The Amazing Clued Up Kids

My class went into town last Friday to the Boys Brigade hall to do 'Clued up Kids'. Clued up kids is a program to teach us about safety. There was the fire brigade, Safety around animals, Earthquake drills, St John, Train safety,  Police search and rescue, Safety around the kitchen and on quad bikes.  I liked the fire one the most because we got to crawl through an inflatable dark tunnel to show you how to get down and try and get out fast.  For the St John one we had to bandage our partner up. For a wound you put pressure and elevate.  We had to practise doing drop cover and hold so if we have an earthquake we know what to do. We got taught what not to do around horses. We also got to pat a horse. We learnt that trains take a while to stop so never run out on the railway track. I learnt about the tools that the search and rescue use. S.A.R stands for search and rescue. You have to be 17 + to volunteer to join the S.A.R. Some of the tools are a PLB- Personal Locater Becon. I learnt that you have to be 16+ to ride an adult size quad bike and always wear a helmet. For the kitchen safety we had to spot problems in the kitchen.  Have you ever done clued up kids or something like this?
