SafeSparks Article

Hi I'm Bianca and I'm Mathias.
We are here to tell you about the SafeSparks programme.
On Wednesday last week a man called Bob came from Unison to talk to us about how to be safe around electricity.  After we had finished with Bob we went to Room 3 to have a chat with Anna and she talked to us about how to be safe around power boxes, power poles, substations and transformers. We learnt by watching a video. She also asked some questions that Bob had told us the answers to, so we had to think back and give HER the answers.

We learned...

* ... if you have rubber boots on, electricity can't conduct and go through the boots and give you a shock or anything. By Ana

* ... if a tree is touching a power line you're not aloud to climb the tree. By Paige

*... if there is a power pole on a car after an accident and there are people inside the car, don't touch it because the wires might be live. By Jack

*... when a bird goes on a power line it cannot get electrocuted but if it goes on a transformer it gets a shock. By Wyatt

* ... that electricity can go around the world 7 times in 1 second. By Grace

* ... never throw or kick balls at power boxes. By Tyler

*... never throw your shoes on power lines because when it's windy, the line will tear. By Rama

*... look up and check before climbing a tree because if there is a power pole close to a tree you might get electrocuted. By Jordan

*... if you get an electric shock and you are holding something you cannot let go. By Ezrah
