Note to Pupils:
Safety Outdoor
Outdoor means being outside, not inside a building or house. It’s where you can see the sky, feel the sun, and play in the fresh air.
Outdoor safety precautions
- Look Both Ways Before Crossing: When you want to cross a road, always stop and look both ways. First, look to your left, then to your right, and then to your left again. Make sure no cars or bikes are coming, and it’s safe to cross.
- Stay with Grown-Ups: When you are outside, like in a park or on a street, always stay close to your grown-up or teacher. They will keep you safe and help you if you need it.
- Don’t Talk to Strangers: If someone you don’t know comes up to you and tries to talk to you, don’t talk to them. Instead, go find your grown-up and tell them about the person. We only talk to people we know and trust when we are outside.
Evaluation:
- What does “outdoor” mean?
- Can you name one safety symbol we discussed for the road?
- How should you behave when you meet someone you don’t know?
Note to Teachers:
