Year 3 were very luck to take part in a carbon monoxide workshop thanks to The Children’s University.

We found out lots of information about how dangerous carbon monoxide can be and what we should do if we suspect carbon monoxide is effecting anybody.

Carbon monoxide can make people feel dizzy, sleepy, give them headache, make them feel sick or make them confused. We found out about all of the different things in our homes that can cause carbon dioxide. We discovered that things like the cooker or boiler that we use every day can leak carbon monoxide into our home. We saw how a carbon monoxide detector can save people from the danger and we discovered where the best place in the house is to place this. Carbon monoxide detectors should be on every floor of a house and should be near appliances that could leak carbon monoxide to ensure we are as safe as possible.

We finished our session off with a quiz, we were really good at recalling all the information we had just learnt.
