Please answer the questions.

What is the Santa Dash? Who takes part? Where is the Santa Dash held? What happens in the Santa Dash? Why is there a Santa Dash?

Imagine you are the organiser of a Santa Dash at school.

Could you create a Santa Dash for Moreland?

Work in pairs to make your own event.

Please read the following article. It is really interesting to read how many accidents can happen around us. Please complete the online reading, and quiz, then consider the following.

You have been given the job as Health and Safety representative at Moreland Primary School. Think of how children and staff move around the school, and the items and objects we use that could cause accidents if we do not use them safely. Can you make a report highlighting the areas and objects that our Health and Safety Officer ( Marcus ) needs to be aware of?‍
