Dumb Ways To Die - Be Safe Around Trains

Broadford pupils have benefitted from a number of informative safety sessions.

• Year 6 had a visit from Transport for London to inform them about how to stay safe on the public transport network
• Year 5&6 have received Bikeability Training so that they are safer on the roads
• Year 5 and Year 2 have had a visit from the local fire station informing them of how to avoid fires at home
• PCSO Hopkins came in to talk about the dangers of fireworks
• PCSO Hopkins spoke to the children about personal safety and security of the home - lock your doors and keep a light on
• The Chicken Run theatre company are coming in next term for a road safety visit

However the message doesn't always get heard. We need to deliver the message in a serious, but non threatening way and using a medium that the children will remember.

Check out this very catchy and incredibly informative safety video from an Australian Railway company. Young people and children quite often don't heed safety warnings and make some very dumb choices that have fatal consequences... as do adults!

Watch the video, enjoy the humour, but understand the message. Who would want to be guilty of dying for a dumb reason?
