LI:To write a setting description

hazard and risk

LI: to assess the likelihood

For inquiry we learnt how to assess risks.

First we rated situations on risk levels like, low, likely, possible, elevated and extreme.  For example, the situation “ using a lighter to check if the lawnmower has petrol” is extreme risk level. 

                

Lastly we wrote down three situations for each risk level and what might be the consequences.

I learnt how to use common sense in risky situations and how to practice safety to avoid danger.

Risk and hazard

LI. To demonstrate prior knowledge 

For inquiry we were learning about hazard and risk.

First we played octopus and four corners. Once we played the two games we identified the dangers and accidents that could of happened. 

Next we identified the difference between risks and hazards. Hazards mean something that can harm people. Risks are the chances that people take that could harm people or other things. 

Then we thought of hazards that could happen in homes,the community,in sports and at school. 

Lastly we wrote down risks that could happen in those places.
