Today we had a visit from Michelle Cannon, one of Worthing's Coastal Wardens. She talk to the children about staying safe whilst at the beach.
With the children in Key Stage 1 and Early Years she discussed how to stay safe at the beach, including:
- Staying with a grown up when in the water,
- Wearing sturdy footwear when rockpooling,
- Having a good aim when throwing stones,
-
Use of suncream and hats.
Key Stage 2 were told how to stay safe at the beach, including:
- Swim between groynes not out away from the shore,
- Wearing sturdy footwear when rockpooling,
- Wearing a buoyancy aid if paddleboarding,
- Scoot in a straight line on the prom,
- If you use an inflatable tie it on and grown ups hold the end,
- Use of suncream and hats.
- Relevance of safety flags and demonstrated how to use a throwline.
The Coastal Office have Marine Warrior backpacks which are free to hire (just need £30 deposit), they talked about the rockpool reef in warden's office.
They also discussed leaving nothing but memories and footprints behind and taking all rubbish home.
