Sycamore’s Sparkler Safety Session

This morning in Sycamore Class we have discussed and put into practice ‘Sparkler Safety’

Our rules to follow to stay safe:

Wear gloves
Keep lit sparklers at arms length
Don’t put the sparkler on the floor
Keep 2 metres away from other people
An adult needs to light the sparklers
When our sparkler has finished put it in a bucket of water
Put the handle of our sparkler in a carrot to make it more sturdy
If you need help, ask an adult
If there is an emergency, shout for help

Our learners worked hard to follow these rules and have lots of fun. We discussed why sparklers are dangerous and the learners said ‘they are hot’ ‘they might burn us and others’ ‘you need fire to make them sparkle’ our learners also discussed that if we don’t follow our safety rules, it might cause a bigger fire and then we would need to phone the emergency services to help us, they were able to identify the correct emergency number and correct emergency department to ask for.
