Safety Around Electricity

Today we went to the hall to learn about staying safe around electricity. We watched a video about Danger Rangers. In the video, Mr Negative threatened to hurt them by zapping them if they didn't follow nine rules. at the end , the characters learned the rules and followed them.

Levi got dressed up in safety gear like a linesman.

The nine rules are:

1.Don't put water near electricity.

2. Don't touch transformers.

3.If there are lines down on your car after an accident, stay in the car.

4. Unplug the toaster before getting stuck toast out.

5. Don't touch a power cord if it's cut or damaged.

6. If a power line is downed by a tree, call 111.

7. Don't overload electrical sockets with plugs.

8. Don't fly a kite near power lines.

9.Don't throw rocks at the insulators on the power lines.

We also learned that 70 per cent of our bodies is made up of water.

Our thoughts about electricity are that it is helpful but can be dangerous if we don't follow the rules!
