We've been discussing Hazards in Room 1 lately. An interesting comment was made by one of our students that "Everything is a hazard". We then discussed at length whether this statement is true or not, for example is a window a hazard? "yes because it may smash and cut you."

So Mr Baylis asked Room 1 that if everything is a hazard then he should be wearing a safety helmet all of the time, safety glasses,  thick leather clothing and steel capped boots. This was met with a chorus of "don't be silly" "you can't live like that" etc.

So Room 1 came to the conclusion that yes there are potential hazards everywhere, but the key thing is to be prepared if one arises. By being prepared we mean knowing what to do to manage that situation.

We've taken this idea of being prepared and analysed 2 road safety songs - one by the wiggles, one by the funky monkeys. We then completed a PMI chart about the message the songs were providing. The final aspect to our task is to take our analysis and create our own road safety song. 

We'll continue working hard on them and if possible will post them on here for you to enjoy.
