Electrical Safety Video

Dear Grade 5/6P,

Every year thousands of people around the world are injured or killed through the misuse of electricity.

Recently in Latrobe Valley we had a young electrician who was electrocuted whilst working on a home at Yallourn North.

Now that we have spent some time learning about electricity and the way it works I’d like you to create (in groups of three) a short movie clip to post on our blog discussing the things you need to know about electricity to stay safe. As a group you need to write a script for your movie and think about props that you might need. We’ll use the program ‘movie maker’ to put our safety videos together. Remember your movie needs to be a reminder to people about how to stay safe around electricity.

Good luck with your video…Ms Johnson, Mrs Pearce and I can’t wait to see what you produce!!!

Mr Price

I try and sprint away from the massive bulls that chase me with their deadly horns and powerful bodies. Around me, people are recklessly screaming and running frantically, trying to avoid the stampeding bulls. What I thought was going to be an exciting challenge, is turning out to be a disastrous nightmare.
