On Thursday 3rd March Year 6 went to Ripon to take part in Crucial Crew. At Crucial Crew they took part in a variety of different workshops covering all aspects of safety.
They learnt about water safety and rescuing someone from the water. They also learnt about the recovery position.
There were workshops on road safety and how to deal with an accident, as well as farm safety, safety around electricity and how to keep safe using the internet.
The Fire Service talked about what to do in a fire and the police explained how they deal with shop lifters and those who take part in anti-social behaviour. They also told the children about the dangers of drugs.
One of the best bits was the opportunity to make 999 calls, as if for real, to a special call centre set up for the event.
Not only did the Year 6 children impress with their excellent behaviour, but their mature and sensible attitude to the different workshops meant that they got a great deal from all aspects of the trip.
This is a really important part of learning and I know that Dominic got a lot out of it - even after seeing all the accidents that can and have happened on a farm!
