Safety Seymour Shares a Message about Gas Safety

Children in our school were visited by Safety Seymour, a fun and colourful character who has an important message to share about gas safety in the home, and the dangers of Carbon Monoxide (or CO) poisoning in particular.

The session focused on educating children in a fun and engaging way on the dangers of carbon monoxide, what the symptoms are and also how to stay carbon monoxide safe. This is done through various activities and involves several areas of the curriculum including drama, science, art, and Personal, Social and Health Education (PHSE). The sessions were supported by Safety Seymour. Safety Seymour is a bear on a mission. He’s a caped crusader who has been visiting schools to teach children about how they can spot the signs of CO gas, and how to keep everyone at home safe and well.

After learning about what to look out for, all the children in year 2 were given a free Carbon Monoxide alarm from Safety Seymour to take home and put in the room where it is best for it to be placed. Following tips from Safety Seymour, all the children had a good idea of where they could place their alarm.
