*This shift involves the school giving each student a unique email address, which he will need to setup ( the teachers will assist him in doing the same). This email will facilitate each student to interact with his teachers.

* The student should use this email ID only for:

-interacting with  teachers on school /subject related matters

-keep the words and expressions as he would- if he  were interacting with us as a Columban student

-use the facilities connected to this email ID only for google meets organised with the permission of a teacher

(He should have a copy of the permission given - when and by which teacher and for what purpose).

you will need to sign an agreement when creating this email ID.

Good Morning Students

In our last class we  learnt that accidents can happen anytime and anywhere without warning. People get hurt due to accidents and if we are not careful it may cause serious injuries.

Today we will learn how to be careful and avoid accidents at home.

By the end of today's class you will be able to:

• List the accidents that happen at home.
• Enumerate the safety rules to avoid such accidents.

SAFETY AT HOME

We all feel very safe and secure at home. But most of the accidents happen at home due to our carelessness. Accidents happen when:

•  We cut vegetables
• Lean too far out of the window to look at the flying kites or birds
• Climb steps without care
• Step on sharp objects
• Walk on a slippery floor
• Leave sharp edged objects or toys on the floor

We should observe the following safety rules to avoid them.

• We should keep our toys, books or other belongings in their proper place. We should not scatter them on the floor. They can hurt someone.

• We should never play on the stairs, terrace or other elevated (situated or placed higher than the surrounding area) places because falling down from there may cause severe injuries.

• Keep the bathroom clean. Do not leave water with soap or detergent on the floor. Bathroom injuries are very fatal (causing death).

• Never play with sharp objects like knife, blades etc. Playing with these objects can hurt you and cause Tetanus (a bacterial disease).

         

In case of a gas leak, 

• Open all the doors and windows of your home. 
• Do not switch on the lights.
• Inform your elders immediately.
• Call a mechanic to repair the leak.

Now it's time to write the new words that we have learnt today in our notebook.

1. Elevated - situated or placed higher than the surrounding area

2. Fatal - causing death

3. Tetanus - a bacterial disease

That's all for today.

Take care. God Bless!!
