Inquiry | Safety plane

This week, we assessed the risk, hazard and consequences that could happen while lighting a fire and making s'mores over the fire, then doing it in person. We made a safety plan for making a fire and for making s'mores. 

First, we discussed the hazard and risks for the first safety plan. Then, we wrote down the hazard and risks. A hazard while making a fire, is the fire itself. However, the cosequences could be getting burnt by the fire.

After writing down the hazards and risks, we talked about what the cosequences could be, how we could prevent it, who is responsible for it and the emergency plan.

Next, we made another safety plan for making s'mores with the fire. We repeated the process but made different hazards. After making the safety plans, we went onto making the fire and making our s'mores.

Mr Ogilvie lit the fire and started to demonstrate how to make the marshmallows. After the demonstration, we made the s'mores.

I found this activity quite hard because I couldn't cook the marshmallows without burning them.
