Lockdown Drill
Morning all,
At some point today I will be doing a lockdown drill with the children.
Honestly, I’ve been putting it off whilst trying to think of a way to make as calm and not frightening for the children as possible.
For the children we are going to call it a ‘ Stay Safe’ drill and talk about situations like a cross dog on the yard or some sort of gas leak in the community.
They will hear the alarm and then classroom doors will be closed, any children outside will be brought in and we will lock main gate.
In reality, all schools in Caerphilly are now required to do this drill in case of any emergency requiring schools to lock down.
There were two local schools that needed to lockdown a few weeks ago. I’m sure you will also have seen similar things on the news.
If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to message me.
Kindest regards,
Mrs Beard-Robbins
