Upper Primary (7-11 Years)

We are happy to visit your school with our activity run water safety advice assembly. The assembly is approximately 60 minutes long and caters for one class per session, either in the classroom environment or in the school hall. Please note that throw line work needs a room or space large enough to throw them.

Part 1

Year 3 & 4: The group will watch a Sojo animation about a Dog, a Duck and a Fish and being safe at the river.

Sojo used children’s drawings from Trent Vale Infant School and by adding a little Sojo magic brought these images to life creating an age appropriate, factual message about the dangers of open water.

The story will be available to purchase in book form that the children can read repeatedly and share with their peers and family spreading the message.

Year 5 & 6: they have the option to watch the animation.
