25 Jan 2023
In response to recent broadcasts on the news North Stainley Primary School are joining an online Water Safety Assembly presented by Yorkshire water on the 2nd February.
The assembly is split into two parts which are created and presented specifically for the ages watching.
Class 1 will be watching the early years & KS1 assembly.Starting - 9am please may children be in school before 9am so as not to disrupt the assembly
Our Water Safety live events offer an introduction to staying safe, both in and around water and in the wider landscape.
Water safety is an important message all year round. Cold water can be a killer and we'd like to start raising awareness of water safety from a young age.
Aligning to Swim England’s water safety messaging, we’ll explain how students can help keep themselves and their family safe, endorse messaging about always swimming with an adult and explain where to find safe places to swim.
Class 2 will watch the KS2 assembly.
Water safety is an important message all year round. Cold water can be a killer and we'd like to start raising awareness of water safety from a young age.
Aligning to Swim England’s water safety messaging, we’ll explain how students can help keep themselves and their family safe, endorse messaging about always swimming with an adult, know where to find safe places to swim, and develop understanding that there can be hidden dangers in open water areas such as rivers, reservoirs, canals and seas.
We’ll also remind students how to float on their back for 60 seconds without floatation equipment
and explain why this is important. We’ll explain that cold water can take your breath away and can result in people getting into difficulty and drowning. Information will be provided in what to
do in an emergency – do not enter the water and instead contact 999 and seek adult assistance.
