Staying Safe

This made me laugh a lot today!

All this week we've been teaching the children about staying safe. Despite this it seems there is a lot of ground work to be covered! I left a bottle of tablets (mints guys, I'm not that irresponsible!) in the classroom for the children to find. One of the boys brought it straight to me- great start. We talked about how it was medicine because of the bottle and label and then I asked who would like some.

Uh oh! The WHOLE CLASS put their hands up! "I will! I'll try it!" they said.

Thankfully two boys declined. Hurrah! I thought. They must realise it isn't safe, especially since that is our focus this week and there is a Dr coming into school to talk to the children today. At least two children aware of the danger is better than none.

Or so I thought.

"This is interesting" I said, indicating the boys who were refusing to take medicine that wasn't theirs. "Why don't you want to try these?"



"Oh, I've had it before. I don't need to try it, I already know what it tastes like."




Ha ha! Love my kids and their logic. Let's try again tomorrow!
