River Safety Brochure

LI: To promote river safety.

This activity focused on keeping ourselves safe in rivers, especially since NZ has many water bodies to offer. On the outside brochure, we talked about and gave information about rivers as well as gave facts about rivers. These facts can keep others safe. On the inside brochure, we talked about the river safety rules, more specifically about how we keep ourselves safe and still have fun. I included river activities that you could do or participate in at rivers.

If the water is shallow, you should not try to dive in as you can be badly injured as result. You should check with an adult to make sure the current of the river is safe to swim in, because sometimes the current is strong and can pull you out to a wider water body. If you are not a confident swimmer, you should always be supervised by an adult or stay near the shallow end.

This task helped me understand more about how to keep myself safe in the river as well as what I should do in case of help.
