Introduction
Part of the Summer Safety series, this session looks specifically at safety near inland water.
Instructions
We have designed our Summer Safety lessons so that teachers can pick up and teach a topic to their class with confidence.
We have chosen to use a balance of interactive tools and 'unplugged' creative activities.
Lessons can be taught directly from the LessonUp slides but work best when children have access to the pupil app
Lessonup.app
If you have any questions or want to know more, please do get in touch. We'd love to show you how LessonUp can make 'Every Class Better Than The Last'
