and Vend! for the water drunk by children crawling out of the smoke house.  Thanks to the Co-op and Marks & Spencers for the great healthy snacks and drinks in the childrens goodie bags.  A huge thanks to Professor Sallis for allowing us to use Highlands College again as the perfect venue.
