Water Safety talks with Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service

This half term we were delighted to welcome Tommy, from Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service, into school to discuss the dangers of water and how to keep safe.

 

Tommy worked with pupils from Year 1 to Year 6 in special workshops. 

 

Teaching water safety in primary schools is crucial for ensuring the well-being of young students. By educating children about water safety in primary school, we can help prevent accidents and drownings in water such as pools, lakes, rivers and in the sea.


Tommy was able to explain the important elements of water safety, like how to swim, float, and recognize dangerous situations, around water.


This knowledge not only  helps to keep our pupils safe but also instils a sense of confidence and independence when enjoying activities near and on water.

The sessions were interactive and engaging with lots of opportunities to ask questions. We hope that this knowledge never has to be used but having taken part in the workshops, it can potentially save lives and promote a culture of safety around water.

Thanks to Tommy and the TWFS for their support.
