This week in school we are highlighting Drowning Prevention week that runs from 20-28 June 2015. The national campaign is run by the Royal Life Saving Society UK and aims to reduce the number of drowning and near drowning incidents that occur in the UK every year by showing people how to be safe near water.
Mrs Storey, our swimming teacher, encouraged the children to get involved during class 3’s swimming lesson on Monday. Class 2 enjoyed spending some of their lessons on Tuesday colouring posters which encouraged water safety awareness. Mr Myers ran an assembly about drowning prevention on Tuesday, too, when he mentioned the tragedies in the River Wear this year near Durham.
Here are some posters that the children have been colouring…
