Water Safety Workshop: 1st-6th Class

Pupils from 1st to 6th Class recently took part in an excellent and informative workshop delivered by Rosie from Water Safety Ireland.

1st and 2nd Class pupils learned about the dangers associated with water and how to stay safe in and around ponds, lakes, rivers, and the sea. They were shown how to make a star shape to help them stay afloat and learned about lifejackets and lifebuoys, including how to throw a lifebuoy correctly. They also explored the different coloured flags used at beaches and their meanings.

Pupils in 3rd to 6th Class covered all of the above topics and also learned about farm safety, with a particular focus on the dangers of slurry pits.
