TALK HOMEWORK Monday 20^th January

                                

This week we are studying Electricity and in our Big Write on Friday we will be writing a safety booklet on ‘Electricity in the Home’.  The following site provides examples of how to keep safe at home: http://www.switchedonkids.org.uk/electrical-safety-in-your-home.  Please can you spend this week talking about:

1.  Why electricity can be dangerous and what we can do to be safe around it?

2. Use the website to help the children to talk the electrical hazards in the home.

3. Discuss electrical appliances that are used in the rooms of our homes and what we have to do to be careful around them.

4. Help the children make a list of Do’s and Don’ts around electricity, e.g.

1. Do:

                                          i.    Ask an adult for help to change a light bulb

                                         ii.    Turn off electrical appliances when not in use

2. Don’t:

                                          i.    Put drinks or any liquid on or above electrical equipment

                                         ii.    Touch electrical appliances with wet hands (THEY DO NOT NEED TO WRITE
